In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
It's fecking crazy isn't it? I saw in el pais that some hospitals are basically choosing on life expectancy now - that's literally what it said but I don't know if it meant expectacy to survive or potential years left.
Sounds like the party has been shut (gated urbanizacion, so security probably tried) but whether they've just gone inside I don't know. Weather's crappy as well, which makes it even more mental.
We're gonna have to do a full Wuhan style lockdown, GC and PL enforcing it. Except, where I am there are not enough police, because of the drugs. Yay.

How to understand the timing behind self isolation and house isolation, and why you may need to isolate for more than 14 days under current UK guidance:

Still only early doors. Fingers crossed....

Good to know.
In the bunker.
The president of the RKI was actually asked who they count as (corona related) death cases just yesterday and his answer was that they count anyone who was tested positive for Corona.
St Helena
Just thank feck kids don't seem to be involved in this.
Lorenzo Sanz, former Real Madrid president(1995-2000) died today for the virus
Youngest UK victim now 41.
underlying health conditions? or that's not important
Just got 10 pints of ale/cider from the local for £15. Silver lining.
There are medicine that does help though. The Chinese used the Japanese flu vaccine and it did help people in China but this for after they got infected. What is needed is a vaccine that would stop infecting people. In the UK treatment for HIV also helped the patients. The Chinese are trying to mass produce the Japanese flu vaccine but I think the copyright issue and this has not been approved by the Japanese government to use on Covid patients could be the delay.
WHO says 4 drugs have been fast tracked and if all goes well they could be ready for production by end of April. Avigan which has been used in China is also effective in the treatment and so they are hoping they could finalise the clinical trials and get it approved into production. The Americans have one too which can be used on compassionate grounds in just to save a life and also the Israelis have also some that can be used to safe lives. Whether it will save lives or not is not sure. But they are allowed to use it in that case.

Can you fecking imagine?! And they usually would be. Swine flu was as dangerous to the very young as it was to the very old.
Is it true that only 3 of the victims in Italy did not have any underlying conditions? I remember read it today somewhere.
Also, only 5 victims under 40 (and all of them had some underlying conditions).

I would say China now. They do not have any new reports from the inside and hence they would have the medical equipment and the experience to deal with it now. Singapore has had two deaths today.
So this is your last sensible post for a while then?
You can bet people would be isolating if it affected kids.
North Korea is the best place to be.
They'd probably shoot you for wearing a mask. With a rifle with scope, obviously.
Well it is, and it's inevitable given what we know, and this is a 'fact' that is reassuring alot of people, which is no doubt dangerous in the seemingly complacent healthy spreading it.
Don’t get hung up on this, you’ve got much more chance of dying from sepsis but I’d guess that you’ve never given that a second thought.
They're dropping it to a £1 tomorrow, so for at least a couple of days.
102 new cases in Ireland
I've also read Germany for whatever reason , cases have skewed to the younger population. So along with top healthcare, ton of testing etc, they might have just a bit of lag while it reaches the older population.
- 55% are male and 44% are female
- the median age of confirmed cases is 44 years
- 30% of cases have been hospitalized
- 13 cases admitted to ICU – representing 2% of all cases hospitalized
- 147 cases – 25% of cases are associated with healthcare workers
- Dublin has the highest number of cases at 55%, followed by Cork 15%

fecking hell, imagine living below him.
Isn't long-distance running really bad for your immune system?
I couldn't possibly answer that but just to say me and the missus ran 1 mile a fortnight ago and it was tough going for us. The plan was to extend that half a km every evening but then the world got turned upside down.
You can just imagine what they're saying in that picture.
Woman: You're a fecking arsehole.
Man: No, you're a fecking arsehole, bitch.

I couldn’t find out if there was going to be a COVID-19 presser today. Turns out there was and it was very much the C-team. Literally no idea who any of these three are and still none the wiser.
His tweet are quite scary and alarming regarding where we are in relation to Italy.
The French study is here
https://www.mediterranee-infection....2020/03/Hydroxychloroquine_final_DOI_IJAA.pdf
Have to be very cautious with it as small sample size. All patients had mild-moderate symptoms. The ones who went to ITU died or were lost to follow up.
And nasopharyngeal swabs to test for coronavirus seems not a clinically significant endpoint to study
In reality what should be done is to see the drugs with control, single and combination given to study for effects in reducing mortality, reducing progression to intubation, reducing rates of ARDS + myocarditis and reducing stay in ITU with successful extubation etc.
Hopeful that with the numerous trials being conducted that we start seeing some strong data emerge on a pharmacological agent (or agents) to use
Well, speaking as a celebrity (not really but I am an essential worker and most essential workers we are paid shite ) it's all about profile and the need to seem to be relevant. Don't forget, these little darlings have had a week or 2 out of the limelight and their egos are now struggling to cope
Don't worry, technically you can still run outside? Just have to keep your distance from other people? Maybe do it at night.
