Other countries have taken more serious actions earlier to try an deal with it. Why haven’t we?

It’s nice that you apparently have confidence in our leader. It would seem that the majority of the country don’t agree with you.

In a recent poll only 36% trust in what Johnson says and is doing about the situation. This is not about playing politics. This is about competency.

Johnson, like Trump, spits out glib throwaway lines when dealing with major issues in the hope that people will think they have things under control. They clearly don’t.

He managed to slip in “Let’s get Bewdley” done when visiting flooded areas.

As tough as it is for the likes of Liverpool, Leeds and WBA, I really don’t see how how anything can be based on an incomplete season. If you don’t cancel the season there is no fair way to sort out promotions or relegations. The League Cup should stand as the competition ran to completion.

Has Johnson said “Let’s get Covid-19 done” yet?

I can’t see most of the Premier League clubs being happy with 5 going down in one season. Perhaps two lots of four. Tough on clubs like Fulham. What happens with promotions in lower leagues?

London, Leicester and Birmingham and all victims apparently in the “at risk” group.

Probably. Swine Flu is still around isn’t it?

He obviously realised that is a likelihood. But hey, keep the digs coming.

Karen Brady in favour of voiding the season. What a surprise. To be fair to Klopp, he had also come out and said that health is more important than football.

The guy I work for who is 72 went to the Philippines for Christmas and can back with a dry cough and flu like symptoms. It went on for a few weeks before he got better. Makes you wonder! Just saw the front page of the Mail. No surprise there after what they are doing with us oldies in Italy. 66 years old with a heart condition. I guess I won’t make it through triage. Happy days. Meant to be seeing some old school friends in Oxford in a couple of weeks but that trip has just been cancelled. The village hall has a play on this coming Thursday but that looks like it will be cancelled. I have been putting off painting the bathroom. Seems like a good time to do it.

If certain teams are more affected than others, it throws the balance out. If the manager and coaching staff plus several main players are out from one club and the team they are playing are unelected, how does that work? Playing behind closed doors. How does that work when we are told that the support from the terraces means something?

If they had been killed by Muslim terrorists their pictures and life stories would be all over the media. A killer virus doesn’t warrant such in depth coverage. Make of that what you will.

Not so much a whimper, more a third rate unfunny seventies throw back attempt at comedy. I think a whimper would be preferable.

Not helping if you need to self isolate.

No, we are good thanks. But it seems the locals in the area feel it necessary to stock up and are hoovering them up. Just saw one on a local online sale site for £80 (clearly a joke). Perhaps it is just a Kent thing?

A helpful tip. Met a neighbour in Tescos and we were discussing the empty shelves where the loo rolls were supposed to be. As he walked off in the direction of the newsstand he said he was going to buy all of the copies of The Sun and cut them up into small squares. Genius.

Don’t worry Batman. If you have a house full of loo roll or go horse racing, you are clearly immune.

If other nations feel it is important to shut down, then yes. Why? To keep the mortality rate down. Does that make sense to you?

Apparently one of Johnson’s hero’s is Larry Vaughn, the mayor who insisted on keeping the beaches open despite a large shark hoovering up the holiday makers in Jaws. Could this be why we are still “open for business” while the rest of the world shuts down?

Did he say that he had his tits grabbed in his defence?

Seems reasonable. Give it a few more weeks and I doubt if there will be a choice anyway.

Just been to Tesco’s. Not a loo roll on the shelf. The lady at the checkout said people have even been nicking the loo rolls from the disabled toilets. WTF?
