And only if sneezing in the supermarket is a euphemism

Yes I agree but you could catch it by unprotected sex, (the only feasible way human life can be sustained) without your partner knowing they were infected, and early on that meant a death sentence not a 7 to 9 in 10 chance of getting through it. I take your point though, about how each virus can...

HIV / AIDS was potentially worse than this, the only thing with that was that you had to exchange bodily fluids to transmit it, and it initially infected a much smaller social group. But it had an incredibly long incubation period, and early on the mortality rate was 100% or close to it. some of...

I don't think anyone knows with any reasonable accuracy, but I take some comfort from this. Somewhere in this thread someone posted a chart of most of the pandemics that have hit us throughout recent history. According to timelines and dates most of them seemed to run their course over a period...

I think the things done badly are based around presentation and clarity. Just my opinion

I think the government has handled the whole thing incredibly badly but I wouldn't have wanted the job they have had to do. I am an engineer by profession, (retired 20 years ago) and I know that you have to work to codes and standards written by the experts in the various fields. If you have...

The problem with this is, I think the so called scientific experts got it wrong. Politicians cannot be expected to be experts on everything and have to rely on experts on these kind of things. Patrick Vallance (herd immunity proposer) has been in post as Chief Scientific Adviser to the...

I have said all along that I don't think the season will be cancelled, long before the announcement by the FA / EFL / Premiership. I don't get why people think player contracts are an issue. The transfer window stays shut until the current season is completed, those players whose contracts end...

Surely a place for Stuart Pearce? would mean leaving Dublin out though

Don't forget the extra 20% would be subject to tax & NI

Effectively we have a 10 game mini season coming up, where everyone else plays either 9 or 8 games, and we have a 7 point lead over 3rd. We should be OK.

One possible positive is how long in reality a vaccine will take to become available. The timescale being talked about takes into account extensive testing and gaining approval to use it. But will all countries abide by the rules? or will some countries roll out a vaccine anyway in the next few...

I doubt very much that the club medical staff would let that happen

I assume you are under 40 - am I right? 0.18 mortality rate for under 40's (about the same as flu). Best of luck mate. Why Covid-19 is so dangerous for older adults

Trouble is, there are way too many people claiming to be experts on every subject immaginable. The BBC, ITV, Channels 4 & 5 all have a small army of so called experts repeating government advice either without understanding it themselves, or putting their own slant on things. Take the breifing...

Or a train coming the other way

I have thought all along that they won't void the season, and here is another reason. This virus looks certain to be with us until a vaccine is available widely. The thinking is, we could get it under control and it would then resurge, probably next winter. That could easily mean disruption to...

But none of us will be here in 2222

See! we don't need real football at all
