Oh that's good, we have replaced the 34 year old Carson with 35 year old Marshall. I was hoping for daddy's boy.

Think they have replaced a high wage earner by a slightly lower wage earner though VC. It would be pretty stupid had they not. Man City are probably paying a fee as well as Carson's wages.

Grant is on £30K per week at United, nice work if you can get it.

I see Brentford have signed Charlie Goode from Northampton who I mentioned a few weeks ago as one who was worth looking at. Fee of 1 million apparently. No doubt they will sell him for twenty times that in a year or two.

I thought exactly the same Vidal.

By the way, how is covid going on now? Is it safe to send children to school? I hope it is, education is the most important thing for people.

School in Dundee, 17 staff caught Covid-19. Doesn't look good for reopening schools.

What the hell were they doing? Spart we must get children back to school and others back to work. Old folk like me and thee should look after ourselves.

It is a special needs school so distancing is more difficult. Think they will have to allow teachers with any vulnerability stay home until such time as this virus is controlled.

As we don't have the imperative to get people qualified early nowadays I am not too bothered that schools don't open. There are more ways to learn than sitting in a class room. I don't think I ever learned much from attending school. Plus it makes getting anywhere in a morning much easier.

I have registered as a volunteer for the vaccine research programme.

VC, since you ask, from a hospital point of view Covid has pretty much disappeared. We have not had an admission in about a month with the virus. Around the country hospital admissions and deaths are very low indeed, even in those areas that have recently had an increase in infections like Leicester and Blackburn. It’s not very exciting news of course so you don’t tend to hear about it in the media.

Many people think that the virus has attenuated and become less deadly. Maybe it is because those who are now getting infected are younger and less vulnerable.

Transmission is extremely low between children and serious illness from this virus is very rare indeed in this age group so it is absolutely essential that children go to school. Some children might be OK with home schooling but not the vast majority. The only real risk in schools is from teachers and other adult staff infecting each other. They should be sensible in minimising this risk as we are who work in hospitals. We have had a mini-outbreak in my department as it happens, eight testing positive, but none too poorly and everybody else negative so it has fizzled out again.

As you say, individuals can minimise their risk by simple hygiene measures without getting overly paranoid. At present there is far, far greater harm being caused by all of the delays to diagnosis and treatment of other conditions caused by the ongoing paralysis of the NHS as a result of the pandemic than there is from the virus itself. There is an urgent need to get back to more normal life and dispense with a bit of the hysteria.

Kids going back to school, Thursday, thought I'd be sad, nah I'm over the moon, it's all about structure and then hopefully I can install some in mine.

Can't wait to try out my one plane golf swing.

To take our camp as a microcosm.
It has about 300 soldiers and about the same in civil servants and private contractors.
We have remained open and working throughout the pandemic so far.
Those who could work from home did up until the end of June when they came back and those who were told to shield came back at the beginning of August.
We have vacated one entire accommodation block and prepared it for Covid isolation as well as having staff on stand by to administrate isolating troops or living in civil servants.
We are a training school where soldiers train, including some classroom work, during the week and go home to wherever at weekends and on leave periods
In March we isolated 9 soldiers as a precaution as they had returned from a ski trip to Italy.
It turned out none had been infected.
Since then there have been zero cases. The isolation block remains empty.
When you consider that most living in soldiers/officers are between 18 and 30, the very group most likely to become infected, it seems remarkable to me that we have so far dodged coronavirus.

This virus is still infecting about a 1000 a day but no one seems to be dying from it any more. Well very few anyway. The death rate has been at normal level or slightly below since the end of June. I thought we underestimated the seriousness at the start of the pandemic but now we seem to be over reacting.

From what I've seen a couple of factors are being reported for the low death rate currently.
One is that a lot of infections are in young people who do not succumb to the disease and the second is that we are getting better at treating it so someone being admitted now is less likely to die than if they had been admitted back in March.
Vidal also mentioned that the virus itself could be becoming less deadly.

As I mentioned we have had no admissions for a month and it is similar elsewhere, so although treatment has improved this isn’t the reason for the drop in deaths as hardly anybody is currently even getting into hospital to have any treatment. In this country and in Europe it is currently behaving as a relatively harmless bug. I’m sure many of the more vulnerable are behaving in ways that give them protection which will be a part of the reason.

Spart has been proved right again...all charges against Derby have been dropped according to Percy.

Now we can get on with next season, great news.
