Coronavirus outbreak

[Vision]

How many goals per minute would the coronvirus get in League One?

350

So by my calculations, if we signed COVID-19 and played it up front every minute of every game for the rest of the season, we would score 0 goals.

If I were playing against I'd go zonal marking rather than man to man.

3 Up to 80% of UK population likely to be infected
4 May dip for a while in Summer, returning November
5 Best estimates say 10% of critical workers off sick at any one time
6 No more screening
7 Case numbers likely to rise very quickly for 10-14 weeks
8 Half a million UK may die
9 1% mortality rate will mean 531,000 UK deaths
10 0.6% mortality rate would mean 318,660 UK deaths

Worse case scenarion, I`m not worried I`ve got 100 toilet rolls to keep me alive.

Does this figure include combatants? I think it does.

An interesting comparison would be with civilian deaths within the UK - ie victims of bombing, knock-on effects of blackout eg motor accidents, fires etc.

I suspect in terms of civilian deaths we're going to have to go back to 1349 for a bigger number than what's coming. Lower % pop'n, obvs.

Spanish flu killed 228,000 on Britain and 23,000 on Ireland. 250,000 deaths across the UK and Ireland is entirely possible although not guaranteed.

Worth remembering that we live in historically safe times. When smallpox and polio and so forth were all circulating and sanitation was crap and so forth, lots of people died prematurely who wouldn’t today.

There’s a theory I’m inclined to believe that the Black Death was caused by a viral haemorrhagic fever unknown to moderate science (on the basis that the tradition Y. pestis theory has huge holes in it). If that’s true and either it returns or a similar virus develops airborne transmission then every other disease will seem like a hangover.

"NHS Officials have leaked".
Ive often wondered who these officials that leak documents are. If you did that in most jobs you would be sacked and in some cases prosecuted as well. Why are there no investigations into these people who are breaking the OSA.
Finally, its the Guardian.....If you have a copy of that Snowball theres a months worth of bog roll right there.

You might need them to wipe your behind with if there's a shortage

[Snowball]

The shit paper thing is WEIRD

We managed without it for 50,000 years

I didn’t see a toilet roll until I was six

[Snowflake Royal]

Mmm bacon

They might as well keep my money, I haven't bothered with most the winter games anyway.

At least you may end up saving money on your Charlton top half finish

Only if one of us dies, I pay up.

Ooooo! Or the season is voided! Get in! You're right!!!

Love all the sanctimonious finger pointing (hope said finger was washed for 20+ seconds) whilst they’re still running “Guardian Soulmates” ads.

Mind you, reading The Lancet’s Covid-19 resource centre doesn’t make me particularly glib or relaxed.

[Millsy]

Don't flame me for this but... yeah it's all serious and all that but...

does anyone really love all this general feeling of utter panic?

It kind of brings us all together a bit as a nation after all the divisive BS we've had with brexit.

There are investigations and they do lead to sackings, but if something has been circulated very widely it is almost impossible to tell who it is, and no senior officials are stupid enough to leak things that are circulated narrowly.

In this case I don’t think there is a breach of the OSA as the information doesn’t endanger national security, but the person behind the leak could theoretically lose their job.

Something like this - probably seen by well over 100 people, some embarrassment for the government but all forgotten by tomorrow - will probably lead to an investigation that ultimately finds nothing and isn’t publicised.
