    I've got nothing to back this up but did the numbers not drop as far in places where manufacturing or other roles that can't be done from home are more prominent? Hope they aren't trying to send a message that stupid northerners didn't follow the rules so its their own fault.

    Did he give anymore information as that seems at odds with most things I've read recently. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20201001/superspreaders-are-driving-the-covid-19-pandemic How are they even tracking it in schools? We know most infected kids aren't symptomatic and if you don't have...

    How have they established that there isn't any existing suppliers who can meet the demand if they aren't even speaking to any of them? Do you not find it odd that existing suppliers that cover both manufacture in the UK and import are considered by the government unable to meet this demand to...

    That sums it up really. Was all nice and simple at the start, stay at home, protect the NHS. And those that couldn't work got the money they need to survive via furlough. As soon as Cummings made his trip and rather than sack him they decide to start messing around with the message it all fell...

    Project Big Picture...

    The laughable thing about the big six is that none of them have managed to finish every PL season in the top 6. Some of them haven't even managed to be in the PL every season. That's before you even consider the pre-PL years which many people seem to think have been erased from history. If...

    Spot on from the DCMS but lets hope they stick with it and apply pressure on this. I think any football fan in the country would tell you change is needed but the change required is essentially a move back towards how things worked pre-Premier League. Better distribution of funds throughout the...

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    I think SISU were on the right track when they tried to get AEG involved. Personally I think if the Ricoh is going to end up a success, and we're nearing a point where the Ricoh will be of an age that it won't be a new and modern facility much longer so it needs to happen sooner rather than...

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    Realistically what can he do to prevent it happening past pumping more of his own money in? The potential issue is that according to national media reports pre-covid their owner was reaching the limit of what he could put into Wasps. If there's now an additional half a mill a month losses to...

    Just so I've got this clear the argument being made is that the multiple existing UK based manufacturers and suppliers of PPE who say they have been unable to even get a response from the government leading to them sending their PPE overseas are all either making it up, can't supply product to...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Doesn't that end up making loads of league games dead rubbers with teams that are either already in the playoffs or def out not giving a shit?

    You might want to go on to a job site and search for diversity manager jobs. I just did that and you only have to look at a handful of listings to see the salary you posted are very low.

    This has always been their thinking as far as I can tell. They don't seem to have at any point considered the so called 'zero-covid' approach. Its always been a case of what they can get away with without overwhelming the NHS as they know at that point deaths would go through the roof. To be...

    Seen a few epidemiologist all saying the same thing. To start to get back to anything even vaguely approaching normality we need everyone to wear mask, strict enforcement of social distancing and no let up on the hand washing & cleanliness. Given that half the country seems to refuse to wear...

    Aren't some unis doing their own testing? If they're testing everyone then its not a surprise the numbers have shot up as we know there's loads of people who get it and don't show symptoms so would never normally get a test. Although I'm not sure how many tests they can be doing given that it...

    This is good news at face value at least. Will be interesting to see more details of this as they become available. The cynic in me is drawn to the phrase "firms forced to shut by law". How does that work for, as an example, a wedding venue who has had all their bookings postponed. Legally...

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    Think there's some semantics going on here. An £8m drop in revenue is obviously a huge issue but its not an £8m loss as there would be costs associated with those revenues that are no longer being paid out. And of course it depends on your starting point. This is where Wasps have a real issue...

    Football is back!!!! Premier League

    Its being reported that from next weekend the PL will stop broadcasting all games via a combination of BBC, Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon. The new plan is that any games not on the 'normal' TV schedule, ie the ones that would be broadcast if crowds were allowed in, will now move PPV at £15 a...
