Dr. Jonathon Quick reveals on Ch4 News that JHU (John Hopkins Uni.) produced results from a "Pandemic Preparedness" study six months ago. The study showed that the average preparedness was around 44 out of a possible 100. I think it was Trump who used this data to say that the USA was the most prepared. Indeed the report does put them top with 83.5 (UK was 2nd) but as we know, this will mean nothing if you don't action your preparedness. Trump seems to think that being prepared is enough...

Ive had 7 shows cancelled today and am rather worrying about my a 10 date arena tour in April going and leaving me with no work for a month.
The joys of self employment.
American acts are seeing their shows cancelled in mainland Europe and realise that they cant afford to come over and just do the UK (hence why it better if we have strong ties and frictionless travel with the European union, but that fucked)
So the question is, do I need 2 kidneys and will a 48 year old kidney from someone who's worked for 25 years in live music go for enough to see me through this crisis!
I hope your not on the Biff Byford solo tour in April  |

Every football game in England will reportedly be held behind closed doors
No games are to be shown in pubs and will be streamed live to ticket holders
Government plans to combat coronavirus spread could be unveiled on Thursday
A Cobra meeting is expected to move the official response to the 'delay' phase
This will result in a crisis plan being unveiled for football, according to The Times
Football can’t survive in the lower leagues. This won’t work.

The problem is, what's the alternative? A delayed season still kills cashflow, and we have a squillion players OOC on June 30th. Lower leagues needs financial help too in such circumstances. That much is obvious. But it extends down to non-leeague and out to loads of business. |
