    No its not updated, the 0.7 is from an Imperial College report a few days ago but the reality is we're not doing enough testing to have an accurate number.

    Using the latest excess death data to model through to the current date it has us unfortunately going past. Hopefully this will turn out to be wrong but so far every time the ONS has released data the figure has been updated to a higher number as they are trying to keep the modelled numbers as...

    Revenue idea if only BCD for the foreseeable future

    If, and its a very big if, all 4 divisions announce they are going to finish the season BCD you can see what is coming a mile off. Sky, BT and the BBC will split up the additional PL matches between them so all games are shown live and the PL clubs will get extra money for them to offset the...

    There's a huge difference in those numbers. One is 6% of the population and the other is 50%. If its 50%, and re-infection isn't possible, you're getting to the point of herd immunity being a viable way forward. Going to need a lot more certainly on the numbers before they can be used to...

    Why on earth are you worried? Its not like this will be run by Faculty (previously ASI Data Science who were linked to SCL Group in the Cambridge Analytica scandal). And its not like Faculty is run by Marc Warner. The same Marc Warner whose brother, Ben, was recruited by Cummings after...

    On the face of it yes it is a good thing. If its purely that we created extra capacity in case it was needed and shut it down when it wasn't then job done. However if it has been shut down as other hospitals have stopped referring patients there due to them being turned away as there't no...

    Revenue idea if only BCD for the foreseeable future

    Something like the membership thing they used to do (possibly still do) where you got iplayer included and other things on top, think you got a discount at the shop, priority on tickets and that sort of thing. They'd need to rework it as obviously things like ticket priority aren't much use now...

    5% chance of L1 & 2 completing

    Interesting read, although obviously just one players take on things. The David Conn bit made me laugh given how clueless he's shown himself to be when writing about our situation. Exclusive player prediction: 'Back in September with crowds' - Football365

    5% chance of L1 & 2 completing

    Said this the other day after the PL meeting. Why are extra measures being put in place for PL footballers that aren't required for someone working minimum wage in a supermarket or warehouse?

    Should small women enter the police force?

    I can remember going to one place years ago (not in Cov), was a small after hours chill out type place. There was a group of 5 or 6 of us a bit the worse for wear. Got there and there wasn't a queue but there was two chaps in the process of being turned away. Both smartly dressed, neither...

    St Andrews/ The Ricoh

    Wasn't particularly putting forward an argument for or against playing at St Andrews but the idea that the EFL won't be flexible with their rules for BCDs games given their history is laughable. I see no reason not to continue at St Andrews assuming they are reasonable and aren't charging us...

    Should small women enter the police force?

    Whatever happened to dress codes to get into places? In my clubbing days you had zero chance of getting in somewhere if you were wearing t-shirt, jeans and trainers, or anyone of the three. I think I've reached the 'kids these days' phase of life.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Exactly right, he has previously been reported as nearing the limit of what he could put into Wasps and that was before the impact of the current crisis and the potential impact of Brexit. Add in talk of the whole league being in financial trouble and clubs breaking away and forming their own...

    St Andrews/ The Ricoh

    The EFL are flexible with their rules at the best of times. Given what is happening at the moment any reasonable request that helps gets games played when needed is likely to be approved.

    I'm going to take a wild guess here. He didn't show any of this "enormous evidence" and we've just got to take his word for it?

    Down to 56,397 people tested in todays figures. Still no home testing kits available on the booking site as it seems they sent out thousands to Conservative party members to fudge the numbers.

    I'm interested to know more detail of how you believe the response to Covid-19 to be the fault of Labour? It was under a Labour government that the National Risk Register was created which highlights the dangers of a pandemic. Then in 2009 there was the swine flu pandemic. An independent...

    Then why is there so many people on social media saying they can't get a test? Why is there people booking tests to find the only option is to go to a testing centre hours away? Why are people turning up at testing centres at the booked time to find there is no staff?
