No chance this will happen. No chance.

But the One X is 4K ?

I know words are cheap mate but .....please pass onto your missus my gratitude and admiration for her and her colleagues. And best wishes to you aswell, and ....when this is over, I hope if there’s something you need that’s within my ability to give, say the word. I mean that.

I’m sure we will contain it, and that will be wonderful. And once the Serious Infection rate is lower than the ICU Capacity we can all relax a bit. But in my view there’s still an enormous leap between that and business as usual. And that leap can only truly be achieved with a vaccine. For me, that means work and activities that need doing can recommence at the earlier of these two dates, but anything else, no way until the Second. It simply won’t be worth the risk. Imagine achieving control, then doing something that put us back here !! Not going to happen.

So for a clueless troglodyte like me who has the X box One X - what’s the main three reasons I’d want to immediately get this, if there are any ? Many thanks.

100% worth it

Agree wholeheartedly, I’m amazed it’s even up for debate.

Not up to speed with this thread...I hadn’t really realised the PL was still being debated if I’m honest. So without the benefit of whatever has been announced or debated I’d have to say Id be utterly amazed if anyone thinks football will reconvene this season. Not a chance in hell, ( in my opinion) and rightly so. What possible reason could there be for even contemplating it ? The Season is 100% over in my view, I can’t see a chance in a million that it’s not. Additionally I see next to no likelihood of next season starting in August. They will have to move it and scrap a lot of stuff. And even then, who in their right mind would attend football matches unless / until there is a vaccine ? From a personal point of view I’m going no further than my front doorstep until 2021 !

Please remember deaths today relate to infections from 5-14 days ago.....so there’s nothing surprising about the increase, it will increase dramatically for a week or so. The time anything can be learnt from the figures is after that.

Road traffic deaths and accidents almost vanished. Air pollution gone. I saw a report from China where it’s reckoned thousands of people who would’ve died from air pollution this year are alive due to the decrease in pollution.

Yes. For the most part it’s been wonderful. Of course we will read nasty cases in the paper...those assholes have always been there and won’t go away, and the papers can’t publish “ nothing nasty happened today in large parts of the UK”......but millions and millions ( billions even) are stoical, considerate, and kind where it’s possible.

Too right he’s a proper shady character is our Mark

If I were in Government I’d be telling non essential industries, “ we will bail you out but do the work we want, or provide staff for the work we want doing”........and I’d be telling - or asking, or incentivising, their staff the same. Unless we get lucky we will soon be in a position of having millions of healthy workers sat idle, being partly paid by the State, while the essential industries of Food, Health, Transport, Care, Utilities and Emergency Services could at times be up to 40% down in numbers. If it’s a War, they can consider conscription !

First time in several weeks I can go to bed thinking we are finally doing something, Thank God.

Surely that gives a huge unfair advantage to Blues as for them it’d be business as usual ?

Cheers mate thank you....I’m ok so far and with family around. Likewise though if there’s anything I can do ...

Me too I need someone local to do my shopping

I’ve no idea whether he actually said this or if it’s a spoof. Which kind of says it all .

Copied this as it is SO close to mine. ( which I doodled the other night ).. What’s the chances of two such similar “ favourites” over such a period ? Rimmer, Gidman, Staunton, McGrath, Evans, Rioch, Mortimer, Cowans, Jack, Little, Gray.....Subs : Cumbes, Phillips, Chico Hamilton, Morley, Graydon, Saunders, Willie Anderson Id forgotten Withers, great shout ! And your favourite ? I’m so torn as Bruce Rioch was my biggest hero, Little my favourite player, Mortimer the one I think had the biggest impact. So I guess it’s Sir Brian

The sooner the better.

Ah. Was fine the other day. Which may well soon become a catchphrase.

Sky’s website has a button to press which pauses Subscription Charges for Sports.

That’s what I thought how the hell do the Stereophonics get crowds like that ?

I don’t know if that was easy to follow so here’s an easy version. Lets say it takes 2 weeks to die once you have it. Then the deaths total we hear today is actually based on the number of cases 2 weeks ago ( which is significantly less).

I try to post either positive stuff or stuff about precautions but I thought I’d mention this...intake zero pleasure in it but some may want to know... ....on the one hand you could be right.....lack of tests = fewer people with the virus detected so the proportion dying is artificially high. As will people presenting few or no symptoms. That’s the good half. The bad half is the time lag between a case being flagged and a death. Eg....if the mortality rate was 8%.....and the time between diagnoses and death was 11 days....and cases increased at 100 a day the first ten days, then 200 a day next ten days, 300 next ten etc..etc.....( figures chosen for simplicity.) At present they are simply saying ‘X’ cases and ‘Y deaths. It doesn’t work. Day 1 - 100 cases known 0 deaths By Day 10 - say 1000 cases known 0 deaths. Day 11 - 1200 cases 8 deaths - rate doesn’t look “ too bad” ( 0.6%) Day 12 - 1400 cases, 16 deaths... .....by day 20, there will be 3000 known cases and 80 deaths. ( rate now 2.5%) By day 30 there would be 7000 cases and 240 deaths.. ( rate now 3.5%) So a better estimate would be : Number of deaths / Number of cases known at earlier time ‘x’ (where ‘x’ is days taken between contracting illness and dying) To put it another way with an extreme example. Imagine the time between getting the illness and dying from it was a Year. And it lasts just a year. And infected 1000 people per day. For a whole year from say January 1st the numbers of people with the disease would rise, but death rate would stay at zero. You would only start seeing deaths on January 1st Year 2. But even then you’d only see how many who got sick the previous January 1st had died. So if the mortality rate was 10% you’d have you’d still have 365,000 cases with just 100 dead. An apparent mortality rate of .02% But by the end of the year you’d have 365,000 cases with 36,500 dead, a mortality rate of 10%. The most recent paper from WHO suggests using statistical analysis of the bigger picture the mortality rate could be as high as 8%.......although bear in mind that’s in respect of known cases, which is where the first comment that the figures could be artificially high due to lack of testing/ asymptomatic kick in).
