The government have ordered 50 million immunity tests. First million expected early summer. Will cost £10 to get tested. Pin prick of blood required, then device will tell you within 20 minutes if you have been heavily exposed to a 5G mast had coronavirus.

The dog did not bother to turn up

Newport and Sunderland makes sense somewhat in theory. Large number of jobs people can't work from home.

Sunderland Echo. Infection rate to population. https://www.sunderlandecho.com/health/coronavirus/sunderland-has-highest-number-coronavirus-cases-population-england-what-experts-say-could-be-behind-2549447

Highest infection rates in UK right now are in Cardiff, Newport and Sunderland.

Is that another Twitter rumour like the one the other week that Prince Philip had died?

Not since Screaming Lord Sutch died anyway?

priceless

Always a shortcut wasn't it? Human trials of covid-19 specific vaccine started in the UK the other day. 800 participants to be injected, half with vaccine, half with meningitis vaccine, with the exception that 2 American participants will have their lungs injected with bleach instead.

Could just play the games on @DeadLinesman 's street. No lockdown in place there and good quality camera footage available.

Deaths in UK is 41000 above the average for previous 5 years.

what the hell

In stitches. At both them and the image of you peeping through your curtains to get that snap love it

Fake news thinkers more like. Bill Gates did not say it, fact checked here https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bill-gates-vaccinations-depopulation/

BeIN Sport, owned by PSG chief exec have written to the Premier League asking them to refuse the Suadi takeover of Newcastle United.

It took a global pandemic to shift Ashley. Most likely cashing out so he can buy up businesses on the brink.

The strategy noises from the media are that £150-200m will be put in for the first 3 years and if the club and team progresses they'll keep doing that in 3 year cycles. It's also been noted that commercial revenue can increase by £50m a year eventually even without a fake sponsorship deal because that part of the business has been ran so poorly.

It is a thing for some people but it's not a big enough thing to be that detrimental. Bolo Zenden went to Chelsea over us because of it. Not that I mind in hindsight we got a much better player in Laurent Robert instead. If someone doesn't want to be a millionaire in the North East you have to question what exactly is it that they want to get up to in their spare time. Is it for their bored housewife who wants to buy Gucci bags everyday. Success depends on the success of the manager and director of football. With Steve Bruce as manager and Nikos Dabizas as Director of Football I think we would easily bypass Arsenal within 12 months

I don't know whether capacity can be increased at SJP as Mike Ashley sold the land around it and pocketed the money for himself. However we could fill a 60k stadium with the right price structure. In general the facilities within the ground need upgrading. Where I had a season ticket the toilets hadn't been upgraded since Euro 1996. There was a poster on the wall of Kevin Nolan and Alan Smith years after both left the club. The roof is getting covered in moss and dirt which doesn't get cleaned anymore. A shockingly poor quality big screen was put up next to the away fans. With VAR announced on screens the majority of the ground and most expensive seats can't see a screen. These are minor points but necessary fixes. The training ground facilities are notoriously the worst in the league. They haven't been upgraded in a long time because the argument was that it made no difference to performance. You may recall a picture of our players standing in wheelie bins filled with ice and having a paddling pool from Argos. Part of academy investment I believe is about connection in the local community. Providing good quality places for kids to play more than just the 11 players you put out in the under 14s league. Will it lead to more players coming through? Maybe. The Longstaff brothers are our first product since Dummett came through several years ago if we discount Adam Armstrong. Is their success because of our academy or is genetics and family playing a big role? They are the nephews of former Celtic winger Alan Thompson. But we also have to consider how much academy damage was done by the racist bully Peter Beardsley?

Well Jamie Rueben will leave QPR board to be on Newcastle board, maybe he can bring Sir Les with him. In other news Nikos Dabizas wants to be our Director of Football Daily Mail report Yasir Al-Rumayyan will be Chairman. He's also on the board at Uber. The document submitted to the Premier League reportedly outlines plans for big investment in SJP, the academy and the team in 3 year stages.

Do you know why?

@Inti Brian what's this gender distancing they have in Peru instead of social distancing?

Mundo Deportivo, Spanish newspaper, reporting that Arturo Vidal sees Newcastle as having a 'very attractive growth plan' and he'd be up for joining when we appoint Allegri as manager Could he get our possession up from 23% to 33%?

Only just got email myself. Meanwhile A “best case scenario” being worked on by the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) hopes to end lockdown restrictions for certain non-essential shops and industries in the short-term, from early to mid-May. Some social distancing measures could then gradually be relaxed in the medium-term, in June and July, eventually leading to the reopening of pubs and restaurants towards the end of the summer. Long-term “shielding” for elderly and vulnerable people could mean the public being told they face limits on seeing over-70s parents or grandparents for as long as 12-18 months until a vaccine is found. The timeline relies on SAGE scientists calculating how many new COVID-19 infections per day the UK’s test and trace capabilities can manage, and an “impossible” political decision for Downing Street on how many deaths per day they are willing to accept in order to be able to lift some restrictions before there is a vaccine
