  1. Fair play by to you; it’s very commendable indeed. Not everyone does, or would, though.
  2. I saw a Tweet that said something along the lines of we should allow those out first who think the lockdown is having a negative effect or is not worthwhile (because the economy/people would have died anyway/the virus isn’t that bad/we need herd immunity). Let them be the first to be released so they can show everyone how sure they are about their beliefs.
  3. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/apr/16/exit-the-house-of-karrimor-enter-the-austere-and-unforgiving-house-of-saud Worth a read.
  4. Bloody Lorraine Kelly should just stick to daytime chat show hosting, stop asking dumb **** questions, and leave the hard hitting questions to proper journalists such as Laura Kuensb....oh, wait!
  5. EasyJet have got this really well conceived idea that if the middle seat is left empty then that should be fine. Erm, nah, you’re alright, thanks.
  6. **** me! She trying to lie with the evidence that she’s lying in front of her face.
  7. “Speak to that department it’s not our responsibility” “No sorry, not us either, you’ll need to speak to this department” “Sorry, we don’t do this here. Can you speak to this department?” “You again!? What did we tell you the first time” What a bunch of words removed.
  8. “Don’t worry, you can trust about things. We’re very trustworthy as our past record about things suggest” “What? We’ve lied about stuff in the past. Nah, never. And this? Well don’t worry, it’s fine. You can trust us” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/12/uk-government-using-confidential-patient-data-in-coronavirus-response
  9. Perhaps Bill Gates created it given he warned an effective virus could strike at anytime over five years ago!? The WHO have known for years that a disease X would cause a global pandemic and this could be it. Here’s a starting point: watch “Pandemic” on Netflix and you’ll find out how it can be so effective and definitely not man made.
  10. Don’t worry, it’s from a legit study https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/7/20-0282_article When it’s that high, I just can’t see how there won’t be more lockdowns/waves of infection given there’s no vaccine or feasible therapy.
  11. Hmm, whilst there’s nothing wrong with that article, I think comparing one country’s approach to the biggest shit show of a circus in Europe doesn’t achieve a great deal. Germany has done much better than our “I’ll continue to shake hands” buffoon, but, well, so has every country in Europe, it seems, but even one of Germany’s own top epidemiologists thinks more could have been done even in his country. https://sciencemediahub.eu/2020/03/25/prof-alexander-kekule-the-eu-needs-a-trustworthy-appointee-for-pandemics-and-an-epidemiological-expert-council/
  12. Boris wanted his jolly up at the rugby and that’s why Cheltenham was allowed to go ahead. He couldn’t cancel one and not the other. We’ve got a total “I’m alright Jack” (although he wasn’t in the end, silly word removed) crayon chomper for a PM.
  13. Yeah. Surely they can forget herd immunity as viable now if the R0 of this is as high as the new research suggests You’d need over 80% of the population to become infected to achieve herd immunity when the R0 is so high.
  14. Old Uncle Bill called it five years ago!
  15. There could be a lesson in all this for the future: don’t be so shit that you’re ever in the bottom three because if the season were to suddenly end because of a global pandemic, you’ll be relegated. If we hadn’t been so shit for almost three quarters of the season then we wouldn’t find ourselves in this position, but as it happens, here we are. If we get relegated then so be it.
  16. I’m watching Pandemic on Netflix. I wonder how many people are aware that in 2019, the Trump administration announced a 20% cut to the CDC’s budget. You couldn’t make the timing up!! (It’s really worth Googling the CDC if you don’t know what it is)
  17. Yeah they moved away from the laddish “bantaaa” ages ago when they got a new female CEO or head of content (someone senior anyway). Tit Tuesday and the rest of that sort of stuff is long gone. They get pelters for some of the content regularly in the comments (the old skool followers don’t think it’s laddish enough anymore), but even though they’ve tried to move away from their original intended audience, they still have over >2M followers (edit: >2m on Twitter and apparently over 35M on Facebook!!!) I assume they’re given credibility and allowed to attend these conferences due to the overall reach they have.
  18. I suppose it’s the fact it has no vaccination or feasible course of therapy that’s makes 5.7 feel somewhat unsettling. Whilst you’re correct about the R0 of Measles, it has a higher R0 but a lower mortality rate and there’s a vaccination for it.
  19. According to that tweet by Dan Rosenheck, the R0 of this could be as high as 5.7
  20. Indeed. I’d have thought we’d have enough by now/at this stage, but maybe that was an unrealistic expectation.
  21. Well explained mate and this would all make sense. If this is the case, I can imagine there would, indeed, be an emergency suspension clause and I can’t imagine such a gaping hole would exist in such an important & high value contract.
  22. Aside from PPE, we don’t have enough ventilators still and we’re having to source and fly them in from wherever we can get them (random locations). What other vital kit does the NHS not have enough!? Do they have enough of anything!?
  23. For anyone from a legal background: If the PL were to declare the seasons as finished and the table as final then what would our legal challenge be? On what grounds would a legal challenge be raised/would any challenge be supported by current law?
  24. Agree again. Omnia is probably the most expensive as it’s the newest club (fun fact: they opened a massive, brand spanking new one called KAOS @ The Palms, but it only lasted six months before closing down again due to massive losses. Some LV commentators think the night life scene is changing and people don’t want those types of venues any more). Same...we had to Uber it every time to the strip; it’s just a massive ball ache! (Did I mention, you should stay on the strip!?) Yep - expect queues at Egg Slut but it’s relatively cheap and worth it at least once.
