    Well we’re opening sport and letting vulnerable people out so according to the government system we’ve got a vaccine and it’s all over? Nobody knows WTF is going on.

    Transfer rumours (isn't it nice to talk about football!)

    I think Masons better in a back four than as a wingback TBH.

    Are you happy

    Don’t be silly mate. You can’t compare situations, everything’s relative to you. Kids are tough, just got to make the most of the time you have with them and everything else will fall into place is what I’ve learned. Hope you get on the upswing again soon.

    Looking at this we’ve had a second peak already, when others have only had one (bar maybe France), the question now will we have a third? I wonder if the second peak was care homes. Start sending people out of hospital and two weeks later we have a seemingly equal curve starting.

    George Floyd

    Same thing that makes us hate Sunderland/Villa/Leicester at its heart innit. My tribe vs your tribe bollocks. I think so much is down to not having interacted enough. You can tell because once they know one minority person it’s “oh he’s one of the good ones”. Surely before long you can’t...

    George Floyd

    Not much different to the original climate then. There needs to be a movement people can join with spokesmen that can distance the movement from the looting and violence and put across clear demands. The rioting may be a symptom of unmet needs previously but it won’t be what forces political...

    George Floyd

    Yep. It’s fuck all to do with social justice. Just people wanting to smash shit up. Same as the London riots in 2011 after the first day. An MLK type figure is desperately needed to give those who want to protest a lightning rod around which to do it while exposing those who just want to riot.

    I don’t criticise the country. I think it’s one of if not the best in the world. The government of said country is a whole other matter though.

    George Floyd

    Is it me or is there something funny about that video? The plank breaking off seemingly nothing, just looks weird. Maybe I’ve spent too much time online. Edit: definitely the latter. Found the same incident from another angle that makes sense.

    There’s two things here: - When precisely did the first case arrive in the U.K.? - What is the shape and time scale of the first major outbreak here? People are conflating the first with the second to give credence to their conspiracy theories. A small outbreak a week or two before what we...

    So our handling of the pandemic is the fault of the Chinese? That’s why we’re so much worse than comparable nations? Nothing to do with us? Loads of countries have handled this without killing tens of thousands of their own citizens. The spread may have come from Chinese obscurity at the start...

    Never your fault on the right is it? Always Europe, or Muslims, or refugees, or single mothers, or the Chinese. Party of personal responsibility my arse.

    George Floyd

    Some of the shit I’ve heard out loud the last few years shocks me. I remember not really witnessing racism as a small kid, went to Hearsall and had lots of Asian mates (don’t think there were any black kids at all), then when I went to Alderman Callow for secondary being shocked by the stuff...

    Better to have a vaccine and not need it than need one and not have it I guess. Don’t know if the relatively long incubation period affects mutation though. If you’re going around passing it on asymptomatically for a while, what difference if you die or not? Interesting question. I’d guess...

    Right? Basic evolution though surely. Mutations will be random but more deadly strains will kill quicker and be passed on less, more mild strains more likely to be passed around and continue.

    Not a virologist but don’t they usually mutate to be less lethal so their hosts stick around and infect more people?
