The Retrospectascope will be working overtime in the future.
On the other hand, it's a good job the Premier League was canned when it was or I'd have probably given it to my 90 year old father.

When it comes to Cheltenham or Anfield retrospect has nothing to do with it. It was there then, it was ignored and it will cost lives. But the scientists said go ahead if I remember rightly so we should trust them.

Given the demographics of the 20k audience, the number of likely carriers, the infection rate of Covid-19 and the level of interaction of anyone infected with the disease with other attendees - it’s almost certainly untrue.

We'll never know as it'll just be noise in a greater toll anyway, and nobody knows how many people have, or have had it anyway, that might become clearer in time with testing, but I suspect we'll never fully know.
 
Someone I know works in one of the Manchester hospitals and said death is everywhere and it’s horrific for the staff, many of whom have been in the job for 25 years or more. She said all of the beds they are creating in the GMEX will be in use in the next 3 weeks it is that bad.

Hats off to all those people battling this, all the supermarket workers, all the pharmacy workers, all the small shop workers, all the GP surgeries, delivery drivers, transport workers and all the other people involved in keeping this country and it’s people going, many earning not much more than minimum wage.

You only realise how little your own job means when faced with what really matters and I salute these true heroes in what is a time of national crisis.

Stereophonics gig at the Arena on the Friday night the lockdown was announced went ahead - 20,000 people all in the same indoor space. Potential for much greater number of deaths than the Arena bombing.

Agree it shouldn’t have gone ahead but I don’t think either should be compared. No point bringing the MEN up. A suicide bomber blew up a children’s concert!

Feels like I've spent the last few weeks preparing for a role in The Singing Detective. :-(

Joanne Whalley: utter dynamite. only looked better in the TV version of "A Kind of Loving" Fuckin' loved watching that with me mum back in the day. Going off track here, it takes me back to when my mum took me to the Royal Exchange for the first time and I saw Tom Courtenay on stage. Watching him knew I'd witnessed something very, very special.

That fella does not fuck around does he. I watched a documentary on him that was very raw and informative. The docu people were tagging along to arrest a drug dealer. The moment the camera was out of sight they just shot the fucker. When camera crew asked what happened the copper just shrugged and said he tried to run, dude was not one step away from where he was earlier xD

He is effective though, the country was on its knees due to drug addiction. He cleaned it up double quick. I did enjoy how he said he would slap Obama for some double standard comments he made about Duerte. Obama never attended summits where he was after that lol.

Was it this docu?

 
Interesting item on BBC News earlier.
PPE equipment is reaching hospitals - the issue is Critical PPE for which there is still a shortage.
