The British medical/scientific community seem to have done their best to avoid simply following the herd and have come up with their conclusions (right or wrong) based on their interpretation of the facts.



And the British constabulary appears to have decided that the Accuri case should not be investigated...

National state of emergency, worst hit is actually Madrid. Over 2000 cases there. Now army on the street, all bars restaurants etc shut in the capital too.

Catalan, rioja, Galicia, Madrid, and parts of Leon and the basque region in lockdown. Malaga province is probably next followed by the rest of Andalucia.

Easter parades look like they may be cancelled which is a fucking huge deal here.

Just got off the phone with my mum who lives in Portugal.

If you are found to be out whilst suppose to be self isolating it is punishable by 5 years in prison.

Limiting numbers in shops, restaurants etc, all parades cancelled

Anyone know how Swindon's finances will operate with no games? Will insurance cover player wages?

Just checked my wife's temperature and it's 34.

Does that mean she's dead?

An early halt to the season would have been very much welcome in recent years given the dross served up at STFC, so it is typical something like this occurs when we are on track for our first promotion and possibly title for almost a decade!

I have tried to read up as much as I can and all noises suggest the peak isn’t actually expected until another 10-14 weeks. Making a return to action a long way off. However, the suggestion is very much that the season will not be ‘voided’ - due to the integrity of the competition, legal challenges etc.

By all accounts nothing is being ruled out, including significant re-scheduling to the 20/21 season if this one has to be finished over the summer - what happens with regards to players contracts is anyone’s guess.

One thing for sure is that this will be very messy....and I’m missing the football already!!

Enjoy the first of many non-football Saturday’s TEF’rs  Sad

I popped to Asda Orbial at 7am and a lot of the shelves were empty (baked beans, pasta, rice, biscuits, porridge etc) but plenty of bread, milk, cheese, fruit & veg. Asda are looking at shutting their stores at midnight - 6am so that they can restock shelves as there are too many shoppers turning up during the night plus some getting abusive.
Lidl this morning was basically the same as Asda short on certain items but ok with others

Not sure that's true of the medical/scientific *community*, there seems to be significant dissenting voices to the "herd immunity" line the CSO is pushing. It's interesting though that many companies are taking it upon themselves to implement social distancing ahead of govt advice to do so. There doesn't seem to be much trust in the official advice.

Given we’ve got a winter World Cup in 2022, and noise sounds like it’s a couple of months until the worst is over, would the authorities that be consider restructuring next season to start later and get prepared for the enforced winter break in a few years?
