I don't disagree with that. The issue though is that there are anomalies. I only know 2 people with long Covid. One mid/late 40's and the other 50. Both in good shape pre Covid. The first is left with arthritis and her latest fb update says: "As we go into the 2nd lockdown I can't help but post my thoughts & feelings whether you appreciate them or not. This photo is me a few days ago. I'm happy, healthy and content and back doing the job I love. As you can see I'm wearing a wrist brace on the advice of my consultant at SGH as I had an appointment a few weeks back and it was confirmed that I have nerve damage in 2 nerves in my wrist due to the secondary infections I suffered as a result of Covid-19. I am currently awaiting an appointment for tteatment in both nerves in my wrist so I can then come off these terrible tablets I take daily in order to stay pain free. Let me be a lesson to you all. The virus is real. The virus doesn't care if you are healthy or not. The virus can cause irreversible damage. Wash your hands. Wear a mask and be mindful of your surroundings. Stay safe...🖤" The second bloke is left with diabetes. I don't want number 3.

Covid has either 1. no symptoms, 2.mild symptoms, 3. bad symptoms with complications, or 4. it kills. It's that simple. Dinlo's assume that 1 or 2 are as bad as it gets, unless you're really unlucky and you die. The sad reality is that many people end up with number 3. I know such people. Sure, it's live or die, but it's what you may have to live with if you live.

Behave. We have no right to know anything. There's clearly something not right, hence the press embargo, but we have no right to know what that is just because we're "customers".

Seems that way. The fact that there is a press embargo suggests something personal or legal. In any event, it's not our business. Hopefully Salisu is ok and he'll get to play at some point soon.

I'd stop worrying completely. When you've figured out how worrying is going to help us score goals, let us know.

You mean Arizona and Nevada? I think that'd make it 270 each assuming mad Don gets the rest. Guiliani's rant was hilariously desperate.

You tell them Del. It ain't ideal but it is what it is. Walcott playing up top with big Che will see us through.

Yep, that's how I see it. He looks to be too far behind in PA so it's looking like a Trump victory.

These days, why does it matter if its a boy or a girl?

I agree with that. For me, the main difference is that he's found a position and grown into it. In the past he's been played out wide where he hasn't had the pace, played inside where he's not been strong / tenacious enough, or as a 10 which isn't really his position. Ralph has shown faith in him in the middle, given him consistent games there and he's become one hell of a player.

Track and trace, masks, hundreds of ecmo machines, a compliant population have helped. Easy to see why we're in a mess in comparison.

700 I think. Its a Hampshire cup game rather than a friendly

Lazy choice of words from me, but focusing on either dying or living but with an assumed full recovery misses the point of what some people have to live with post covid. If, for example, the death rate is 1%, that does not mean that 99% make a full recovery. My point at it's simplest is that we need to understand what we may have to live with.

He hasn't played yet. We have a game at Eastleigh today though. I'd hazard a guess that he'll play, and that the game was arranged for him to get game time.

Yep, nuts. Gyms I've been in have loads of space and are safe environments. Even more ridiculous is closing things like outdoor boot camps. How things like that, or a couple of blokes playing golf outside, is deemed a Covid risk is beyond me.

That's Bertrand out until at least the other side of the international break probably then. Vokins is the logical option, although KWP moving over and Valery coming in is another option.

I agree, but if Bednarek out I'd expect to see him on the bench at least. In fact, I suspect he'll play in tomorrow's match at Eastleigh...my guess is that it's been arranged to give him some game time.

...he got dropped from the side.

Rising

It's staggering that 9 months or so into this that there are people who still view the effects of Covid as living or dying. Don't have an opinion when you're plainly don't understand the subject.

Victoria

I'm not with you on the science against statistics point. Waiting on stats for how things have gone elsewhere means sitting around and reacting after the event. That's dangerous so all we have is the scientific advice. That advice was for a short lockdown weeks ago. Whether doing that would have meant a shorter lockdown than we're gonna get we'll never know, but I suspect that delaying the inevitable has doubled the pain.
