Figures are generally lower on a Monday as reports get lost on a Sunday,if tomorrow's figures are good then we might have something to cheer about. I thought it was only deaths that were lower on Monday because most don't get recorded at the weekend. You may well be right Dave, I dont believe any of the figures anyway. I am sure Hans Christian Anderson is in charge of them

On the basis of current numbers, there is a strong case for letting the NLS go ahead with the pre agreed crowds. Many NLN clubs appear to be in 'hotspots' however.

I’ve seen figures showing northern areas with ten times the number of cases than In the south. Even then it’s tiny numbers with even tinier hospitalisation and deaths.

Brent council cases are 4 times higher per 100000 at 41 compared to 10 per 100000 in Maidstone Absolute numbers. Brent council is 136 in total affected with Covid last week 8 times higher the than Maidstones 17 We play Hendon in the Brent council area Saturday (hopefully). Stay safe

I am sure Hans Christian Anderson is in charge of them I think cheering 4000-5000 new infections is going a bit strong. Such an optimist swordy, you must be wearing those rose tinted spectacles again Whether we are in a spike or 2nd wave, this saga has got a long way to run Sadly, it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Not sure I was actually cheering the figures but I have noticed they are usually lower on a Monday. If tomorrows figures show 4000,its a result at this moment in time but I fully expect the new cases to be between 6-7000 which is not good at all. You must be the only person on this forum who thinks I am an optimist and as for rose tinted specs, I lost them years ago.

nws quit whining for heavens sake. The country voted for Brexit and then confirmed it by overwhelmingly electing the only Brexit party. You are in the minority and are getting boring = get over it. This is a football forum not a political forum. Take your whinging to facebook if you feel compelled to let others know your feelings. We welcome your comments about MUFC just leave it at that. Yes. 48% 'overwhelmingly' voted for Brexit-supporting parties (there were two BTW not one). Good maths. The fact that you voted for a deal sold as fantastic which has been subsequently ripped up makes it more laughable. What did you make of this sentence? (I highlighted the relevant bit for you). " This ain't about brexit or left v right wing. It is about honesty and reality. We are getting more and more unrest. They are ruining our society" A few days ago you were only too happy to wade in and show how little you knew about things (and again here it seems). Now, as the news gets more and more embarrassing you don't want people chatting about it. I get it. However, I was pointing out that the people in charge are corrupt, incompetent and are ruining things. A better performance on covid-19 rather than an ostrich approach followed by constant knee-jerk and lack of planning policy might have seen us watching football. So yes, you got your precious brexit that was so underwhelmingly voted for (on the basis of fish and blue passports) but, in the process, gave us the worst government in living history. Their hopeless performance so far is having a big effect on MUFC and our ability, as fans, to go watch. Congrats.

He never puts anything on Facebook just makes us suffer on here. Suffer. You poor old sausage. Anyway 10% of people said they liked my posts so you are in a massive minority using pigbag's maths.

I don't trust the figures either, but that's not because I believe in any conspiracy, it's just that I don't think the way the figures are collected (and defined) is reliable - and I'm not convinced that the current figures are directly comparable to those of April and May (too much has changed since - e.g. testing). But, if I'm right, it doesn't necessarily mean that today's figures are wrong - it could be that they are more accurate than earlier in the year. Who knows?
But, on a purely personal level, I knew of no one, except Dave's daughter, who had had the virus back in the Spring/early summer, whereas this time around I know of quite a few. I suspect this is because my wife is back at work and the kids are back at school, so I'm just more aware of people getting the infection. Or it could be, of course, that it's because people are back at work/school the infection rate is bound to increase.
Whatever. But, anyone who is trying to convince themselves that this isn't really happening, or is nothing to worry about, is daydreaming. I haven't relaxed my personal strategies for avoiding Covid since March, and I certainly won't be for the next few months.

Start of Scottish Highland League to be delayed & league action won't commence until 28 Nov ( at the earliest ):
' The Highland League @scottishhfl The Highland League has decided to pause the start of the 2020-2021 season in view of the current public health circumstances.
The season will not start before Saturday 28th November and confirmation of that or an extension of the pause will be considered at a meeting week beginning Monday 9th November.
The League Management Committee undertook a careful and detailed consideration of the current situation and felt that, all things considered, a pause was the most appropriate course of action '
A good thread following this tweet ( see @scottishhfl ), points out the folly of part time players mixing during soccer and then going back to day jobs ( incl teachers, police etc. ) where they could further spread any virus.

St Albans can't afford to start without fans / income:
' Ollie Bayliss @ollie_Bayliss · 16m St Albans City owner Lawrence Levy on @bbc3cr ...
“We would not be able to afford to kick off the season if there’s no income coming in.”
“We are more than just a business, we are a community asset.”
“I would support weekly Covid testing if there’s was a way of funding it. '

Only 4 days to go now, and still no one seems to have the foggiest idea of what is or isn't happening.
Mind you, that's perfectly understandable, it's not like we've had over half a year to plan for this...

One of the very few sensible things Boris has said recently is "brace yourself for more restrictions until the end of March, at least"... I'm kind of resigned to that - though there has to come a time when it's just treated as a permanent / recurring phenomenon like flu (with, as has been said before, 1000s of deaths every year)? I've just put myself off my lunch with the thought of Boris saying "brace yourself", but that's another matter.

I've just put myself off my lunch with the thought of Boris saying "brace yourself", but that's another matter. The main problem with this virus is that all the so called leading experts are giving out conflicting views, which tells me that no one really knows enough about the virus which makes you think that all the vaccines that are being tested are pie in the sky and could have no impact on the virus at all. Whilst this government maybe completely inept the problem with all these measures is the complete disregard to them by a majority of people who seem to think that they are immune to the virus or that it won't impact them, however these in most cases, are the numpties who are causing the continued spread as even though they may not die from the virus, they are passing it onto others and have no regard for other peoples well being.

I don't disagree with on the personal responsibility point. However (there is usually one with me), there has been a continual plethora of refusal to obey rules at the top (the most obvious being Dominic Cummings insulting explanation of his transgression) and the rules becoming more and more bizarre (seven kids can't feed the ducks but 30 blokes can shoot them or a virus that only operates after 10). These have helped lead to people stopping listening, allowing the government to blame the public. So yes, it is incumbent upon individuals to take personal responsibility but, sadly, this is to fill the vacuum left by government policy and not to support government policy.
