In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Tearing up watching that
yea I guess. I was one of the lucky ones where that weird staple gun thing they did to your forearm first showed I didn’t need the main jab.Lots of promise there, let's hope there's something in it. The news seems to have crashed their website, so can't read the full article right now. Edit - just got the site to load.
BCG vaccinations for school children in the UK was stopped in 2005, so yeah there's a lot of unvaccinated young adults out there.

The Heaf test - your positive reaction meant you'd already been exposed to TB and had developed antibodies.
Spain and Italy took 6-7 days to get in the 600 range from the peak of 900-1000, UK is at 12 days so far.
Anyone else worried about a spike in crimes if we all have to wear face-masks?
Not a bad point, it seems homemade masks that are going to be encouraged (to protect the best ones for the NHS), so fairly soon no one will look twice at someone wearing a whole array of hand knitted mask covering most of the face, then it's certainly going to open the door to brazen crime with very little hope of using the usual ways of identifying the offender.
Raab and Whitty made it clear that we need to avoid a second peak so I think we will get another three weeks which will take us to the end of May, that ties in with finance support as well so I guess it make sense.
Saw a guy in full hazmat suit and gas mask at ASDA.

Any chance that the transition period could be extended? Or would the Tory cu.nts be too proud to ask?
Economy could do without it
Economy could do without it
How is it mental?
As a Tory we have already explicitly fecked that idea off. Cos we are fecking idiots, unfortunately. Great, innit?
We are a society that is led by people trained to lie. Not working so well at the moment. Are there apolitical things?
Wow, crazy.
I hate (strong word I know), Cameron, May, and Johnson.
The damage it's going to cause is going to be incredible. We're going to be going through the worst phase of Corona, and then drop out - at best, with a shit deal
Or kinky.
Maybe he 's infected.
What in the absolute feck? That makes no fecking sense. "If people can breathe air, then I've got to think there's a way you can fasten shin guards to your testicles and slide safely down Mount Everest." Peak whataboutism.
It's going to be fun when reality sets in, definitely.
In my opinion the masks really should only be reserved for situations where social distancing cannot be observed and/or exposure to infected individuals is high.
You prick. Tory scum wanker. Peenarse. Away and drown some more doctors and nurses you literal Hitler supporting scum shithead cnut.
Completely agree, good to see bi-partisan discussion on this forum as it gets a bit tiring seeing loons having a go at each other like we've got red or blue scarves on. You fecking peenarse
1. It does nothing but insight fear and concern to those around him.
2. Those measures are completely unnecessary, the PPE in the hospitals doesn't stretch to needing full hazmat suit and gas mask, let alone going for a shop in Asda.
3. If he does have it and just doesn't want to spread it, he shouldn't be going to Asda.
I'm glad someone else sees some common sense. I'd go further and say there is certainly some nonsense being spread about masks and people are wearing them out of fear.
At least I don't fly in a fecking circle if I have to choose a wing ya daft cnut
oh my god that was an amazing comeback. Your cheque is in the post!Sir Winston Churchill: "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end, but it's perhaps the end of the beginning."
Infectious disease expert Michael Osterholm, who has been warning for a decade and a half about the possibility of a global pandemic, says there will most likely be 800,000 COVID-deaths in the US in the next 18 months.
Fascinating interview. Sorry if already shared.

we could debate 1 and 2 all day, but 3 - people need to eat. I live alone - my family are in another country and I have no neighbours. Should I die?
No, you should have enough essentials to keep yourself fed while you self quarantine. Or try to order food for delivery.
Fecking droplets. How do they work?
If we keep on reading press releases about every single candidate getting through pre-clinical development it’s going to be a tough few years.
Think of the most excruciatingly prolonged Ronaldunho/Sneijder/Hazard to United transfer saga, only with a thousand different players linked to us, each eventually joining other clubs until only one or two are left. Over a period of several years. And those one or two players could still end up gazumped by Real Madrid after signing a Manchester United shirt and liking Pogba’s posts on Instagram.
There's no debate about 1 and 2. It does cause concern and stoke fear walking around like that. As for 2, I get togged up in the full PPE a few times a day at the moment, so I know we don't need hazmat suits and gasmasks.
You can get friends to deliver food, you can get food deliveries, you should have enough basic essentials, this has been ongoing for a couple of months now. It's only 1 week you self quarantine for when positive. Anyway, the guy was with his (I presume) wife.
Totally agree, but not sure about the analogy
Any new drug made has to pass the safety/efficacy clinical trials, you can't just cut straight to the endgame!
What?

Are you serious?
When you want US cops to be trigger-happy, they're not. Typical...
