4 Colchester players tested positive. 7 in league 2 altogether.
Does that mean they have the virus now or have had it ?4 Colchester players tested positive. 7 in league 2 altogether.
I suspect it would be the antigen test as antibody tests are not routine I.e. they have an active infection.Does that mean they have the virus now or have had it ?
All tests on football participants are to check whether they have the virus at the momentDoes that mean they have the virus now or have had it ?
point me to the stats on that please.So far it’s around 90% death rate in the 65+ age group. Below 45 it’s about 1%. Obviously still a risk but the much bigger risk is for spectators and staff.

Don’t think that is correctSo far it’s around 90% death rate in the 65+ age group. Below 45 it’s about 1%. Obviously still a risk but the much bigger risk is for spectators and staff.
It’s very nasty for fit and active at any age just not fatalAll tests on football participants are to check whether they have the virus at the moment
The purpose is to stop them spreading it among others at their clubs or opponents once games start
As well as the relatively low number of positives it's interesting that most of the positives have been asymptomatic and the individuals involved say they are shocked and feel absolutely fine
Not enough is known about this virus but it's becoming more and more apparent that it's not particularly dangerous for young and fit people - even men who I believe represent about 70% of those needing admission to hospital
Don’t think that is correct
It's nowhere near that figure.So far it’s around 90% death rate in the 65+ age group. Below 45 it’s about 1%. Obviously still a risk but the much bigger risk is for spectators and staff.

Bollocks. Not even close.
It's the wording you used. You said 90% death rate for over 65s, which would be horrifying. I think what you meant is that 90% of deaths have been over 65s.
Sorry. When we were talking about the virus I thought it would be obvious that I was talking about age groups passing from the virus. My English A level has been wasted.Yes it’s a terminology thing
Anyway, still an extremely low rate for the under 45s.
Have they forgotten about league 1 or something?
Im on about the vote on ensing season or notFrom sky sports news.. there’s no testing in league one as of yet (if that is what you are getting at).

Haven't looked at the exact figure, but suspect that if you said 90% of the deaths are people aged above 65, rather than 90% of people aged above 65 with cov-id die, you'd have a more accurate statement. Two very different statements!
What has it got to do with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs? Idle curiosityHMRC have indicated that players can train while furloughed but not in organised groups
Interestingly, I read that of the 17 cases not one was experiencing any symptoms at all. It may be that they all caught it very recently and symptoms have not developed yet, but it may also be part of the evidence needed to justify the claim that 4 out of every 5 cases are asymptomatic.apologies if already posted:
The Championship has decided to play on so they are testing all clubsHave they forgotten about league 1 or something?
Have the championship decided to play on?! I must have missed that...or already forgotten.The Championship has decided to play on so they are testing all clubs
L2 has decided to end on ppg so they're only testing the play off teams
L1 hasn't decided what to do yet so they won't waste money on testing until they know whether it's all or just the play off clubs who need tests
