I don’t think we’ll know the full story until it’s all over, not because the authorities are keeping it from us, but because no one really knows the who, how or why that some people are so badly effected and others aren’t.

The more people are tested, the more we’ll know. I strongly suspect the likelihood of a healthy person dying is pretty low, but I don’t want to catch it to find out. That’s if I haven’t had it already.

if I was a nurse or doctor in ICU I’d be worried. Every ****ing one of them deserves a huge pay rise after this.

As an overweight old fart whose lungs are bit ****ed by smoking, I think the danger to me is mostly in my own head.
People react differently to different things.......A peanut can kill some.We're all a bit more fragile than we like to think.
 
How many times have players and Managers praised the home support ? 12th man etc .

Take that out and it is utterly Soulless.

I bet the players would find it very very difficult to adjust .

It just wouldn't be the same spectacle without supporters there. Might be high viewing figures initially but the novelty will wear off quickly.

Not dismissive at all. Lower league football is fine. If you want PL quality football then that needs [HASHTAG]#worldclass[/HASHTAG] players which needs billion pound TV deals which needs worldwide fanbases.

People who support major PL clubs but think only stadium fans or season ticket holders are "real" fans are dismissive and deluded hypocrites. You only get to watch these players because of worldwide fans.

Are they though?
The definition of support is:
"give assistance to, especially financially; enable to function or act".

So you can only be classed as a supporter if:
1. You buy a ticket and go to a game (be that season ticket, individual game whatever)
2. You buy the merchandise (and it has to be genuine - not the 2quid Liverpool shirts I can buy here)
3. You subscribe to the clubs TV channel

Otherwise you are just a fan, along with the millions around the world, who don't or can't actually support their team, by attending games.

And subscribing to Sky Sports doesn't count as supporting your team, even though that income is the main source of the clubs revenue, for the simple reason that it also supports all the rival clubs in the league.

@astro - Ironically if Liverpool hadn't reversed their decision on furloughing staff you could have classed yourself as a Liverpool supporter as it would be your tax supporting them. Now you will have to console yourself with being a Spurs or Newcastle supporter.

If you paid for Sky / BT you could claim you were supporting the game in fairness, but he doesn’t even do that.

He views every match via illegal streams.

He really shouldn’t have gone down this route, as he’s been absolutely torched here.
 
The Universal Credit system is a joke, as millions of people are about to find out. It was summed up nicely by someone on the TV, who said we have gratitude for our NHS, we have gratitude for our pensioners, yet mention the other aspect of the system, UC, then some people looked down on it, well some of those people now, will have to learn how to manage on around £70 a week, I've seen the press mention £92+ fook knows where they get that figure, but even that in itself aint going to pay the bills.

Oh and don't forget as @Looney Leftie pointed out, they will get a feed of your earnings, so don't even expect to get those figures above, and if you have over £16k in savings you will get fook all, and if you have over £6 k in savings, expect deductions in that £92. But hey, it's the system no one cared about, hence why we have food kitchens and homelessness in the UK.

But Starmer.
 
So much time in the office is lost through inane chit chat and making plans for work drinks. Never bought into all that team building bollocks either.

Fair comment . When another part of BT joined us they used to take turns to do the monthly huddle . Doesn’t happen anymore <laugh>
