    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Think this was posted earlier in the thread but it indicates the current procedure for quarantining people coming into the country isn't working. I say procedure but from what I can make out you arrive at the airport and are then free to jump on the tube, coach etc with zero quarantine...

    Said a while ago they'd probably u-turn on ending furlough right before the end but I was expecting a bit more notice than 4.5 hours!

    Further Lockdown Rumours

    There's an article in The Athletic saying they've spoken to three MPs who all say the PL will continue as they are now playing BCD and carrying out testing. No mention of the EFL as obviously football doesn't exist outside the PL but I can't see them shutting it down.

    Probably be a good idea for Johnson to lay off calling him Captain Hindsight for a while.

    There's minutes from a SAGE meeting on 21st September where they formally suggested it. Although that was far from the first time it was put forward by the experts, it was being said for weeks before that with it being repeatedly said the longer we left it the less impact it would have...

    It was half term this week wasn't it? Nothing could be more ridiculous than starting a national lockdown the day after the school holidays end, not to mention right as the furlough scheme ends, and insisting everyone go back to school.

    We're getting close but we desperately need to avoid reaching that tipping point where the NHS is overwhelmed. Deaths would go through the roof if that happened. Nightingale hospitals will be little use when there's no staff to run them.

    Hoping this comes to Finham, would be signing up straight away. Already with BT so hopefully could get an upgrade while still in contract.
