Workington Town are doing that every Sunday, with directors, coaches and players joining in to take questions etc. The fans can buy virtual pints on the club website which is basically a donation to the club in order to join in.

Exiled Townie Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Had to go to the Lister Hospital at Stevenage for a long standing appointment yesterday. Drove up the A1 from St Albans to Stevenage at 2pm, 15 miles, hardly a car on the road. Got to hospital and as the examination suite had been relocated I was taken to the new venue by a porter. We went down corridor after corridor packed with boxes of equipment. I saw rubber gloves, face masks, disposable gowns, disposable cubicle curtains and dozens more items all in hundreds and hundreds of boxes, floor to ceiling, lining the corridors. After the examination, I was chatting to the consultant, and he was pretty pee'd off with the public in general. He said that he had been to several virus conferences lately and in his opinion (and that of a lot of other high ranking medical personnel) if most people followed the scientific advice about social distancing the virus would not only be in a position to be controlled, but the death rate would be kept considerably lower.

It is now a term of abuse that both towns of West Cumbria use for each other especially at Workington/Whitehaven rugby league derby matches.

The porter told me the hospital stores were full and these were the overflow as they had nowhere to put them. Mind you, they should have a lot laying about as all routine operations and examinations had been cancelled, and there were signs up saying that as of yesterday, no visitors were being allowed to any patient in any ward.

You are either lieing or living in a bubble. There was far more than a couple on the ITV documentary that has just been on. Did you not see that? I must see or hear at least a dozen a day in the widespread coverage. I personally know 6 who work in the NHS who all complain about shortages, I must tell them that they are making it up.
