Surprised by this, think it’s a bargain (and was shocked to get one yesterday - not complaining). I know Wycombe and Luton fans, both paid full price in the hope of giving themselves the best chance of getting in if it’s reduced capacity

That Rachel Cunliffes correct mate

I agree with stricter local measures but another national lockdown....really ?! People couldn’t go about their lives during the lockdown, that was the issue (If we knew if/when a vaccine was coming I’d agree but surely they’ll just continue to be spikes until then, it’s managing them that will...

Probably four years to next election though NW (although wouldn’t shock me until Johnson left before end of his term). If you’re not the best then at least get as good a team around you as possible...that’s his major failing to date

It will most probably happen here though Dave, its a pandemic with no current vaccine. It’s what’s then done to manage nhs capacity, treat it etc etc that is probably the main focus. Ps if they don’t sort the track and trace app to go live in the next week or so as planned it will be another...

Haha, thought you might’ve read that Rebel Ideas by now and accepted or at least acknowledge some different/diverse views and thoughts. Maybe not Youre right though my views haven’t really changed much ie shield those most at risk and everyone low risk try to maintain as normal a life as...

yeah, that’s what I said 🙄

Not questioning there are rises but still need some context Fernando. I took a couple of pics from the gov numbers a few days back, for example on 6 Sept Patients in hospital (covid) 756 Patients on ventilators 69 Patients admitted 124 (although think this had been stuck for a few days)...

I stand corrected about PPE, shouldn’t have lumped it in (I only do it for the back handed ‘intelligent’ comments 😉). I think the testing set up was originally the responsibility PHE though (appreciate not standard remit but they were overseeing it) then wasn’t it moved after the initial...

That makes sense Dave. Think someone else mentioned antibody testing (sampling) previously.

Yeah, this was true Tony. From memory PHE apparently wanted to control everything centrally so were really slow to also involve uni and private labs. As I’ve said before ministers should rightly take flack for under performing departments but PHE were pretty shambolic at the start (PPE, testing...

Feels about right looking at the daily testing numbers in the past

If they’re running at lab capacity (anyone know what this is, I know it says 380k but that can’t be right for the labs ?) then there’s not a lot we can do for the time being. If we’re not, then Hancock and the lady running it need to go as it’s unacceptable. Hancock should just come out and...

Agree 100% Fernando and obviously steps should be taken to ensure we remain within capacity limits which is what I think is happening already, even though we are hopefully some way off. I think people have misinterpreted what I’m saying, I’m not saying let’s just ignore the uptick and hope the...

I think the actual case numbers are estimated anywhere around 3-4m. It will certainly not be anywhere near 10% death rate from the various studies around the world.

Understand. But the point remains the same Tony ie only a fraction of the population have got it. The sampling that’s carried out should provide a more accurate number Edit - just trying to bring some perspective and stop widespread panic !!

Did I say that ?!! I’m fully aware of ‘how bad it is’...I’ve not seen my mum since March (as she’s asthmatic and in her 70s) and my ex wife hasn’t been able to see her mum who nearly died from a stroke a few weeks ago because of Covid restrictions in hospital. I’m just saying the proportion of...

Im not saying it’s not increasing but it’s still a fraction of the population. I was just looking for the latest national sampling figures as that should give a reasonable indication, can’t see them at the moment and got some work to do. Will check

This is correct. I’m not sure how many tests were carried out last week but guessing around 1.2m and out of those only around 20k actually had it. Around 1.7% (of people who thought they had it have actually got it). Obviously there’s a stack of people who haven’t been able to be tested who...

Great half, 20 seconds aside ! Need Hamer to be careful second half (looks a player though !). Impressed, hope we can keep it up.
