I went to the Theatre in Nottingham tonight and absolutely no Covid checks on the door or anywhere. Which for a dystopian "papers please" police state just-like-Nazi-Germany which we apparently are now, it seemed a bit lax.

I thought they were gaining the mass extermination of the global population? Pretty big win, right?

Indeed. "Why doesn't someone give us all the information" says someone who couldn't possibly cope with anything remotely approaching "all the information".

I got bored after he said "we've got to stop giving people half-truths to scare people" before then both of them proceeding to dish out a load of half truths (or worse) to scare people.

Nice to see a victory against the old Westminster establishment. Hardly a fatal blow but a big blow nevertheless to Boris and his old guard.

More realistically Covid causing BBC (or someone from the Press Association) to incorrectly type in a number. It won't have been 13k, they probably twice that many as that as season ticket holders alone.

The good news is there is no way they will ever report 1m cases a day. There simply is not the testing capacity to achieve that level of processing and reporting.

Not a bad game-in-hand to have in our back pocket. Although to be fair there are games dropping like flies so probably not much of an advantage now.

I would think the government would prefer the games to go ahead. A weekend of cancelled Prem games is an incredibly high profile indicator that we are in lockdown in all but name. Which exactly the kind of message that the government is trying to wriggle out of (because they don't want to start forking out furlough money or admitting the scale of the issue).

Boxing Day the cases will still be going up. Brentford not playing Chelsea on Tuesday isn't really going to impact that either way.

Thomas Frank took one look at us last night and now running scared

With your going-in hypothesis being what? When you are talking about the vast majority of all adults in the country being vaccinated an "all cause" mortality report is not going to give you what you think it is going to give you. You might as well do a "all cause" mortality report based on whether or not people own a black pullover across the population. You've taken a report that is fundamentally about the effectiveness of the vaccine and decided to pick out threads of "raw data" to try and show a different story by presenting the data out of context. I feel like you are just a slightly more articulate SalmonSi.

Do you agree with the conclusions of the report you linked to?

I don't really understand what point you are trying to make. You've linked to a report that concludes unequivocally that the vaccination program is highly effective/offering high levels of protection from serious disease and death. What's the "misinformation"?

Just hit it nipper

Shane Long is coming on so that means goals goals goals.

I'm sure we can ride this out just fine.

Feels likely that we will just lose 4-2 anyway, but at least it's been fun.

This is a tactical masterclass from Ralph.

THATS WHY HE SHOULD OF PLAYD EVERY GAME OF THE EUROS FFS

I don't know anything about tactics and that, so to me eyes we look fucking shit. So I am looking forward to the geniuses on here telling me how this is an absolute masterclass from Ralph.

Dean Smith could be the first Prem manager to lose 5 in a row for two different clubs in the same season. And he might even achieve that before Christmas. Already on 3 on the spin, with away at WHU and home to Arsenal to come. I think he was absolutely mad to jump straight back in with a team that were pretty certain go down anyway.

We want 10

When this place becomes a forum about the Cincinatti Pretzels in the Conference National (Western) then we'll accept that spelling, along with color, tire, airplane and 500 mass shooting events a year.
