Non league football clubs seem to be moving to an expectation that they won't be able to restart until next year - playing behind closed doors isn't an option for them.

Yup - Hastings, for example, are among several teams taking a legal challenge to the FA because they 'voided' the season rather than deal with any promotion and relegation in the lower tiers. There do seem to be some informed voices saying that it will be public liability insurance that means that clubs at that sort of level won't be able to play again before next year - i.e. when there's something formal and followable about large gatherings. Saw that about the Bundesliga. £2.2m to be spent by them on private testing, I think I read as well. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

ckn Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 1 hour ago, Les Tonks Sidestep said: From the BBC live feed: Hopes of getting an antiviral drug to treat Covid-19 took a knock after remdesivir reportedly failed in its first randomised clinical trial. A Chinese trial showed the drug had not been successful, according to draft documents accidentally published by the World Health Organization. However, the US firm behind the drug, Gilead Sciences, said the documents had mischaracterised the study. The thing to remember is that in the US, drugs like this can be advertised to the public and they then pester their doctors for prescriptions. Many doctors then get kick-backs for certain brand prescriptions. What an independent body says is irrelevant when it comes to persuading the public to buy that drug at a grossly inflated price.

Yes they were talking of needing 20000 tests - the only prices I've seen are for South African labs which charge £50-100 per test. Unless someone comes up with a cheap and reliable test then that cost alone will make restarting many sports more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's approved for use for anything (even Ebola that it was developed to treat) at the moment so unlikely available to the general public (or even most medics). The Gilead trial extension can be viewed in 2 ways: either it's showing promise and they want more data to confirm or it's not working as thought and they're looking for another avenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it says they died with an underlying condition sometimes the person doesn’t know they have/had an underlying condition. Absolutely, one of the main risk factors is unmanaged hypertension.

I remember being at a summer bbq around 1996. The memsahib, after watching all three blokes there went and got her sphyg from the car and took the blood pressure of all three of us. John at 160/110 was the best of the three of us. I will remember my numbers.. 222/165 as long as I live. It's a wonder I didn't pop. All three of us sought treatment the following week.

ckn Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 This seems like a big jump in the Welsh deaths today, anything changed that I missed? Also, I can't work out why it wouldn't be fair to create context by making an English equivalent. Wales measures about 5.5% of England's population, that 110 deaths equals 2000 deaths in England. Again, is there anything wrong with that context?

I often think NHS should just ship them to people in the at risk age group. I take mine on a regular basis, email to the GP surgery and the Doc rings me to chat about... I always assumed that's how it worked for lots of people nowadays if not in 96.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
