    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    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.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    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...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    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?

    That won't matter the seed is sown now and a lot of people will believe they hit the target. Not to mention if you google it the top results will be news reports on how they hit the target. Think the £350m on the side of a bus showed them how much they could get away with. It was immediately...

    Injuries

    The players will have individual plans which will be fine for general fitness. I guess in some ways it could help Jones catch up if the rest of the squad is going to need a mini pre-season he will be able to join in and will be closer to everyone else's level. Think Jobello is still a couple of...

    Coronavirus Isolation - TV Shows to Binge

    Gave See a go. Only lasted half an hour. I can gloss over a lot of things but this was ridiculous. Is supposed to be set after a virus has wiped out all but 2m of the worlds population and those who remain are blind. Someone it also seems to have wiped out all technology, although this doesn't...

    Last day outcome

    That has us averaging 1.1 point a game for the rest of the season. Our current average is 2, last 6 games is 2.7 points, last 8 is 2.75, last 10 is 2.6. Would need a spectacular collapse in form.

    Women's World Cup 2019

    That's something they seemed to have missed when they launched their legal action. MLS had an attendance of 8,694,584 last year and is self sufficient, the Womens league (NWSL) had an attendance of 792,409 and is subsidised by US Soccer. That funding for the Womens league is part of the...

    5% chance of L1 & 2 completing

    For anyone in the last year of a contract it expires 30 June. You need 4-6 weeks to complete games and most people agree a mini pre-season will be needed so surely something has to be decided pretty soon even if its just to address the issue of expiring contracts and if the transfer window is...

    Then 6 people vote for the Conservatives and 1 person has 9 apples, everyone else has to share 1 between them. :joyful:

    87 cup final thread

    The story I heard is that as it was a new kit design they'd be shipped in boxes. At one point the youth team were going to wear the same shirt in an end of season tournament so some were supplied without sponsors (as it was a beer). The plan then changed and the youth team wore their existing...

    Preston demanding embargo

    Most of the time, when he's not available its Gary Simpson. Between the two of them they do all the Blaze games as well.

    Women's World Cup 2019

    US women's team have had their case for equal pay thrown out before it even got to court. Turns out that they were offered the same deal as the mens team but turned it down and that over the period in question got paid more than the mens team. You'd think that would be the sort of thing you'd...

    Feeling resigned...but not down and out!

    If anything it looks like corona deaths are being under-reported. Look at deaths in care homes for example, 9,707 deaths over the 5 year average but of those 3,093 are listed as corona. What about the other 6,614? That's why IMO the best number to look at is excess deaths. It won't be exact...

    Be interesting to see how they maintain the 100K a day figure as it wasn't promised as a one off, it was meet that target and maintain it. Since yesterday morning the site for booking tests has shown no home testing kits available and there's people on social media saying they've booked to...

    Think people are aware of it but what do you do? If you point out the number is wrong you get the situation we're currently in where as you say people think there's a big number and you did it. If it's not challenged you end up with the same result, there's a big number and you did it.

    Feeling resigned...but not down and out!

    Sorry to hear that mate, hope things work out OK. Its amazing how casually some people dismiss people dying. Of course people die all the time but there are thousands of additional deaths, its not like people have suddenly stopped dying of anything else. And of course even if people have...
