    Wasps downward spiral...

    Obviously that's from the journalists side but sounds like they aren't getting their wages which isn't good.

    Not sure if it's still true now but read a council report on student accommodation a few years back that said Warwick Uni students were more likely to be in halls and close to the uni where Cov Uni students were spread around the city in private accommodation.

    Its horrible mate, there's literally nothing to look forward to. I'm still furloughed, no idea if I'll have a job once we get past October so sit here worrying about how I'm going to pay the mortgage and bills. Haven't seen anyone apart from my Mum and Dad in months. My Dads 86 and I can see...

    Some good news. Although this sounds a bit like the moonshot test, Johnson will be annoyed if someone has already developed it and he can't chuck a load of money to his mates. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-54331921

    Football is back!!!! Premier League

    Bit disappointing to see Villa doing so well early on. Was hoping for another relegation battle! Hopefully this is a one off and not a sign that numbers are going up. Presumably if too many players start coming back with positive tests they'll have to look at postponing games which could be...

    This never seems to be explained when people say just get on with it and open everything up. Even if you look at the numbers suggested in Steve's post (#32,717) thats huge numbers of sick and dead, and those numbers were based on restrictions being in place. Is there an acceptable deaths figure...

    You're a couple of years out on the age but at the moment only having 25 years knocked off would feel like a victory. But you can't just dismiss those people with a wave of the hand as acceptable losses. People talk about those who are elderly or have underlying conditions like they're at...

    https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-dave-boddy-19010417 Lost a million quid so far thanks to corona. Doesn't expect crowds back this year but they've budgeted for that. Thinks we could have fans in safely. Difficult but the club is coping. Harder the...

    Assumed there was a lag in people testing positive as every time there's been a big event people have said wait 2-3 weeks to see the impact on cases. From what is being said about current cases if we're following the same pattern as France and Spain the initial surge in cases is in younger...

    That's the expected timeframe for a rise in cases rather than deaths isn't it?

    Point is probably fair. A useful point on the road, if we can keep picking up 4 points every 3 games I'll be more than happy.

    Decent enough first half. Need to sharpen up a bit when we're on the break but the game is definitely there for the taking in the second half.

    They did say they were sat behind a pillar which seems a bit odd when the whole ground is empty!

    Do they think if they keep saying things they will magically happen? 3 millions tests a day and a vaccine that doesn't currently exist being rolled out before Xmas seems pure fantasy. The back up plan is everyone self isolates for 2 weeks before Xmas, so what about people that need to go to work?
