Okay the breaking news wasn’t clear. He went into hospital then had a test which was positive.
I hope to god nothing happens to him. Liverpool will be a nightmare especially after losing the title.

If you look on the Worldometers website for virus stats it becomes very clear, when looking at the country by country stats, that there is a direct correlation between the number of tests administered and the number of deaths per head of population. The higher the first the lower the second. Only Italy bucks the trend.

No I get that mate and I still think it's a scandal and a piss take out of Joe public
I didn’t say it wasn’t a pisstake out of Joe Public, I agree heartily, surely MP’s should be internet ready and wired up in each of their homes
However my point was yet again the misconception and fake ****e that spirals out of control and context be it in the mainstream media or on social media or for that matter even in here ( sometimes).

Met him once in a hotel in Glasgow, Dalglish that is.

One of the lads who was with us went up to him and said, Kenny, as a Celtic and Liverpool supporter, you are my hero. His response, "so ****ing what" as he walks the other way. Horrible little man. Hope he gets over this though.

We live in a time where in some areas information is not regulated. Social media is minefield and quite a lot of the stuff you read is s##t. Karen on Facebook thinks she is now a doctor because she watched 2 episodes of Casualty. She passes on incorrect information which spreads and people believe it as gospel. it’s like a snowball effect.
The regulated media generally has its favourites like the newspapers champion certain ideologies. So sometimes they are hard to read into. I think a bit of common sense is the best way forward. I trust the NHS chiefs as I do the scientists that speak on TV and Radio because if we don’t trust them we are left with Karen.

All good, thanks Ellers and thanks to Sooper for asking earlier.

Just missing work would you believe and a bit bored stuck indoors for most of the day but thankfully, I have started growing some fruit and veg in the garden so I have a bit of a hobby. Can't wait to return to normal and get a few matches in again. Looks like it could be August or September before we see any more football unfortunately.

Stay safe Elers.

So a doctor who wrote an open letter to Johnson complaining about the lack of PPE has died of the virus.

If there was a choice, I'd sooner Johnson had died.

To be fair turkish, I didn't get my info from any social platform as I'm only on here and linkedin so I dont know about all this fake stuff that people swallow. I heard this in a live tv interview with the batley MP this morning. (Brabin from corrie). Straight from the horses mouth so to speak.
