.....a few players are just lazy ****s who want money for nothing IMO.

And exhibiting a real Dunkirk spirit, not.

If PL players don’t want to risk taking it home to risk infecting their families as some have suggested, let them do what a number of front-line staff have had to do and self-isolate away from their loved ones. They are far better paid than most at this point in their career so can afford to.
 
Let's face it we had a situation created by government and social media where the majority of people are scared of their own shadow. Based on the ons figures we all know who is likely to perish of cv19 and it isn't pampered footballers.

According to the ons figures, the current number of cv19 deaths of people under 60 with no underlining health issues in 356.

As at 2nd May, the number of people to commit suicide since lockdown started is 372, of which 367 were under 60.

What exactly are you trying to say here, TC? Are you implying that lockdown has directly caused these suicides, or are you drawing attention to the lockdown lowering the number of expected suicides?
 
Anyone going to stump up £69 and have a private antibody test?
Have done mine.

Waiting for the result from a lab in London which I should receive by email anyday now.

Paid £49 so thought it worth the outlay...not expecting a positive test result.

The no underlying bit is the main point there TC, bet at least half of the population have a underlying health issue near 60.

It's the fact that healthy under 60s are more likely to kill themselves than die from covid.

I am purely highlighting the fact that footballers on £100K per week that are crying about playing, really have very little to worry about.

Most online places were £99 then I saw Superdrug at £69, too steep but £49 fringing on possibly worth it. I work with 9-10 pharmacists (hoping we get it for free soon), three of them have had to have checks in the past 8 weeks, each time it was negative, they just had a cold. Social distancing with them is impossible.

Like everyone, I want to have a test and find out I have had it and never realised but I’d be amazed if I had. Each of the pharmacy workers have an average of 4 per family, how contagious this thing is then I’m sure someone would have been hit hard by it if at least one of us had had it.

A damning indictment of peoples ability to manage food intake and exercise. Yes our population are an unhealthy bunch, it will be someone else's fault and not their own though
