    Not comparable - Cheltenham was a free for all, sport will resume with guidelines and safety procedures.

    Sport will only resume when it is safe to do so.
    Wether it's a few months or several years is anyone's guess at the moment.

    If this virus is still around next year, there won't be many sane fans left.

    No, but Leeds' crowds will increase, all the sane ones will stay away.

    And trump has the neck to blame China for this. It’s his own idiots more to blame for it and. At least the Chinese are trying to get rid of it. Some of this lot are oblivious to it

    On the plus side it could potentially raise the average IQ in the USA.

    If you're a midget, do you only have to stand 3ft away from others?

    I'm just waiting for the gangs of Red Necks with sub machine guns saying they will sort the virus out <laugh>

    Thanks for the good wishes.

    Frozen shoulder is a horrible condition. I had it sequentially on both sides when I was in my 50s. It was bleedin' agony and it took about 3 years for each to work itself back to normal. I found that all you could do was to take painkillers when it was really bad, but I remember that sometimes it was too painful to sleep.

    I didn't realize that there was a link with diabetes. I had Type 2 at the time, but in the last few years managed to get rid of it by adopting that extreme diet - 400 calories a day for several weeks. It was tough as you basically starve, but after a few weeks my blood sugar levels were in the normal range. But my doctor insists that diabetes is incurable and so will concede only that my symptoms have "resolved themselves," as though it happened by magic!

    Good luck with it.

    Thanks Elland. Each day is a little better than the last. But I think that my recovery would have been hastened if I could have been watching our triumphant run-in as champions en route to a well deserved and long overdue return to the Premiership!

    Thanks mate.

    I managed to stay out of hospital. My wife wanted to call an ambulance on several occasions but I figured that once admitted, there was a good chance I wouldn't ever get out. I had a lot of time to think about it and came to the conclusion that if my time was up, I'd prefer to go in my own bed in the company of those whom I love most, rather than on a hospital trolley or hooked up to a ventilator surrounded by people in masks and protective gear.

    In terms of medication I took a lot of paracetamol, and also used sleeping pills and melatonin to make the nights a bit more bearable. But basically stayed in bed and waited it out.

    I wasn't tested because I'm not a key worker (or a member of the Royal Family!) but I am sure that it was the virus. The symptoms fit with what I have read about it and it was also different from normal `flu or other viruses that I've had over the years. It's frustrating that ordinary people can't get tested at the moment either to confirm that they have got it or that they have had it.

    Apparently, the dark red is adjacent to Cheltenham race course.

    So, Mr Trump believes that injecting disinfectant or inhaling bleach can kill the C-19 virus. Really? I'd like to see him drink a quart of Jayes Fluid, that should solve a lot of problems. What a f*cking cretin.

    I've now got to the point where I'm not really bothered about the political views of the person in charge, I'd just like it to be someone who doesn't brag about shaking the hands of Covid patients or suggests injecting disinfectant.
