They are testing properly

Thatā€™s below 30%

Ball park thatā€™s around 33% which is the projected rate. We are on the same trend. The only hope is that I the next 4-5 days the effect of closing the schools will reduce this.

Curfew is required as mentioned if your going to implement a lockdown then do it properly, gangs of youths all over the place. Get some fucking steel into it the softly softly approach wont work.

Greater Manchester is the opposite to most conurbations. Most conurbations, most bits are grand and thereā€™s one bit you avoid. Greater Manchester is the other way round.

This is why the piece by piece bit by bit restrictions are shit. Whole place should have ground to a halt weeks ago, air travel especially.

I donā€™t get much enjoyment these days, but I do enjoy following the Australian coverage during the day, before switching to the Irish proceedings overnight. Itā€™s very much a case of Leo 1 - 0 ScoMo. Ireland should be very proud of the leadership shown over the past couple of weeks.

What way is the mental health situation lads?

Trying to get out for a 1 hour walk everyday currently I am cocooned to my home desk for 14-15 hours a day caused mainly by the turbulence in the markets which massively adds to our workload.

Children are well grown up so I donā€™t have the pressures of many here of trying to work and look after their small kids as well. These lads are really extraordinary.

This is very bleak. Are you self-isolating with the kid or still working?
