Why The F*ck Is Boris Having To Self Isolate Again?

0.0007% FFS.......think about that figure for a while before answering!

Before you get too dismissive of the numbers:

Firstly, it's 0.07%, not 0.0007%

Secondly, virtually all the Covid-related deaths have been of people aged 45 and over, so the 50,000 is out of a population of about 40 million not 65, so about 0.12%

To put this into context: Picture yourself sitting at The Shrine on a normal match day before all this happened. You can see about 25,000 fans packed in there. Statistically, 30 of the people you could see will have already died of the virus, and the number is still rising.

So yes, I've thought about it. From where I'm sitting, as a member of the "extremely vulnerable" category, it looks anything but insignificant.

Just saying.

Well said OldThrostle. Some of the posts on this football forum from our self taught expert doctors are incredible. Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion but I know who I will believe.

Yes some great posts. I too despair of the 'experts' on here who think they have all the answers when they know nothing.
