I didn't know you were Cockney. Enjoy. 

Adrian Chiles is standing in for Nicky Campbell on the 5Live phone-in this morning. he just had a guy on who said he was having all his family around for Christmas as he does every year.
None of them were vaxxed or have been tested and when asked if he didn't think he was putting his mother at risk said, and I poo you not, 'You're hardly likely to give it to the woman who gave birth o you, are you?'
That level of stupidity is difficult to comprehend.

I'd love to know the science behind the 500 number.
Just a completely random figure plucked out of thin air.

I realise that, but we have to accept that deaths have plummeted.
My wife is on her way home from the hospital after having a test because she's got a sore throat, her glands are up and a bit of a cough.
She's going to try and run a clinic from home on the phone and she's in this weird twilight world and has been for almost 2 years, so I'm not saying we should be relaxing things, I'm saying we should recognise when things change.
I also think way too many people are boxed in to one way of thinking now and will just ignore anything that may throw a different light on things.

People who are anti-vax and anti-mask irritate and annoy me because they are making it harder for the NHS, thats unequivocal. But from a death/serious illness perspective things are vastly improved.
What that actually means is open to debate though.

I'd rather a consensus of scientists tell Boris what he should do, just like somebody should tell him looking like a tramp isn't endearing.
IF the most eminent scientists cannot agree, then let the Government decide based on rock, paper, scissors or whatever else it is they use.
I understand scientists cannot literally make the decisions and everything they do is advisory, but I trust them a whole lot more than the people who do have the power.
Do you know how many NHS staff are off work because of Covid? I know anecdotally from my wife, it's a lot.
A 5% increase don't seem a lot (although I don't really know how that pans out, it's just a random figure to me because I'm not a scientist), but if that's coupled with 10% ill or isolating, then all of a sudden that's a lot more concerning.
Then you can add on top of that all the procedures they are trying to get in that didn't get in last winter and you can kinda see why people who work in the health sector are gravely concerned.
Literally every type of government left and right and scientists from every country (except maybe North Korea) on the planet are concerned, yet there's people who know nothing about the finer details saying they're all overreacting.
It would be like 50 mechanics telling me that my cars about to run out of oil but my mate Dave who's a fishmonger and hasn't checked the dipstick saying 'you'll be alright mate, trust me'
 

I don't Have a clue, I'm 100% if favour of letting the scientists tell the Government what to do.
It would seem apparent that some people think that there was some crying of wolf over the NHS collapsing last winter, when it kinda almost did.
But it's like a boxer that's been hammered to the canvas and is groggily getting up, it's not going to take much to knock it back down again.
The entire NHS is worn down and people are dying because of that and other people will die because they don't get needed treatment.

It is if you consider that the underlying reason given for the increased restrictions is to protect the NHS. Every single person who refuses the vacine increases their own likelihood of getting a more serious health issue if they contract the virus - thereby needing more help from the NHS to combat the symptoms - thereby increasing the pressure on the NHS.
The more people who are vacinated, the less people that will be needing enhanced care if they contract the virus - that means less pressure on the NHS and less justification for restrictions......

Yes, you missed there were zero deaths from the 28 days leading up to December 20th in Derby.
Come on man, don't make me do you work for you.

Lies, damn lies and statistics.  Context is all - are Arthur and Jim really only our 11th and 12th best managers?  I think most of us, even those not alive in those days, would have both in our top 4, for what they achieved over a long period of time.
Whatever else our Wayne has done or not done I cannot recall a single Derby manager having to face all the on and off field issues that he has had to face, and not over a short period of time either.  That he has done so with some success (and I include staying up last season as success), with a commitment that I didn't believe he would show and a drive and determination that all of our younger players would do well to note and apply during their own careers and I have him way up the list.  Add some onfield success and he will be in the top 5.

Not quite as simple as that. The problem with how fast this version is spreading is the impact on services generally.  So many people being sick at the same time could lead to no ambulance crews or firefighters to answer emergency calls. No food in the supermarkets. And so on. It's the government's job to manage the peak so it doesn't come to that and keep things running as smoothly as possible.
I'd love for them to leave us alone too, but the reality is that we live in a massively interconnected society. We aren't self sufficient. We depend on all these other hidden people to supply our daily necessities.
Gotta keep that system running or we are all in even more serious trouble 

I have this ready to go. LOVED the first 2 seasons and I hear the finale for this season was standout.
I know I said it before, but the scriptwriting is so clever and the acting is top-drawer whilst reaming deliberately tongue-in-cheek.
But much as I love it, I really cannot wait for this to drop on Saturday!
 

Every anti vaxxer has a triple jabbed mate who has Covid. What are the odds? It's like anti vaxxers who know people who died after having the vaccine.
