Had a row with the Mrs about this this morning.

We moved in with her parents and younger brother 6 weeks back to save towards a mortgage instead of renting, and anyway, We've got a massive garden, so as the weather is class we were gonna do a mini barbecue.

Just us that live in the household..

She starts whinging about peoples 'opinions'and 'should we be doing it'

Far as I'm concerned we could have a fucking firework display in the garden as long as its just members of the household or am i talking shit? Started to make me doubt myself now.

The FT article shows Spain have attempted to estimate deaths outside the hospitals - no one will actually know the scale by country until well after this has ended

Oh I agree with you on that, I also think we will see a spike in deaths from non-Coronavirus related causes too due to a lack of resources and doctors having to prioritise some over others.

Do you know what's weird, I have set up on my Google calendar, all City's games, so I get a reminder when there is a game on.

I haven't been bothered to remove them from my calendar, so I always forget and then am surprised when I get the notification tone come through.

So strange them going off now with football shut down.

And that's why I posted it. And that's why I'll keep on posting it until the scaremongering stops. Some people on this thread should be ashamed of themselves.

Yup. Especially with healthy people dying too. If it were just the vulnerable, it would be the perfect approach. This seems very risky though.

I guess time will tell.

Not sure whether it is related or not, but I know a family of five all infected in Norway and they are just 10 mins walk from the Swedish border.

What's worrying about that is that the UK has a higher proportion of older people in care homes than Spain or Italy. That said, offset against the fact that we've got less intergenerational living

Matt Hancock threatening to ban outdoor exercise forgetting 2 key points.

1 he would have to recall parliament and convince them to amend the current emergency powers act

2 Such actions would never work as people would just flout it and when people are flouting such laws they are less likely to follow social distancing.

I've just had a look at the Welsh figures, South Wales around Newport is by far the worst effected place in the UK, Cardiff not far behind.

PFA claims players shouldn't take a wage cut or deferral as loss of tax income would be damaging for NHS.
Anyone believe high earners are paying full tax? Or that the charitable donations suggested won't be a tax write-off?

All professional players in the UK are PAYE on their main wages.

Also threatening to ban something is likely to tempt more people to do something before it is banned.

So threatening to ban going out for exercise on a baking ghost Sunday is fucking stupid
