Sometimes find it slightly bizarre listening to overseas radio stations and hearing how different some of the responses are to what we experience here. Been listening to Ottawa radio this morning to get some hockey news and the news bulletins were reporting latest figures of zero deaths and one...

Another match announced.

This thread has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Lots of criticism in the group stages. Then looking at the draw an expectation that we'd, as a minimum, reach the final and now a split between those not happy with the tactics & selection of penalty takers and those that think reaching the final is...

Don't worry, our world beating test and trace system will be on top of things when cases surge. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/test-trace-coronavirus-jobs-nhs-b1878826.html

Some odd decisions with the 5 picked to take them and the order of the takers. Good effort but can’t really say we deserved to wi that game. Lets hope it doesn’t haunt those that missed too much.

Does this mean we’re going up?

And no Matterface.

A question. The data shows the vaccine is effective and we continue to be told that the target is to have all adults fully vaccinated by September. Why then is there concern that if we keep relatively minor restrictions in place until September the NHS will then be overwhelmed? Surely if we...

I mentioned him, he suggested 2,500 hospitalisations a day. What was the figure for daily hospitalisations when previous lockdowns were brought in? Also mentioned that the level of hospitalisations would be very disruptive for the NHS and there would be a lot of 'bad outcomes'. Worryingly he...

Just shows how much more infectious the variant is doesn't it? The measures they had in place, hotel quarantine, track & trace and local lockdowns worked until people arriving in quarantine had the delta variant. When a case leaked from quarantine, usually via a staff member, they could track...

Nadhim Zahawi doing the rounds and not doing much to make me believe removing all restrictions is the right thing to do. If as he says people are 'expected to wear masks in indoor enclosed places' why remove the requirement? Was also so desperate to not say Johnson lied in parliament that he...

In news that will surprise nobody it seems 'freedom day' is quickly turning into a shambles. The Times are reporting that the vaccine / negative test passports that have proven effective at test events will be dropped as planned on July 19th but then reintroduced 6 - 10 weeks later. Can someone...

Going to struggle to bat out our overs here.

Premier League here we come. Promotion guaranteed!

Easy solution to that. When cases are rising and its pinging too often just turn down the sensitivity 🤦‍♂️ https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/nhs-covid-app-review-after-dismay-at-numbers-going-into-self-isolation-c0t2rpwjr

Spain opened up in May when cases were low. Its led to a surge in cases. The decision to open up was described as “premature and dangerous” by the former director of Health in Crisis Situations for WHO, "first release of the state of emergency, then the end of curfews, then the opening of...

From what I've seen a lot of CV and CEV people, including myself and my family, were relatively confident with a move back to normality with some precautions still in place and an attempt from the government to minimise the spread of the virus. I'm not talking about anything that would require...

How is it paranoia when the doctor has spent 18 months telling him its not safe to leave the house? He, like many other who are CEV, have been told that even post vaccination the impact of getting covid could be very serious and potentially fatal.

Isn't there another potential workplace issue? If we're letting covid run rampant and happily letting covid numbers spiral on the basis you 'only' get it bad enough to need a couple of weeks in bed or a quick stay in hospital how many businesses can cope with a covid outbreak leading to a...

I presume you mean a job that can't be done from home. Aren't you arguing against your own point here? If you were working in Tesco and worried about getting covid you would be very happy if the government did a u-turn and said masks are still required in shops and some attempt at social...
