He’s done really well for himself since retiring from the game. Lots of ex-players struggle when they’re no longer involved in football but not Matt.
That’s an excellent synopsis, yes.
Genuinely don’t think there’ll be any return to the tier system. They had their fingers burnt with it last year (especially in the north west with...
Definitely. We’re in a very different position this winter vs last winter, largely because of the impact of the vaccination programme. And the...
Interestingly we’re not seeing Omicron replace Delta at the moment, rather we’re seeing it on top of Delta, which is possibly a reason we’re...
You don’t have to isolate as a contact if you’re double jabbed but are advised to do a daily lateral flow for 7 days.
The numbers are usually people in hospital with COVID rather than because of COVID. Its hard to count those in hospital because of COVID, mainly...
To be fair, if you’re a minister making decisions, asking what the ‘reasonably worst case scenario’ looks like is sensible. You’d want to know...
Flu’s much less infectious than COVID though. I think the general R rate of flu is about 1.5 in a normal year (i.e. 10 people with flu will infect...
Flu cases were low last year because all the measures in place to combat COVID (social distancing, masks, lockdowns, tier 3 restrictions before...
Yeah I think they’re both imperfect solutions, which is probably why we’re using both (and which doesn’t add up to a perfect solution). I suppose...
Dunno. I’m sure they will have done but I haven’t seen it. I’d imagine testing’s a tricky one to assess given it’s self administered so you’d have...
I think the strategy is one of risk reduction. There’s some evidence that vaccination does reduce spread but there’s very strong evidence that it...
There are very few occasions when cheese and wine are a bad idea. Zoom quiz optional.
Probably. It’ll be a few more weeks before it’s definitive though. It’s almost certainly more transmissible since we wouldn’t be seeing the level...
Sorry, I probably didn’t write that very clearly. I meant no links to travel from countries in Southern Africa. With the earliest omicron cases in...
Current numbers in this country are underreported because we aren’t sending all positive tests for sequencing, so numbers likely to increase (in...
[ATTACH] Not a massive surprise. Better red than dead eh?
Download the pass in the comfort of your own home and then take a screenshot of it. The pic should work the same as the actual pass itself. That...
Yep I think* for those people who get sterilising antibodies it basically means that as soon as the virus lands in your mouth/nose/eyes your body...
