lol- who is it then?

Chief medical and chief scientist officers

Sorry haven’t been able to follow the thread. Given that the virus may peak in 3 months what are the options for completing the season? 2 games a week will take 5 weeks and that would take us through the whole summer. How do people see this playing out?

Just been for my anti-corona vaccine. I'm meant to have a flashing chip in the back of my neck, right?

That's a normal club with there own ground, imagine 2 games a week at St Andrews for 5 weeks the pitch wouldn't last 2 weeks.

Let me know if it gives you special abilities.

I'm hoping, everyone stays where they are and promotion/relegation is based on current standings.

We are clearly the in form team, so even if they predict results, we should be top.

So the only option seems to be to freeze the table here?

I would take that , but I honestly don't know I just hope we get to finish the season one way or another, if the season gets scrapped I would be fuming

Googled what? What words have I fawned over exactly, other than to repeat the general thrust of their position which has been widely reported. Did you watch the press conference yesterday? I get their position, but as I have said repeatedly on this thread, I have no idea if it is the right call, and neither do you.
The issue I have is with the conspiratorial nonsense and with the suggestion that Cummings is the master puppeteer in all of this. I don't buy it for one second, but if you do, well fine, we'll leave it at that.

If you don’t agree that Cummings is the one making decisions then you’re beyond saving.

Chief medical and chief scientist officers

Telling lies?

 

[Kieranp96]

Poor Italy just reported another 250 deaths and 2. 5k cases, there taking a right battering from this virus hopefully we get nowhere near that stage otherwise it will be riots on the streets and everything.

Imagine how many are genuinely dead I’m Wuhan

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

It’s not the government

Kind of is. Ok, they are wheeling out experts and following their advice, but we don’t know what parameters those experts have been asked to work under. And before I get shot down I’m not claiming they are deliberately killing people, just that every country has a balance to strike between the economy and public health (the two are not mutually exclusive tbf). Other countries appear from some perspectives to be swinging more towards the public health aspect of this situation than we do.

Fine. If you think his influence and grip is that strong that he is personally steering the national response to a global pandemic and is coaxing high-respected scientists and doctors to tell lies, then I'd suggest you're beyond saving too. We're both doomed. But, happy to draw a line under it.

 

[steve cooper]

As an organisation that saved my life my experience of the NHS is its fucking brilliant. What was your experience?

Yes, I know several people, (and include myself in this) who, when their life has depended on the NHS have a view that it is one of the best health services in the world.

 

[Kieranp96]

Imagine how many are genuinely dead I’m Wuhan

I believe the stats are true enough, there's 2 strains and I thi k wuban and Italy have to deadliest strain where as most other places have the weaker but still deadly strain.

That would be perfect... would really piss of Sunderland again!

Probably make them suicidal knowing we went up like that and Jimmy's gigglingup above.

 

[Tommo1993]

If it’s too much for St Andrews to handle with rearranged Birmingham and Coventry fixtures, can’t we just have them away like we did when the Ricoh was delayed?

on the plus side, just had a text to say my Sky Blue lager will be here by Monday.

The piece in New Scientist today presents quite a balanced look at the UK position - with input from people on both sides of the argument: Why is the UK approach to coronavirus so different to other countries?

The opposing experts do seem to be basing their views on data from other countries. We'll see whe phe release their models

Times and Independent both reporting that it’s unlikely the season will be finished. Independent saying it may take as long as September to get it started back up again.

So be it. It'll a legal battle total if they don't finish it

If that’s the case then there’s going to be a huge amount of revenue lost for the top clubs. Can see some struggling to pay their wage bills

 

[Otis]

Chief sports reporter on 5 Live was saying he believes they won't just call the league as is and they won't just void it either.

He said that he believes they will finish this season at some point and that next season will be a reduced number of matches

He said he really cannot see anything other than that happening, because there will be all sorts of legal wrangles and claims of unfairness otherwise

If he's right, that's encouraging for us hopefully.

Did it say which Monday?

 

[Brylowes]

How much is it the media / social media escalating everything? People fucking fighting over toilet paper because of panic.

I’m not sure it is ‘after all it’s not the media implementing the stringent precautions being used.
International travel prohibited, Education systems shutting down, sporting calendars decimated, Global financial Markets crashing, Whole Country’s locking down ‘this isn’t all down to media hyperbole.
If anything ‘I’m beginning to think it’s potentially a hell of a lot worse than we are being told.

16th according to the ever reliable FEDEX.

Global markets are crashing due to volatility, Once that settles and the market finds a level it will be our best barometer of how we are doing, good or bad. Believe in nothing else.

3 notes per can! I'll have to stick to the skol for now
