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.
A good thread on some hype to watch out for in the coming weeks/months.
Collected my free rapid tests earlier with no problem at all. Seems like they are available at quite a number of places.

Look at the picture of people queuing outside primark. People have no common sense.

Nothing wrong with it. Nice to see people outside after a miserable 6 months.
Any chance the U.K-USA travel corridor gets reopened in the next few months?
Anyone see the video of all the traveler's rocking up to the Pfizer factory in Dublin in all their caravans and camper vans demanding vaccines? Couldn't make it up.
Idiots. Don't they know that outlet stores are where Pfizer send their seconds and out of date stock at knock-down prices?
Been quite a bit of speculation of mid-late May.
Nothing wrong with it? The pm is still saying be cautious. The experts are still saying to socially distance. Standing practically on someone’s heels in a queue is far from what they are urging.
No, what was the response?
I've no idea because as usual nobody in the media will report on it. Just saw the video. I doubt anything will be done about it, somehow!
I was wondering because there is nothing on rte
Ordered some lateral flow tests yesterday and they arrived this morning, very quick.

Where did you order them from?
Just popped out to grab lunch, Piccadilly Gardens is heaving and there are people everywhere carrying multiple Primark bags in each hand.
What the feck is wrong with people getting all giddy to queue up to buy shit cheap clothes?

I just googled it and there’s a gov.uk link, took however long it’s been since my above post to create an account and order some.
The queues for Primark blow my mind man. Absolute tramps buying that shit.
Ah ok cheers thought you might have grabbed them from a local pharmacy.
Nah only one I saw doing it was in Clifton. Long that.
Something is up with that site when looking for places to collect near you. When I looked yesterday it was showing loads of places near me to collect from and when I looked just now it's showing only one local place near me. I collected a pack from my local supermarket earlier in the day yet they're not on the site anymore.
Why are you all ordering those lateral flow tests? How will you be using them?
There will be instructions provided.
I'm going back to the gym this week and they are free to everyone now.
Feck off!
Reported
Are you obliged to do one before going to the gym? Or just being a good citizen? What’s the general guidance about using these?
We're all supposed to make them part of our "daily routine" now. Apparently the first big adverts telling people to use them are going to be broadcast tonight.
COVID-19: Twice-weekly lateral flow coronavirus tests now available for free in England | UK News | Sky News
This is fine, and indicative of a totally normal country.
Nope, not required so I guess I'm just being a good citizen
I don't think there is much guidance, the government just want people to start testing themselves as much as possible as things open up.
Christ, as if things werent bad enough!
Think there will be a low take up on the lateral flow tests given the lack of financial support if you have to miss work.
Before I thought this was stupid but there were people queuing outside JD Sport so now this seems sensible in comparison.
A bit of good news on the early treatment front. A clinical trial run in Oxfordshire has found a type of asthma inhaler helps people to recover faster (when given soon after covid positive test) and reduces instances of serious disease. The thing that triggered the trial in the first place was that certain groups of asthmatics and people suffering from COPD seemed to be coping better with covid infections than their doctors had expected.

Small scale trial and not enough hospitalisations in the trial to say how effective it is with severe cases, but enough to be statistically convincing that it helps people recover faster. And it's (relatively) cheap, available and they already have safety data for it.

Seen some people saying herd immunity is approaching and a few other people saying some infections will reoccur in those vaccinated ('breakthrough infections'), especially with the SA variant. What's the overall consensus?
They've asked people to test themselves twice a week. Also I'm seeing a friend soon to get suits fitted for his wedding and I thought I'd be safe and get tested before potentially being around his baby and also his fiancee who has a pacemaker.
I'm on a daily dose of budesonide/formoteral and had very mild symptoms after contracting covid. I take 4 puffs a day and was expecting to be really poorly as a 54 year old asthmatic so could be something in it.
Nothing wrong with it. fair enough if you can tell which people from that camera angle are from different support bubbles as well as which ones ones aren’t standing far enough away from each other outside in the fresh air. Seems like a very minor thing to worry about
Cool. It’s an interesting idea. Just struggling to see what will motivate people to do it on a regular basis. Especially after the initial novelty wears off. Unless you’re visiting vulnerable friends/relatives anyway (which might still make it a worthwhile initiative)
