For anyone that is unsure if they’ve had the flu, the answer is no. You would know if you had.

I didn't have it confirmed but reckon I've had it once, and remember it being the worst I've ever felt over the space of two weeks, one of those where it goes on so long you start to think 'this is my life now'

Compared to that, everything else has been mild sniffles

Just for Grendel, here is another, more sophisticated version of the same graph showing the path we are on. This one is from John Hopkins University & the FT. We are all - in the West at least - on the same path. Not sure we will get games after Lincoln....

No it doesn't. The scale is horrendous and looks to be designed to make the UK's situation worse. With equal spacing on the y access you wouldn't even be able to see italy.

Also the article does not even try to argue the tweets point.

Let us look at the actual data

Nah just some wallopers online who seem to believe the government is lying and we're all going to die.

Reality is most people are panicky yet aren't blase.

It shows that the data and date start when 100 cases have been diagnosed and shows we have less positive tests than Italy at this point. It does seem we can’t trust any of the data though

Running joke about how someone said they’d like to see Giles given a go and cc4l lost his shit saying anyone who doesn’t want to play McCallum for every second of every match is a loser who gets their football knowledge from video games.

What dip in form ? Did we lose any games ? Did we let many goals in ? Didn’t he score a couple and set one or two up ?

cc84cov was one of the ones calling for a taxi for Robins back in December, every game he hurls abuse at Robins for "not making changes", he's put the boot into numerous players and the only common thread to all the outpourings of armchair expertise are that they have all, without exception, been proved to be wrong.

The rate of increase is critical in calculating how much of the population will be affected. Angela Merkel has mentioned a figure of 70% but this is predecated on a daily increase of 33% with no flatening out, this number would be hit in roughly 40 days from now. If we take yesterday's increase in the UK of 22%, then the infection rate only reaches just over 2% in 40 days and difference of 50m people or conservatively 500K deaths!

Obviously this all depends on the actual profile of the spread once untested people are included and containment actions are followed.

That's still within the expected parameters of the containment stage.

I think it’s just a fudge so they can compare countries with different rates of infection.

Can you back up the taxi for Robins comments please ?

Your right on changes would liked them a lot sooner in games pretty common on here with posters wouldn’t say I ”hurl” abuse but again would love to see that backed up ? Let’s see if you actually back up your comments or will you make yourself look a idiot here again like last time you tried to quote me and got made to look silly ?

Can you compare country to country anyway? The figures will really be the minimum number of cases and as each country has different levels of testing you aren't comparing like with like.

Was just chatting to a bloke in the post office and he said his mate who is a Wasps season ticket holder was bragging that the council and Wasps have colluded to make up a story about a virus to stop us from winning the league.
