Shayne Bradley.

Kevin Gibbens.

Edit: I knew I should have checked.

Belt up and start guessing. Ian Andrews.

Total deaths (all locations) graph now looking like the UK striking out on own vs France/Spain/Italy. This is literally the truth catching up with the government.

Back in business today. Absolute fox.

It's odd they made such a thing of that: I'm no expert but latex gloves like that come in boxes like tissue boxes right? They're not all nicely paired up like they would be in the clothing section of a garden centre.

Bravo. I didn't even know he played in the Netherlands.

Getting fed up with the journalists asking the same questions over and over again in these pressconferences. And not in a "persistantly holding the government to account" way, but in a "I don't really understand this topic" kind of way.

Did Barry Venison have long locks for us? He certainly had "roles" as a midfielder and full back.

Woah. I'm just pleased I've achieved something today.

Belmadi?

So a meaningless phrase, then. Thanks.

You've made reference to "lockdown lite" so what is it you think we should have done?

I'm not sure who has said the pubs will be open in June, that doesn't feel particularly likely to me. Germany haven't got where they have with a stricter lockdown than us. They had a better plan and a much bigger and better diagnostics and testing industry in their own country. This utter horsesh it fantasising about everyone being on house arrest is totally counterproductive and utterly hysterical. We aren't going to get cases down to zero and we'd be mad to try.

No they don't and they will not be tightened any further. It's going to be hard enough to keep things at this level for another two weeks or so. The government are planning the next stages and they don't involve tightening anything up. They will involve more testing/track-and-trace and isolation alongside a phased return by business type/personal risk. Collectively there will be a readiness to start opening up, and there will be a collective wariness in the population which, alongside some clear guidelines, should allow life to move back to something closer to normality.

That's just the kind of thing a Nazi would say.

In the next few weeks plenty of businesses will reopen, including things like hairdressers. So the policies are obviously about to change. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Well, we'll see. I find it highly implausible that no professional football will be played anywhere until we have a vaccine some time in 2021. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

But we are not 18 months away from a professional football match being played. You could put on a televised Premier League match with fewer people than are in a branch of Asda this morning. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Trump has said he didn't really say that stuff about disinfectant he was just being sarcastic to make a joke at journalists. Luckily for him, useful idiot worshippers like our Guided Missile will lap it up without question. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I'm more of a Dame Angela McLean man. Ding dong. #pressconferencehotties

This thread is in desperate need of Guided Missile to turn up with a long post replete with links and quotes on a totally unconnected subject, say China or the WHO or someone who once met Hillary Clinton. For gods sake someone give us a diversion to allow him to pretend that Trump isn't a dangerous, lying idiot. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I said to the missus when it was announced yesterday at the press conference that "that system will crash by 9am tomorrow". All too predictable Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Think you're correct, and maybe this roll out of testing is politically motivated more than actually being massively useful at this point in the journey. Really we should be testing everyone that works in every care home regardless of symptoms as part of a track, isolate and trace plan. Might actually save lives in a very immediate way. Not self selecting those with symptoms. Either way, the actually useful test is the "have you had it/are you immune" which allows people to get back to work with confidence.
