    100% agree that number of deaths is a travesty but arresting people for going outside their area or that bloke Italy who reported his mates fall getting fined What type of society do we actually want to live in ? If things are that severe move the schools to online learning for a couple of...

    What fucking world have we turned into ?! Sturgeons going to be arresting people outside their areas by the sounds of it. Sad times

    This is disgrace all round (assuming all accurate - which it appears to be). I’ve got no issue with getting people you know involved if they can deliver, but if they don’t you/they have got to be held accountable The mixture of politicians cronies sticking their collective noses in the trough...

    England - Belgium

    I like Southgate but he’s so wedded to his formation even when the players needed for it aren’t available 5 defenders, 2DM, 2CM (playing as wide men in front three) and 1 CF....when we needed to win the game. Bizarre

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    To be fair to Cummings I’d keep Hancock away from any tv appearances as well !!! (The boycott was just churlish though) Ps rumours of a cabinet reshuffle in Jan with Hancock and Williamson potentially being moved/removed. Would be a wise !

    Yeah, agreed. I don’t like lumping everyone in together, there’s various different ‘antivax’ groups from the absolute nutjobs to the ‘unproven’ concerned people you mention, to people like me and a couple of a my mates. We’re wondering if the risk of Covid to us (we reckon we’ve all possibly had...

    I check the total hospitalised covid patients on PHE reports Fernando (appreciate it’s England only) to keep an eye on the net increase in patients each day. The average net increase is a lot less than the 1.5-2k daily admissions as many patients admitted to hospital are now coming out again a...

    Wonder if any of this is at least partially tied into the leak prior to second lockdown

    There was also 380k of tests yesterday and 23k confirmed cases. As Powis said today, don’t just look at single days in isolation, look at all of the data including that various sampling surveys (most of which are indicating the spread is slowing and R rate reducing...although there will always...

    yeah, a mate of mine thought he’d played it down too much...definitely not in my book. It doesn’t take much for the a chunk of the public to think ‘it’s all ok then’ which wouldn’t be ideal in the middle of a lockdown attempting to suppress transmission rates !!

    Its a pilot so wouldn’t expect it to go perfectly, however those numbers would make rates in Liverpool being c600-700 per 100,000. I also heard yesterday they were saying as a country it’s about 1 in 90, so it actually sounds like it might not be far off. Thats the problem with the media, they...

    100% Ian. Transmission and capacity in regions are what should be considered when implementing restrictions/measures Edit - as well as understanding the likely benefits of any restrictions/measures taken - this is the main bit which I think is missing !

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I don’t think anyone can doubt that. The questions as I’ve raised before are: Do you lock down areas of the country where there is relatively low spread at the same time as those with significant transmission rates and Do you close places/locations where you can’t confirm the benefits of doing...

    It’s the same as elsewhere Dave ie Germany, France etc...the bigger question for me (which I might well be on the wrong side of science on) is does a national lockdown deliver any more than the Tier system would’ve Either way fingers crossed Ps you’ve attached some great articles on the...

    I can’t bring myself to post on match thread (we’re holding our own but have got to cut up the sloppy errors and fast) so will just post some good news on here....especially as it’s amazing how many stop commenting on daily figures etc when they look like they’re improving - will take that...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Agree 100% with the sentiment NW but he can only be removed when counts are finished (or impossible for him to win) otherwise it will just add to his nutjob conspiracy ramblings. You were right yesterday when you said the release of the counts during the process has just given him...
