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.

If it's just the people in your household I don't see that you are breaking any rulrs

Some idiot Street down from us decided to have a birthday party last night. Let off fireworks, 3 police cars on the spot in about 5 minutes. Hope he's got deep pockets!!

No, you're right. It's a good thing to do as it helps reduce any urge to go out anyway.

That may be true but the accuracy of our own figures isn't guaranteed either

The FT article won’t link but these illustrate the issue

Italy’s Coronavirus Death Toll Is Far Higher Than Reported

Italy coronavirus: More than 60 residents of an elder care home died in a month - CNN

Sadly it is going to be the same in every country.

 

[dazed&confused]

Sadly it is going to be the same in every country.

We're all going to die.

 

[Grendel]

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

 

[Skybluefaz]

We're all going to die.

This is an undeniable fact

 

[Sick Boy]

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.

Ferguson on the Marr show now

Is he talking about 7 minutes of added time?

 

[Philosoraptor]

We're all going to die.

This is definetly the most accurate thing with what's been said on the thread.

 

[Philosoraptor]

Great to see Keir Starmer - voice of the people, going behind a paywall to get Labour's message out about Covid19.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Exit strategy to be formulated next week then.....wonder what plan they will make

 

[Otis]

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.

 

[dazed&confused]

This is definetly the most accurate thing with what's been said on the thread.

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.

How does everyone think the Sweden approach will go?

They're assembling the virus by themselves?

Behind another paywall.

He's given various I interviews to various different paper.

 

[Otis]

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 other papers has he wrote in?

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.

What’s the penalty for flouting the rules there now?

Fines mostly buf most people don't understand that legally the police can only enforcement what is in the emergency powers act not what a minister no matter how senior says on tv.

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.

And what are you? One more scaremonger? Or are you just an apologist for the other scaremongers on here?

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.

Thousands of people are dead, watch this and talk about scaremongering:
