No - people aren't obeying now so they wouldn't go for that however as a result of peoples actions here people are dying but they don't see it that way.
People are obeying it though. The hope was that, for the curve to flatten, 75% would adhere to the lockdown. It’s estimated that only about 8% are breaking it hence the Ro infection number is currently 0.62, which is great news.
 
Not heard much on whether the UK Easter lockdown is being observed or not, anyone know more?

Wife went to work at Central Hospital this morning for an extra shift and said it was quiet on roads so she is hopeful, although that was pre 9am so no real indicator.

That said I'm fully expecting pictures of people sat on the beach with BBQs any time now.

Even it's fully observed by 99.9% of everyone, someone will still find a photo opportunity of a group of idiots so don't let it worry you. According to the government the lockdown is working in is current state so as long as you know you have played your part there's not much more you can do.
 
If they're testing footballers just so they can finish the season, when people who are ill, but don't know if its the virus can't get tested then I won't be watching any of it on TV, football, its authorities, and the broadcast media can f**k off with its totally selfish attitudes.

So if the clubs effectively set up their own testing facility that in no way impacts the general public you would have an issue? I'd say the hundreds of millions footballers are going to be contributing to the cause more than makes for this. Get football back up and running ASAP I say.

media have been a joke. Mail especially.

Indeed they have. It’s like they have to try to have an ‘us and them’ all the time so people can be outraged and click on their poxy stories. What they hate is that, in spite of us having wildly different opinions sometimes, we’ve actually all got much more in common than we haven’t, and they obviously believe that ‘good news’ doesn’t sell papers or generate clicks. Arses....

I think it will take the UK some time to get up and running with the fast tests but it will happen.

I am not sure footballers would regards this suggestion as being selfish. They might think clubs are taking a risk with their health. There is no equality of health, and we are not in this together if that is your supposition.
 
You wont believe it but Billy has come over all faint and cracked his head open on his surf board.Must be the sun cos he's only had 8 cans and a couple of tabs.we have all piled into a nearby care home to see if they have a first aid kit.They just said fuck off; what is wrong with some people? Will all have to go to A and E now ffs perhaps they can prescribe something for our dry coughs while we are there.At least it takes our minds off the lockdown.Small mercies
I probably shouldn't laugh, especially as my very frail mother in law is in a care home in a surfing town in Cornwall but you have made me laugh today.
 
I know my little jaunt down to Newquay was make believe but seriously there are people like that about.Please stay at home,most of you will have a garden however small.

Thanks, it was to highlight people's stupidity not to offend or upset anyone. Anything to lighten the mood

So you’re not really in Cornwall??
 
Got here at last.Fucking lifeguards 4x4 blocking entrance to beach.Good job there is loads of us to manhandled it out of our way.Billy has some tabs that he got from a dodgy geezer in Newton Heath and now were on the cider .Happy days

Tell Billy to keep his trap shut about where he got them from, there are coppers on this thread and he's putting me on top.
 
Number of cases in Europe are slowing down, granted the deaths are high because of a three week lag. I expect normal life to resume at the end of May, or am I being optimistic?
 
One law for some none for others and a total disrespect of the law and it's enforcement by others.
I have just been out for some elderly people on our urbanisation and was stopped at a roundabout checkpoint they wanted.
My license
Proof of address
Receipt from the shop
And search my car
They were very polite checked my address on Google maps (make shire I wasn't out of my area ) and sent me on my way.
Can you imagine this happening in the UK?

It’s Northants Chief plod’s wet dream.

Same here. We test about 14k a day I think right now and every single test matters and will continue to matter as we go into a contact tracing stage that will require us to test up to 500k people a day if we’re to stop the kind of death toll we’re seeing now. Setting aside a few thousand of these for footballers and sports stars for a completely different reason would be even more of a PR disaster than snakes like Levy scrounging from the state.
 
If City play so much as one league game behind closed doors, I’ll stop going completely.
Football is dead without a crowd, the only ones advocating it not to be the case are armchair supporters.
The choice will be scrapping the 2019/20 season or playing it behind closed doors. We aren't going to have fans in the grounds for months.
