Move him upstairs? That's so 1990s. Perhaps they liked how many letters he replied to and see more value in him being in an admin role.

I'd be surprised if the over 70s have any feeling left in their arms with the amount of vaccine updates they'll need in the next 3 years

I've moved further out twice and getting further away each time. Gradual retreat for me. I think the place is perfect for 25-30, assuming you have no kids. Diversity in everything. Met and worked with people from every corner of the earth. I'm not sure I'd want to be there at 21. There are better cities for that age and I'm almost certain it's not the place to bring up kids.

I used to pay about 65-70% of my salary to rent what you might call a box in zone 2. I don't regret it one bit. If I was younger and at a different life stage to right now I'd do it all again. London isn't perfect, there's a lot to have a pet peeve about, but if you are a young single professional its the place to be. There's many different London's though, this is a specific one. It's a very different world for those who come to London on a poor wage with few prospects, or the blue collar workers who come to make money and leave. And many other worlds in the city.

Can only wish everyone dressed smart like that and cars weren't all kinds of bright colours and odd shapes.

Good news you haven't got covid. Bad news you won't walk straight for a week.

They did the same with John Carver. It ended up going down to the last game of the season with Gutierrez keeping us up. It doesn't surprise me one bit the club hierarchy are league table pundits. It's the same level of insight you get from the likes of Jamie Redknapp and Mark Lawrenson.

Press were banned under McClaren but that wasn't his choice.

Elected leaders aren't responsible for much other than money allocation and that's exactly how it is supposed to be in this situation. Anything else is words not actions, for the only International action from government leaders is money. They have little else. That's the point of the World Health Organisation. They collate expertise and lead it, what we don't need is someone like Johnson or Macron playing to their domestic galley. There is no scruff of the neck. If there is a problem with the way WHO are doing things then that is likely to be nuanced and complicated. No one's interested in learning what's going on at the WHO, it's boring to 99.9%. You're most likely to hear from the WHO themselves when it's time for national governments to step up and where exactly they need that to be. They're not shy of speaking their mind.

It already exists. Lead by the WHO. The UK government (Bank of England) has already pledged $250m, ECB €500m. $2bn raised so far overall is considered $4.6bn too short. Money shouldn't be much of an object here. Efficiency and competence will be. The early warnings are also vaccine hoarding by wealthy nations. Expectation is west will try and counter the hoarding by planning to give their surpluses away for free next year. Talk of Johnson, Churchill, Hitler, the EU etc is simply viewing the world through a broken lens.

Agree to an extent however geography may well be an important factor. Where the virus is most prevalent it is most likely to mutate and spread beyond. In effect the age hierarchy might not be the most ethical or the best way to reduce death. Allowing the virus to rip through under 50s could be a catastrophic mistake. One of the potential downsides to vacinnating first is that it could just come back mutated in a years time from somewhere else on the planet. Would under 40s in hot spots be willing to remain in lockdown until we have over 50s everywhere in the world vaccinated?

I don't get it because he's also said it was all his fault and he got the selection wrong. He's the Boris Johnson of football, all over the place, full of contradictions and clichés

What was he doing with 10 oxygen cylinders in the first place?

Depends what you're measuring on. Trump was an absolute nothing President. Most likely because it was all about him.

To be fair if you banned him while President there would be consequences for your business. That's what he is like. He would use his powers for revenge, the man child that he is.

Dont think we can know for sure but they probably preferred to put testing resource elsewhere and are doing it now because of the South African strain. The number of people entering the UK at the different times of the pandemic has reportedly been fluctuating from 10,000 to 50,000 per day.

If kids are failed by anything, if they've lost something substantial, it's down to a lack of creative thinking in the education sector hierarchy and education policy. There's so many creative solutions to negate the situation that can be considered. More than just open the schools, close the schools, wear a mask, cancel exams. First time around the lack of creativity could be forgiven. This time? Don't think so. You've had months to prepare. Months of bad decisions like full class sizes.

Shops turn them away on entry I presume? Or are they not monitoring the doors anymore.

It shouldn't be. There were no restrictions at all a month before the April peak. Whereas this time there has been significantly reduced socialisation, in virus hotbed London around 70% don't go to work. The amount of human interactions is much lower, even with restriction fluctuations. What is the one major similarity between the two periods prior to the peak? Secondary schools open. Very little else is the same. Could be a coincidence but unlikely.

Jesus

It is entirely being used to justify the creation of tier 4, without it the powers that be would need to admit the original tier system was a load of shite or badly deployed. London had 30,000 cases in a week whilst in Tier 2. Wtf was London doing in Tier 2 long enough to get that? Tier 3 was probably never going to work for something as out of control as that. Sadiq Khan and South East Conservative MP's making out that London was too important for tier 3 are at least partly at fault. Even if the decision wasn't with them.

I agree we have everything to learn from the East, but the point I'm getting at is that the difference is the virus didn't go through their population. Not that the virus went through their population and they were just healthier. There's a reason it didn't go through it and that's what we have to learn. I don't think we can start to play the freedom request card when we haven't learned how to stop it spreading in the first place.

Japan and South Korea same age rates if not older.
