Its just the same with the state of Sky News and BBC News - they will show you footage of someone in a hospital bed in Italy making us panic and fear that the whole of the countries hospitals are full of ill and dying people

To be fair was in Asda 1930ish Monday night ...no toilet roll.....no pasta.....very few tins of peas/potatoes
Good memory you've got mate. But to be fair, in the 1930's I Don't think pasta was that popular. And the other stuff was probably rationed

I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

Nope. As the Bank of England has admitted, governments using their own fiat currency like the UK with Sterling don't tax and spend, they spend and then tax.
£400+ billion was spent into existence to keep the banks afloat during the financial crisis. The UK government (and other governments around the world) need to create and spend as much money as is required to stop another catastrophic crash. Even the Tories must realise that There Is No Alternative in the event of a major pandemic or serious epidemic.
Don’t talk sense. We know what’s possible. But admitting that would mean there’d wouldn’t be an excuse to not do the right thing.

As usual you like to quote something but miss out the real data around your point that paints a true picture of what is really happening, stop adding to the panic and scaremongering. You did this all the time with Brexit and the sky hasn't fallen in has it.
CV19 has a kill rate of 2% of people confirmed with the virus, Factamundo.
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) had a case fatality rate of around 10% and
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) killed 34% of people with the virus, this is from the BMJ, all aboard the panic train choo choo.
More people have been exposed to CV19 than SARS and MERS combined and with over billion people living in China CV19 death rate compared to the other two is rookie numbers. There is a reasonable explanation as to why it has killed more, a simple fact that more people have been exposed to it.
This is not the pandemic it is made out to be, is it bad and potentially deadly yes, is it the Spanish Flu or Black plague, no. Is there need to panic buy and clear the shops out of toilet roll and hand wash no.
The vulnerable in society need the items people a clearing the shelves for and people like you are just fueling their panic with your nonsense. I went to ASDA's today with the missus, an elderly lady couldn't believe there was no toilet roll or kitchen rolls left. This panic isn't justified, like I said in another post Heart disease is the biggest killer in this country, where is the hysteria with that. I bought myself a bottle of Tom Woods rum 57%, now this will kill any virus it comes across, cheers.
You’ve failed to notice that Brexit hasn’t happened in anything but name yet. We are still in it in effect until December 31. So whether you’re Leave or Remain that’s a very poor example to use to try to undermine someone’s credibility. It only undermines your own credibility.

It will hurt the club if games are played behind closed doors or crowds are down because of fears of illness. Might see crowd funding for some smaller sides.

If they wanted to put the games behind closed doors they could at least offer iFollow for the all the games for UK customers.
Free access to Ifollow matches for season ticket holders and a small fee for non season ticket holders?

That is true and the CV19 virus has already mutated into two strains L & S type strains, the L type strain which is the more aggressive strain which caused most of the deaths has decreased since early January. The common type found now is the older less aggressive type S. People identified with type L were quarantined so stopping the spread of type L. Not all mutations in a virus are beneficial to it and can often limit it's ability to survive.
Influenza - During a typical flu season, up to 500,000 people worldwide will die from the illness, according to WHO. But occasionally, when a new flu strain emerges, a pandemic results with a faster spread of disease and, often, higher mortality rates.
The most deadly flu pandemic, sometimes called the Spanish flu, began in 1918 and sickened up to 40% of the world's population, killing an estimated 50 million people.
In the UK, the death toll rose to five people who tested positive for coronavirus out of 319 (1.5%).
The first, announced on Thursday, was a woman in her 70s with underlying health conditions.
An 83-year-old man became the UK’s second fatality on Saturday. He also had underlying health problems.
The third person was a man in his 60s and a fourth death was confirmed late on Monday.
The fourth death, confirmed on Monday, was a patient in their early 70s with significant and long-term health conditions who passed away at St Helier Hospital.
Earlier on Monday another patient in their 70s died from the virus. He was also suffering from underlying health conditions and was being treated in Royal Wolverhampton Hospital.
The government has today released an update on the number of UK people diagnosed with coronavirus (Covid-19).
As many as 24,906 people have been tested in the UK, of which 319 were confirmed positive.
I heard this on the radio.... I didn't think the Channel Islands were part of the United Kingdom but then when I checked I found out it's Epsom, Surrey and not Jersey
