Liverpool FC now furloughing staff. Topping up the 20% of wages to ensure people arent left short.

Thats nice of them!

(£42m profit and £533m turnover last year)

Completely disgraceful for any PL club to be taking govt money to pay staff.

[tans]

Indeed

[Arriba]

Liverpool and other multi million making companies trying this on should be told to fuck off by the government. Order the bastards to pay their staff from their vast sums of money. It's the British tax payers funding these tax dodging cunts yet again.

My nan got out of hospital today.

She didn't have the coronavirus, but she did have a respiratory infection. Too fucking close for comfort.

glad she's on the mend fh

The prem league, and the main big leagues will be fucked.  They just think the gravy train will keep rolling at the moment. No one will have money to fund the craziness to continue. If they somehow try to, or even can do it. There will be a massive backlash. Good luck to someone like Pogbas agent getting him half a mill a week.

A long but really interesting article on the health, political and economic impacts of both the coronavirus itself and the various strategies to combat it in the US, drawing on data from the US and around the world, as well as comparisons with previous pandemics and epidemics. A lot of it is US specific, but a fair bit would apply here too, especially the stuff later in the article about the economic impacts of early vs late lockdowns, suppression vs mitigation etc

I hope that if/when this is all over, as well as shunning certain  corporate entities, Joe public give lower league football a go instead. Wishful thinking perhaps.

Interesting read, but it's one persons opinion based a lot on previous pandemics. I'm assuming he used Spanish flu for most of it, when there were barely planes, let alone anything else to factor in. He might be right, but i'd say the general 20/80 rule would apply here, as we are in unknown territory.

No he also used more recent outbreaks such as SARS etc. He's actually very precise at where he's using data from for each bit and quite careful in his application of it

[suttonred]

Yeah I got that but sars was very small, no comparison there.

To be fair seeing some of the bellends here, we could do with similar...
