    How long until

    Isn’t that the second issue they’ve had this season already? Assume a lot of them have day jobs, can’t imagine employers being too impressed if this keeps happening.

    Ermmm, hello 😏⚽️

    The quote doesn't really match the headline unfortunately. "The EFL remains in discussions with the government about the pilot programme which may include a limited number of further pilot matches during September with capacity limited to 1,000". There may be a limited number of games used as...

    Sad news, not sure how they can lose this many jobs without it having a significant impact on their operations. Fingers crossed grass roots doesn't take a big hit. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/54161886

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Spent some time this morning working out just how screwed I'd be if I'm not back in work when furlough ends. Anyone who thinks living on benefits is an easy life might want to try running through the entitledto website and seeing what you'd be expected to live on. Mine ends up as £409.89 a...

    Not sure why people are complaining about tests, Patel was on TV this morning and was very clear, "tests are available" and "its wrong to say tests are not available". I made the same mistake, although the way the data is presented is pretty misleading. The total test capacity number the...

    Couldn't read the story as the FT have it behind a paywall but I've found an Indian report which seems to come from the same interview. He works for the Serum Institute of India and seems to be suggesting that India doesn't have the infrastructure or manufacturing capacity to delver vaccines to...

    Not entirely sure how it works. Presumably if the Cambridge University one comes off we're at the front of the queue. If its another vaccine that is the one we need are the pharma companies going to be dicks about who owns the rights or just let every country manufacture it themselves?

    Life found on Venus of all places!

    Knew it was something pretty big as the BBC have cleared the schedule for a Sky At Night special this evening. The way things are going here I'm up for moving to Venus.

    This of course illustrates the issue with not collecting enough data but lets go with 3.4m from the Imperial College recent study. Even if you take the bottom end figure for herd immunity to kick in at 60% you're still looking at half a million deaths. Now it may be the mortality rate changes if...

    But isn't that because of the restrictions that have been in place? 41,628 deaths from 368,504 cases, that's more than 1 in 10 people who test positive dying. Are we really going back to the suggestion that we let it work its way through the population until we hit herd immunity?

    There must be something we're not being told about the testing. According to the government website we're still doing the same number of tests everyday and even if demand had gone up it should still be possible for people to get a test.

    Think it might be that season ticket holders can get the game on ifollow, even if its on Sky. For those paying a tenner per game the Sky games aren't on ifollow but you can get a Now TV day pass for the same price.

    Been at my Mum & Dads all day watching the most boring ODI I can remember. Finally gave up as England had no chance and in the time it took me to get hope the Aussies lost 4 wickets for 3 runs!

    I cant airplay from iPad or iPhone, just get a blank screen, same with a HDMI adapter on either of those devices. Got an old Mac Mini and AirPlay or HDMI don‘t work, video blanks out and just get commentary. For some reason if I airplay from my Macbook it works fine.
