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.
Yeah and it would be kept on increasing exponentially if lockdown wasn't put into place.
Horrible combo of things to be involved in.
But incredible good fortune to get through the Holocaust is the positive I suppose. To get to a ripe old age.
Wow - an 18 year old has now passed in the UK.
feck you Boris, you cnut.

Question to our Indian based posters:
How is Convid19 interrupting Modi's 'national ID' plans and the demonstrations against that?

in all seriousness, this thread is 400 pages old. There's been so many but flu comparisons that it's grinding now, and I think people need to be called out for it. I'll get a warning from Trump I guess.

Scary on one hand. Promising on the other. A lot of us could have had it, and not had any of the two UK official symptoms, and now have recovered with far greater immunity. If we were factored in, this would substantially slash the case fatality rate. That’s one possible miracle that gets out of this sooner than we anticipate.
Attack the post not the poster, but i think the moderators should make an exception on this one.Tweet

I wrote before that the ciao ciao double cheek kiss (from unknown carriers) must also have been a huge reason for their higher numbers.
On 'Crazy' ... Wuhan residents were welded into their apartments by Government agents during enforced self isolation. Sometimes dictatorship is useful!
Who said that? I'm stating facts not predictions. On average 600,000 people die every year in the UK. A lot of people that die of covid19 would be among the deaths this year without covid19. There would be an overlap, even Patrick Valance admitted this.
I should probably know this, but I wonder where the Manchester equivalent would be? Manchester Central/G-Mex?
"A makeshift hospital has been set up in a conference centre in the capital Madrid, a city that is bearing some of the highest infection rates.
The hospital will be fitted with 5,500 beds, making it the biggest facility of its kind in Europe. Its director, Antonio Zapatero, told El Mundo newspaper that 300 people will be move there this weekend.
Earlier we reported on new figures from Spain, which has now seen over 1,700 disease-related deaths since the coronavirus epidemic began."
From the BBC. Should say "moved". I see many articles on the bbc site have spelling mistakes or broken English.
Basically, we're fecked and took too long to act. Technically, all commercial activity hasn't stopped in the UK either. Some retail stores and coffee shops are still open.
Everyone who posts with this flu comparison doesn't realise that if we can turn this into another seasonal virus with the same yearly death rate, it will be a big win.
Anything other than the Daily Mail?
feck that's absolutely horrible.
Thanks for the vote of confidence! Hope all is well there, or at least getting better.
Gmex and the exhibition space near the Trafford Centre. Nec in Birmingham and Excel in London
How much overlap?
Luckily the supermarket i go to has a BM and poundstretcher just over from it so I can get pretty much everything in one sweep. Avoid going in the mornings at all cost, these seem to be peak times now and you're most vulnerable to be caught in crowds.
not really given its population density, esp Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn.New York having 12,000 new cases in a day is mental
Good luck forcing people to stay confined into tiny NYC apartments for required period without martial law too!
now imagine if the flu could kill half a million people in a few weeks and we didn't have a vaccine
Ta. I won't give the Mail the click but I think we can probably assume they aren't just gonna invent deaths.
Poor kid. Poor friends and family.
Of for sure there will be a lot of overlap, there will also be a lot of people who had other unrelated illnesses/injuries who will die unnecessarily because our health system is overloaded with Covid-19 patients due to the rapid infection rate and lack of vaccine/antiviral.It's still not comparable to the flu
BBC.
France:
Cases: 16,018 +1559 from yesterday
Deaths: 674 +112 from yesterday

The demonstrations continue on a smaller scale than before, the census for the citizenship registry has apparently also been put on hold for now.
'all in vulnerable groups including with underlying conditions ' is a very vague phrase.
Just watch how quickly all the senators who were in contact with Paul get tested.
That is EXACTLY what is happening. They have a 'road map' which will be a quick but individual roll out of actions, increasing in severity every time.
I just hope they allow UK nationals abroad home, as they have yet to instruct SOS to Brits abroad (my flight from Thailand is on 25th!)
From what I can see, and Im a labour supporter, I have sympathy for BJ and his Government. Despite his personna, he is a smart and resilient person, has good people around him, and has a great instinct for reading the mood of the nation (eg his rise from London mayor to PM).
Whether we like it or not, there is a balancing act between human life and future security and prosperity. Every Government decision is laced with is 'kill 1 person to save 100'. Every decision he takes has any least 40% downside. Just has to take the least worst decision every time. And he may make mistakes, but I'll trust them as well meaning for now.
Electorate have to quickly get their hands around that. Just follow his advice!!!

Agree.
Some people will always resist being told what to do. But if you can convince them it was their own idea, they'll happily fall into line.
Just nipped to my local corner shop (about a 4 minute drive), got a 9 pack of bog roll and pack of spaghetti. Pretty well stocked. Cashier was wearing gloves.
Much better to go to these little shops as everyone seems to gravitate towards the hypermarkets.

This worked for me for a while. Ours finally had to close today as it had almost completely empty shelves though.
I think being outside is ok as long as you're following the social distancing guidelines. In fact I have seen a lot more people out walking recently and there are health benefits to that.
With these press conferences, you've got Boris Johnson and his colleagues standing less than 2 meters apart in a room full of journalists passing around the same microphone asking why people aren't listening and self isolating.
Maybe yesterday was the peak? Let's see what tomorrow says. We want 600-700 or lower and not a jump above 1,000 again.
