    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    Very true. In many cases going back to school might just mean more controlled mixing compared to what has already been going on for some time. And (as mentioned previously) much easier tracing if cases do pop up.

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    Still unknown, yes, as in there isn't enough reliable evidence to be certain about anything. But it appears that there is some useful evidence available. And it is reasonably reassuring: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52003804 "Community studies in Iceland, South Korea, Netherlands and...

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    NHS staff (and care workers?) getting tested regularly now Track and Trace will generate a lot of tests for people without symptoms And people will self-refer if they have been in contact with anyone with symptoms Just my guesses/assumptions

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    Indeed. It still seems unclear just how much school age children act as transmitters (it's very clear that they are at almost no risk themselves). BUT track and trace should work very well for any outbreaks linked to schools, as it is very easy to work out, and contact, anyone that may have been...

    'A total of 75.5% of people who were in close contact with those who were initially contacted were reached' That's hugely important. If we can keep at that level, or improving on it, alongside maintaining some simple cautionary behaviours, we should be able to keep a lid on things for some...

    [Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

    'Wouldn’t suit Bielsa’s style anyway. Great ability yes, but his overall workrate is not the best. He just coasts through matches like Zlatan. Better for Bielsa’s system would be Ronaldo and Levandovski because they have a higher overall workrate and track back. That’s my opinion' This IS...

    [Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

    I think the point being made is that he'd have been very happy to stay at Leeds and also very happy to come home to Brighton. Either option is great for him right now. Since everyone seems to be speculating on what he wants, without any evidence whatsoever, I'll join in. I don't think he gives...

    [Humour] Tinpot & Plucky

    Listen to your sensible side. Although the Bournemouth one is sort of catchy, if you can somehow listen to it whilst squinting with your ears. If you can arrange it so that you listen to the Bournemouth one, while watching the Reading one you may, just, walk away intact.

    [Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

    My point! Guardiola and Klopp have LOVED playing against us. Our insistence on playing from the back, when we just aren't good enough against their attacking players, has been a gift to them and they're very keen to insist we should keep playing that way in future... Hopefully we'll see a...

    [Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

    Did I not see one of them explaining that Utd, Chelsea and Man City are their rivals? Not us. Definitely not us. Just so it's clear. Anyway, when they are getting spanked on a regular basis playing their non-stop, high octane, free-flowing, out-from-the-back, 'band of brothers' style...

    [Misc] Forum and sub-forums - Covid Good News

    It's generally a thread of good, helpful and (on the whole) well-informed news to help us all get some perspective when it's been too easy to allow the negative side of things - amplified by much of the media - to overwhelm our thinking. It seems important to keep that going to me, as this...

    [Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

    Maybe he had another top over the bib, which he'd taken off? If I am using layers, my bib often goes over a short sleeved top and under the long sleeved one. It's a nice, albeit inconsequential, story and quite a sweet photo. I like Bielsa. He seems to be a good coach and an interesting...

    Trump

    Brexit was only ever a means to an end, a great way to play two groups against each other and provide a route to victory. Worked a treat too (thanks more to idiot, obessive, remainers more than anyone else in my book). Brexit was not the point. The lies are the point. Destroy the truth, control...

    Indeed. For those that have made the (correct) decision not to bother reading it, Neville's Breakfast has provided a near perfect précis: 'the same old crap but longer'

    Trump

    As we have discovered, attempting a 'straight bat' when one side is pumping out very deliberate lies is itself a form of bias. This I think is where the probem lies. Independent studies after the last election showed that one side (go on...have a guess...) lied a LOT more than the other, but the...

    Trump

    I don't think that the BBC necessarily lean to the right on purpose. But there is a lot of in-built bias in their staff and management (including the subconscious pressure exerted by knowing their licence fee is under threat) and when one side (Cummings, we are looking at you) is putting out a...

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly

    I like Aaron Connolly very much. Tough little f*cker and even when he wasn't scoring he worked his socks off and helped the team hugely. Got his head screwed on by the sound of it, and with the attitude he's shown I am sure he'll only get better. Would love to see Molumby and White get the same...

    [Football] Ben White - Sings new FOUR year deal.

    Can't argue with that though. I mean, its not like there is zero additional information or insight of any kind. Or that they may as well just have asked a random person to write an opinion based on reading the internet. No, he's been 'reading between the lines' so you so have to respect what...
