All the test events have required a negative test for entry and some level of mask wearing & distancing, although as we've seen from televised games there's a decent percentage of people who seem incapable of wearing a mask properly if at all. In the next round of testing some events drop the...

Given this will most likely be a fix of first teams and U23s who are the youngsters to watch out for this season who could make the breakthrough?

Doubt we'll never know. China aren't exactly open about things at the best of times so if they have made a massive fuck up they aren't going to own up to it. The secrecy was the reason the US had an epidemiologist embedded in the disease control agency over there, so she could raise the alarm if...

The dominant strain there is the UK variant. Our plans for opening were based on that being the dominant strain here, rememberer we didn't have to worry about the Indian variant as the government had that all under control. We now have high rates of the Indian variant, they don't. But they are...

Everything is trending in the wrong direction and we've seen time and time again how quickly this can get out of hand. Staggering to me that people are still saying ignore the experts and just go for it and hope for the best.

Surely that's correct, just look at the numbers? A few weeks ago we were told not to worry about this variant as we'd have no problem just tracking and tracing every case and keeping it under control, no need to close the borders. Now its rising and rising fast and is by far the dominant strain...

Think its already been said it can't happen this season due to work on the pitch but that we will be able to play friendless there in future seasons. Although unless we are playing someone massive what's the point? Better off playing somewhere like Nuneaton and it being full.

At least we won't have posts about how there's going to be trouble at New Street every week now we're back in Cov :D

Looking at that the entrance will be right next to the away fans entrance which is normally blocked off so you can't even walk round there to your car. Be interesting to see how they're going to allow access but keep the fans separate.

Like that. Nice and simple.

Not sure there is any valid excuse they can give for things like PPE. They had exercise cygnus, well eventually it was postponed for two years as they were too busy with Brexit, to test the pandemic preparedness plan and lack of PPE and ventilators were among the many things flagged up. As...

That's got to be a parody hasn't it? Wasn't there something from the Advertising Standards Agency around the time of Brexit that they couldn't intervene no matter how false any advertising was as political adverts are exempt from the rules.

Not a great showing from Hancock today. You'd have thought after everything aimed at him yesterday he'd be very keen to clear his name but apart from a vague 'its not true' don't think he actually denied anything specific.

Anyone know if there's a George Best documentary on tonight? You'd have thought they'd have mentioned it.

Max would have scored that :D

Just in case anyone wasn't aware the match is streamed for free on YouTube by BT, think its part of their contract agreement. Champions League will be the same on Saturday. Will be giving it a watch when the GB ice hockey game is over.

Thought about that myself but its hard to work out at the moment I think. What we're looking for is what the numbers should be once the vaccination program is done and things are back to 'normal'. Then how does that compare to other thinks like flu and other transmissible diseases. Wonder what...

Big jump in cases today, past the 3K mark for the first time in over 6 weeks. Fingers crossed hospitalisations don't rise, can't tell what's happening there as the hospital admission stats haven't been updated for 4 days.

I had the chance to move to Australia a few years back and didn't. Regret that decision but didn't really have a choice. As an only child with elderly parents who need caring for you can't really bugger off to the other side of the planet. Mate who did make the move says his quality of life...
