    He has a point to be fair, well two actually with regards the WHO, the USA contribute the most to it and they were slow alerting the rest of the world.
    It certainly looks like Tendros Adhanom is using China as the shining example of how to handle the situation
    conveniently omitting China had 2 possibly 3 months start on the rest of the world.
    An interesting video .

    I heard Hancock refer to the new Care badge as a 'badge of honour'. Fair enough until I noticed he was now wearing one. Wtf has Hancock, the Secretary of State for Health AND Social Care who has largely ignored the social care sector during the crisis now done to warrant wearing this 'badge of honour'?

    Hancock is on a mission to make Labour look good on his own.

    He was asked this morning" In New Zealand the minsters are all taking a 20% pay cut. Would you be taking one?"

    Hancock" no!"

    "But it's ok for you to suggest footballers should? Some of your minsters are well off and you get a good wage. So what you doing?"

    Hancock "I'm work every minute I can"

    "So what you just doing your job?"

    Hancock is a prick!!

    Interesting read here Coronavirus: Significant social distancing needed 'until vaccine found' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52308201

    Whilst I’m not saying it will happen, if social distancing measures stay in place until the second half of 2021 then forget about sport like during the war. See you all at Valley Parade for the 20-21 season.

    More like the 21-22 season.

    Sport will find a way to manage though this. Can't say Boxing won't happen until 21-22 for example.

    Football will be played behind closed doors.

    Speaking of tickets... I got the stimulus check through yesterday which I didn't think I was going to get. That is what you love to see. Hope you're safe down south.

    Read on twitter (I know hardly the bastion of facts) that the NHS costs about 15 million an hour. I am 100% behind nurses getting paid more. But if people think simply throwing more money at it will work - they're deluded. It has to be efficiently managed.

    Also, fair play to Captain Tom. Not all heroes wear capes - but all that wear medals are heroes.

    Number of coronavirus deaths by age group in England up to 5PM on 15th April.

    0-19 Yrs: 8
    20-39 Yrs: 96
    40-59 Yrs: 958
    60-79 Yrs: 4922
    80+: 6412

    Total: 12396 (yesterday: 11656; increase of 740)

    Figures provided above are only from hospitals in England, not for the UK as a whole or community deaths.

    Source: https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/COVID-19-total-announced-deaths-16-April-2020.xlsx (tab: COVID19 total deaths by age).

    So if you are 59 or below the fatality is 9%
    39 below it's 1%
    60 plus it's 90%

    * posted this on the season ticket thread also! Over 70's I look forward to seeing you in that thread. Stay home, don't go outside!

    Not cages ... just special camps to keep them isolated from the rest of us. Although he might say it's to protect them, Fordy wouldn't want them weakening the rest of society!

    As an afterthought, maybe Fordy would like all over 70's to have to wear a little badge to indicate who is in that category? That should work well. Maybe a coloured, star-shaped symbol to show they are really special?
