This is why people need to do their research before becoming hysterical. Looks like the north east will be the first part of the economy to collapse. Pubs and restaurants under restrictions and people naturally go out to meet friends and family. Now that it is illegal the north east hospitality sector might as well shut down now!

wealdstone Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 It is not just about people dying which is bad enough, but long term possibly life long effects on those that have recovered. Seems to me we should realize this is a previously unknown variant of the Covid strain which is evolving all the time. Probably we will have to learn to live with it for the foreseeable future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 71 deaths in uk last 24 hours, largest number since July 1st. If cases have been doubling each week for couple weeks it’s obvious to me that deaths are likely to increase shortly after, People mixing without social distancing/facemasks etc, simply ignoring advice and now legislation merely because they don’t want to conform is shouting out “I could t give a monkeys about anyone else, I will do what I want, it’s all about me, me, me”. Hospitals will be overrun, staff will be in danger, all because of selfish self centred people. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been another 7,143 cases of coronavirus reported in the UK in the last 24 hours - the biggest rise since the pandemic began. 71 coronavirus-related deaths have also been recorded - the highest number since 1 July. The significant rise in COVID-19 cases comes after the number of positive tests fell at the weekend, with Monday's figure at 4,044 cases.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Average number of smoking related deaths each day in the UK - 213 Also a further 11 per day attributed to passive smoking Remind me when was smoking made illegal? Oh it hasn't- why not then given those numbers? Lost tax revenue is the often used arguement but that surely cant be so anymore given the cost so far (and continuing) 'dealing' with the current situation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 A £300m rescue package covering eleven professional sports has been announced, other than both rugby codes, basketball and netball I can’t find details in the sports covered, I wonder if speedway will be one of the beneficiaries?

Bryce Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 The only motor sport interests listed are the owners of the likes of Silverstone and Goodwood. No speedway included as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
