37BN, is a lot entire NHS budget pre Covid was c. 150BN.
It thats enough context. It would cover the club's debt, buy back the stadium, get us 2 a couple of decent wingers. Not sure about the plaza though.
 

Would probably just have been easier to admit that you'd repeated something that has been proven to be complete nonsense?

Archied if you have lung cancer you are already very ill, you really really do not want to get covid. You should take every possible measure to avoid it regardless of the fact you know nobody that has been seriously ill within your circle. 
 
More than 300 thousand people a week are testing positive and that figure is still rising. We are also trying to achieve herd immunity. It is extremely likely that anyone who is not shielding will contract covid at some point if they haven’t already. We should personally take every possible measure to protect those that need protecting. 
 
I understand your annoyance with the general government message of fear.

However replying to someone who is quite obviously extremely concerned for their clinically vulnerable family member in the way you did was in my opinion done in poor taste.
I mean you could of posted that message anytime to anyone but you chose to directly reply to the one person suffering from lung cancer. 

Erm my mistake ,, your right ,how could I have possibly picked up from the antics of the last 1 and a half years that we are all possible killers and everyone is at high risk of death rather than a balanced view that an elderly person with co morbidity s is at high risk whilst the vast vast vast majority of people ( around 99 percentage? ) will get minor or no symptoms, explains the massive ad campaign 
explain the vids that were put out to us at the very start of Chinese people falling flat on their faces in the street being surrounded and picked up by people in hazmat suits ,, phoney garbage which is nothing like the virus we have seen 
we are now being prepped for the FOURTH WAVE ( third over ?) and yet I still do not know a single person who has died from or been seriously ill covid and neither do the fairly large circle of our friends and workmates ,,,, that does not mean there’s no virus or that said virus doesn’t kill some but it certainly doesn’t reflect the virus being pumped out day after day 

EFL charge sheet meeting.

I am not in principle against this suspended sanction, and it just serves as a reminder to ensure we don't let it happen again.
However, I fail to see how it is fair for us to be deducted three points for a second breach, when Sheffield Wednesday have not been deducted any points for four consecutive breaches. Where is the consistency in that? 
I don't want to see SW being deducted points either, but this does seem to me like Derby being treated more harshly than another club.

That is the choice we have. Never wear a mask again after a week on Monday, or have one stapled to your face for eternity. 

Would you go and visit an elderly relative if you had a bad cold or the flu?
Ever since I was young I knew it was common sense not to be near the vulnerable whilst infectious. 

Why does it have to be 'the rest of your life'? Rather than just sometimes, when it seems necessary!

FWIW

Yeah you definitely don’t have to spend the rest of your life wearing a mask. 

For the limited time you may spend around the vulnerable whilst cases are still rising and folk are still being vaccinated it makes complete sense to wear a mask though. 
 

Having a father in law who is currently recovering from his second lung cancer operation is the exact time you should fear covid and take all possible precautions to prevent passing on an infection to him. 

Let’s be honest Archied if you had lung cancer then you really don’t want to be getting Covid. 
 
I would be distraught if I passed on an infection to a clinically vulnerable person because I didn’t take simple precautions.
 

 
 

Why do the elderly and vunerable get offered flu jabs every year then? What have they to fear? Look at the figures for the stats on the majority of those who died from covid - it's not the young! And covid isn't flu it's worse!

Granny killa!
I know the track and trace app isn't great, but look, it hardly cost anything right?
I really want to know how it's possible to spend so much on something that looks fairly basic.
It's budget is 37 billion over 2 years.
If the people working on it were being paid a ridiculous salary of 250k per year, or 500k over 2 years, then they could afford to employ 74,000 people on that salary.
Can anyone see any reason why the costs are so high? Just need to keep a record of devices a person has been close too via blutooth with a few metrics like time and distance.
Then when one of those devices links to a positive test, run a model to decide who to ping.
37 billion! As this government report says, the annual budget for transport is 22 billion. Building and repairing transport infrastructure seems like it would be a pretty expensive business. Building an app like this seems trivial in comparison.

Is this the biggest scandal of Covid?

You say that 'We are very robust creatures who build our immunity through catching stuff...' 
If I catch Covid I will probably be ok, despite being middle-aged. If I contract the virus and pass it on (unknowingly) to my elderly mum she might die. I know that there is a limited chance of this happening as we have all been vaccinated, but the chance is still there and I will do anything to protect her.
My father in law has just come out of hospital after having a second operation for lung cancer in 4 years. Again, we will take all possible precautions to keep him safe. This includes wearing a face mask whenever in close contact with others, especially in the supermarket. It won't stop us from going on long walks in the countryside, distancing in restaurants etc. But it means that we will be extra careful whilst not fully isolating. We have to get on with our lives but we have to be ultra careful when we are with vulnerable members of our families. The immune system is a wonderful piece of kit as you say, but it is very fragile inthe elderly and those suffering from cancer. My mum and my father in law are far from being robust creatures.

Got pinged by the app today & told to isolate for 3 days instead of 10, so the exposure must have been when I went out for a few beers in Lincoln a week ago. 
 
Double jabbed and negative lateral flow result this afternoon. 
 
Isolating? Bugger that. 

Best thing ever in Bosch series 7. Detective describing a woman gang boss: "she looks like a banker, like a female Stringer Bell. From The Wire. Did you watch it?" Other detective replies "Yeah, I binged it".
The actor who replied is Marlo from The Wire.

Rubbish joke

A mate of mine lived on the same street as him and reckoned that this lad dobbed him in to the council over leaving his bins out.
He was wrong though - it turned out that the grass wasn't Greener

Up The Rams. 

Lots of promising news in the article including;
- Those ending up in hospital seem to be less sick, and need less intensive treatment.
- In January about one in 60 cases resulted in someone dying. Today it's fewer than one in 1,000.
