Without a vaccine, I believe the UK will be looking to cycle social distancing/testing on and off through the Summer and Autumn so as to slowly build immunity in the population, because there is a strong likelihood of a 2nd peak in the Autumn / Winter. Testing may or may not protect against a 2nd outbreak.

This could well be me being dim but those 2010 figures don't add up at all ?OK I was shooting from the hip so after my bike ride (27km) I went to the ONS all cause mortality data. Let's compare and contrast.

But you think it is ok to risk players and everyone else plus their families to play football

For 2010 I haven't got time to check but I suspect the figures along the bottom add up to the total in the right hand column, though what the excess refers to compared to the other two years I've no idea.

‘As President Trump presses for states to reopen their economies, his administration is privately projecting a steady rise in the number of cases and deaths from the coronavirus over the next several weeks, reaching about 3,000 daily deaths on June 1, according to an internal document obtained by The New York Times, nearly double from the current level of about 1,750.’
Christ. How could they even think about opening stuff back up again if that’s even remotely true?

Yes but if you look at the individual figures, eg for week 1, they don't come to anything like the total shown ?

That's what I mean about the excess, I don't understand what we're supposed to take from it without an explanantion of what that represents.
The population is infected. You have to find a way to deal with it. 'Cycling' is how I think it will be approached.
How does footballers training put you, or me at risk? It's low risk for society because it's a closed group. Opening primary schools, which is being reported as an option for June 1st, affects everyone as it has the potential to affect R0.

It's always been about the resources required to put football on (medical staff, ambulances, tests etc) and how this is detrimental to the rest of society.
I'm with you on this. Just because people are getting fed up and are starting to go outdoors, whether they have decided themselves to return to work or visit friends because let's face it, many have and like most times it seems those in the minority have the loudest voices and want an end to this so called lockdown. Yes, I have missed my family. I have a nephew who has learning difficulties. He's coming up to 38 years of age but I haven't seen him for 6 weeks, that's the longest period of not seeing him ever and it's hurting, but it's been explained to him the reasons why we have to keep safe.
But, I am concerned about the easing of the current situation.
