It is sitting on the middle ground and ends up pleasing nobody (some want total freedom and fuck everyone else, others want a full blown lockdown) but other than the lack of coherent messaging some of the staged measures are sensible. Not sure people are following (most just ignoring) which is...

I’d just googled and seen that hospital fatality rate was down to 1.5% in June (maybe misunderstood though - Declining death rate from COVID-19 in hospitals in England - CEBM) Either way i know that there have been significant treatment improvements in recent months so fingers crossed it’s...

The interesting thing is the 200 deaths per day. I need to review the info and see what they think will be hospital admissions. 50k cases per day is what will grab the headlines As alluded to on here, it’s ground work for Johnson announcing further restrictions this week

Exactly and as I say, I would take what others are doing well and replicate but comparing us to South Korea is crazy Ps the Dido/Hancock double act deserves plenty of shit so won’t be defending

Yeah, Sweden only gets talked about when things are looking shit there. They will probably have another spike at some point and then it will be all you hear about. As I’ve said before though country comparisons are tricky:misleading. I think Sweden’s rate is probably easier to control due to...

Latest I can find... 1081 hospitalised as at 17/9 138 on ventilators as at 18/9

Hes a c**t. Do your job Hancock and we’ll do ours !

Really interesting article Dave. The viral load discussion has been going on for a while now and I’m no scientist but it seems to make logical sense ‘And even if some viral particles do get through, the viral dose will still be much smaller, so the person will be less likely to get seriously...

Wondered what you were talking about for a minute SBD

Think he’d possibly be more useful from the bench. Quite like him as a player but not quite sure of him with Ohare. Be interested to see Shipley further up and Sheaf/Kelly alongside Hamer

Great win last night. Really had to hang in there first half (and probably didn’t deserve to be level at HT). Having said that for all QPRs possession (they knocked it about well first half) we kept them at a distance. Second half was impressive, great character and a couple of little bits of...

I think there is a plan NW, when there’s a local spike, try staged measures to get it down, with schools last on list. whether they (ministers/top civil servants) have the tools (trace and track app sorted ? and testing capacity ?) skills, and intellect to deliver this I very much doubt !

Either way it’s certainly not going to be hugely different. As I’ve said I think our number will increase again as last few days tests have picked up. Doesn’t mean that this mess doesn’t need sorting out as capacity isn’t obviously enough for what we need (whatever other countries failings are)...

Fair point, I’m just saying that during the original lockdown most people obeyed the not meeting/mixing households rule, I don’t see it happening again

I’m guessing that people will still meet up NW. I’ve got a fair few intelligent(ish) mates and people are done. They will still wear masks, wash hands etc but I don’t think many/any would adhere fully to another full lockdown lockdown measures I know some on here prefer if I didn’t add...

There’s stuff on the surveillance reports around contract tracing contacts (likely close contact) but it’s not 100%. Ps I’d imagine though as the spread increases so does the risks in busier/confined external places as you’d be around more people who are likely to have it thereby increasing...

Of course in terms of own households but visitors to people’s homes is still believed to be the highest risk of contagion (makes sense when you think of how much external places are cleaned, sprayed, masks being worn in shops, confined spaces etc). How often do people social distance around...

It sounds like (and I’m guessing and taking some bits from what I’ve read/heard), that next it will be pubs closing earlier/curfews. The highest risk of contagion still appears household related, when other areas start catching up they’ll have to start closing them. I’ve said before though, my...

Sweden’s a funny one. I’ve seen some comments (from inside and out) thinking they fucked up, others not. Nobody will know until you look back in years to come and see the deaths/illnesses over the period of the whole outbreak and the impact of lockdowns (on economy, schooling and other...

If you have any trustworthy mates, sell your ifollow sub details at a discount and buy the membership plus tick (probably not strictly legal but 🤷‍♂️). Guessing you’ll need to register the new ifollow one under different email address
