Sorry to hear your news Spartan. If it’s any consolation take it in that you got the chance to see him and say your farewells.

Something like this could be very effective to allow more focussed quarantine, as the Science paper suggests. Clearly reliant on much more widespread testing and on people engaging with the concept. [Link]

There has been a lot of criticism of Sports Direct, Wetherspoons, Richard Branson etc recently. I think Asda-Walmart are just as bad.

Boycotts are personal. No point trying to impose the ones you believe in on others.

My eyesight gone on the mobile with all this porn

Upsetting

Asda is the nearest supermarket to.me where the old.woodatock.pub was.dont want to walk.any further for fear of upseating the stay indoors brigade and curtain twitchers on here 😂

I need an excuse to shop in Asda lol.

The thing is with the bank loan is the club has had over 2 years to get a bank loan.

Inconsequentialism is a poor excuse.

So, according to Doobs, we are still in a good position regarding the loan. Seems it was very close to being signed but, until we know exactly when cashflow from NPL will start, finalising a loan is difficult. We are still on construction schedule for the moment but if season 2020-21 starts late and we can’t move in until, say, Sep/Oct it shouldn’t be a problem with regard to cashflow/the loan. In the meantime, construction continues as best it can. Pitch, temporary stands. Absolute worst case scenario seems to be moving in with a 5k stadium with the temp stands (which can be fitted regardless of lockdown) but the West Stand incomplete (which can’t).

Nice interview on the OS with Will Ricketts who is a Chest consultant in London. I sat next to him at Selhurst Park - great guy.

Ledd - I know we love a boycott but personally I will shop wherever is easiest, the inconvenience to go elsewhere coupled with the fact my £150 a week will make no difference to their business whatsoever.

sparta - Condolenes.

Tough to hear that Spartan. We are sorry to hear your news.

Are Wimbledon fans no longer boycotting Asda? I personally wouldn't shop there regardless. [Link]

US really getting hit badly by the virus - NY state (population 20m) has 75,000 cases - though to be fair may just be because of more testing, as their death rate vs reported cases is pretty low at 2%, rather than the 7% here.

Spit - you sure you haven’t woken up locked inside Spoons in North Cheam? 😬

Not many in the queue when we left around 4.30pm. The lady on the checkout said 6-7pm is very quiet but they now close at 8pm.

PCR: pipette a few reagents in a tube together with the sample you are testing and heat to pre-set temperatures for pre-set times and await read-out.

Right, just off to Asda in Burgh Heath - I hear they’ve got loads of bog roll and everything.... 🤪

STTA - indeed, the management of the food shopping "lockdown version" has been surprisingly efficient. Had someone in our Sainsburys say to me (from 6 feet away, naturally!), "they should retain the queue-outside approach after this is all over, much more civilised..."

Graham Stacey aka Doobs of this parish is on this evening’s 9yrs pod at 5pm to talk about the stadium etc. Direct link here [Link]

Mr. Agent - yes (but don't tell everyone)
