Because 11 months ago I went from my permanent contract of 9 years to a fixed term 12 month contract covering my old bosses maternity leave. Technically I've just come to the end of that contract and they're not renewing.

Unless anyone knows differently. Employment law not my strong point...

But he is, he’s strongly criticised the Italian government and also the U.K. government, what actual point is being made here?

No he hasn’t and my point is obvious - the whole of Europe is flailing around without a clue and all you do is obsess about this country and make bizarre accusations

Im not lapping you anything is the obvious cover up of deaths in Italy made up or not, it’s clearly not.

Italy has worsening PPE supply, more medical staff dying, bizarre cover ups on death statistics and which if it was exposed as this uk government doing it you’d be over it like a rash

Hahaha you are clueless.
We have had PPE delivered including masks and gloves.
You have zero credibility on what’s going on here.

Ive just linked articles regarding lack of PPE - how many nurses and carers have died so far in Italy due to the virus

Also if I don’t have a clue then you and ROS I assume do not have a clue what’s happening in the UK do you?

Yeah and I’d rather go by events that have happened here since the article was published. If the civil protection agency can hand them out to residences then I expect that the people working in the medical sector here that I know aren’t involved in this mass cover up and telling lies either.

As i said, the government’s response here was bad but it has been managed much better in recent weeks.

As weirdly fascinating as it is to watch someone have such a big meltdown because they want to prove that someone else’s country is inferior, I’m off on the bike to the off license. Thank god that week is over.

After talking a bit about Johnson in isolaton yesterday I was wondering what he'd do when that isolation period ended and had a suspicion he'd somehow find a way to remain in it for longer. Suspicions proven.

So given that I thought we could have a quick game of an old family favouite

It’s fascinating that someone seems to have perverse enjoyment in scaremongering and misinformation and has posted more on this than anything else on a football forum m

More than 1 in 10 of their diagnosed cases, Britain is currently 10.5% of diagnosed cases or 1 in 9.5.

Using diagnosed cases as the denominator, the UK is just about doing the worst in the world for growth in cases and deaths at the moment

lol, scared of the boys and awestruck at the girls, who were very ‘different’ to what they were used to. All a bit isolated from the real world, they were friends I guess but only cause they’re who I went to school with.

A fair few of them became wasps fans when they pitched up in town, never spoke to them again after that.

Think we all know this is to do with limited testing though (everyone with symptoms has been asked the stay at home and self isolate, remaining untested unless it significantly worsens) The mortality rates around the world will all drop significantly once the true case numbers are calculated. Ive always thought the key for us is remaining under the critical care bed capacity, breaching this would indicate some lives could’ve been saved that weren’t. Fingers crossed we don’t come to this, or if it does happen it’s relatively few, isolated cases

It's complex .
The original cruise in Japan has 1.7% mortality in what would be assumed a demographic weighted to be prone to severe symptoms.but luckily in healthcare that has not been swamped.
Sixty cases still to be resolved there .
South Korea similarly running around 1.7% of identified cases, which you would believe is an accurate handle.

Oh I can answer this one.

See first the 5G makes you ill then Bill Gates forces you to have a vaccine which is actually an RFID chip that allows them to control your thoughts.

And God I wish I’d just made that up to be funny.

Actually despite being a rugger nutter good old Bob Coward used to make sure we had time to get to HR on Saturdays and even arranged games for Friday afternoons so we could go to some away games.
As for the rules it’s almost a different game nowadays with its rule changes.
