Good job we all had Italy, France and Spain to look to to make considered decisions.

Yep, the whole back catalogue

I don't have an issue with the phased approach of the move towards lockdown. But I have felt all along the government were too slow to get started and would have protected more people had they looked at what was going on and acted quickly. There was that pointless business as usual phase.

Welcome to our three new runners ???

I'm guessing most people's running clubs are on hold so our OTIB group's virtual club could come in handy. Maybe we can organise an OTIB run in April/May, all virtually of course (we'll probably be just going around the block 100 times by then!) What do we think about running with others? I'm joining a mate on sunday but thinking I'll stay a metre apart when running. We can still chat and run that way.

But the dilemna is that if a relative of yours passed away as a result of these workers spreading the virus you might have a different view. Tricky innit.

That data is probably already out there. Doesn't sound like a difficult comparison if someone wanted to do it.

Ultimately the government's approach will be judged on the UK death toll versus other nations such as France and Germany. It'll be a long time before we can apply this comparison though.

I can confirm that Sainos are limiting sales of milk, and even bottles of wine, but that there are no limits on beer and cider. Fill your boots and and you'll barely even notice lockdown...

Is anyone else hearing rumours of total lockdown this week (and the 'royal' bloke dead)

And that's the approach needed to get sports back on

Oh, Charlton, the game where our players took a lead then seemed to become fatigued and weakened and ended up losing and going on a horrible run... I'm not blaming you, but questions have to be asked...

So YOU were the one that started it. Finally, someone to blame!!

Yeah and I have two thoughts about that. Firstly, it sounds dystopian. Secondly, maybe we should be taken more stringent measures in line with other countries.

And people think our Gov't has finally taken the required measures... In France you will be fined for leaving the home for unnecessary reasons. Either they're going OTT, or we are being put at risk by our lawmakers. Time will tell.

Here's another analogy... Lee Johnson decides he's going to play only 2 defenders in his line up, when all other clubs play 3, 4 or 5 defenders. Naturally, half the fans are saying 'hang on, that leaves us exposed at the back!' Now Lee might have uncovered a genius tactic that goes on to be successful, but it's rational to wonder if he's got his coaching all wrong.

Well certainly I don't think you are irrational, but it does surprise me that you don't see a curiosity there at the very least? You've got 10 leaders taking scientific advice. 8 interpret it one way, and 2 another way. We are one of the two (in this simplification). Isn't it normal to say, hang in, what do those 8 know that we don't?!

The world has taken a very strange turn, that's for sure. If you'd have told me in 2015 that within 5 years we'd have a pandemic requiring global isolation for a year minimum, Boris as PM, Trump as Pres, Brexit, and that Southgate would have taken England to a world cup semi final with Lingard, Trippier and Maguire proving to be key players, well I'd have laughed hysterically, then screamed for medication...

Congrats to both of you. Your kids will never fully appreciate the strange year that they were born into!

Well it's 100% not point scoring for British people to question why this government has taken a different approach to the vast majority of leading nations. You'd be irrational if you weren't concerned by that.

My mrs can't go to the Magic Mike show anymore. Spare a thought for her!

Interesting. How does one emigrate?

Does the fact that North Korea has recorded 0 cases prove that isolationism is a great idea after all?

Like with the sports events, the govt are putting the onus on the populous. Seems a bit odd...

Give him chance. We've had year on year improvements and currently in 7th...
