From what I have read some arsenal players met him 13 days ago and they are self-isolating until 14 days have passed since they met him, ie for another day or so, so the game this weekend is on.

Let’s hope it doesn’t happen.

Playing behind closed doors (if that's what happens) is not a huge financial impact for premiership clubs as they only get a small % of total revenues from gate receipts. It's a different matter for those clubs in the lower leagues.

Although as Gandalf says, it will have a wider reaching knock on effect for other businesses that I hadn’t considered.

Yes, I heard that last night. It will be interesting to see what impact it has on the number of cases - I'd imagine a significant rise.

On the Nadine Dorris case - they are doing all the contact tracing and it now looks as though she caught from a member of her staff.


So then they have to check all the contacts of the member of her staff, as well as all the contacts Nadine Dorris herself had before she isolated herself.


You can see how the web expands.

But it can take a little while to organise. As I wrote earlier, my daughter's office in the City has instructed everyone to work from home from next Monday - meanwhile they are ensuring everyone has remote access.

We can but hope. The vile hag should have got herself tested sooner and isolated herself as soon as she got ill. There have been rumours about her and Boris, so lets hope they shagged

Completely inappropriate Beast.


I would urge people to put aside political prejudice at this time - wishing this on anybody is very nasty and will rebound if the ill-wisher catches it himself.

By now we should all understand Beast's ranting hyperbole when political people or events are maddening. Soft as a kitten really.

They are the symptoms, as asked by 111 last week.


Travel and contact with those who've travelled is one thing they look for, but in the absence of any known contact / travel those are the symptoms they go for. It's those "secret" ones which they use in addition to the ones you read about in the news all the time. I can only assume that - sensibly - they've not made those public so as to stop every Tom, Dick and Harry phoning up expecting a test.

This from the Guardian:


"I work in Parliament and developed the same symptoms as Nadine Dorries MP on the same day. I’ve had a dry cough, chest pain and fever for four days.


NHS 111 services triaged me away from Coronovirus on Friday. I could not be tested because I hadn’t been in close contact to a previously confirmed case.


The official 111 advice for me this morning - after calling again to check after hearing about Nadine Dorries MP - is to go to work with a cough, wash my hands, and assume that I don’t have it. (I am actually going to ignore that advice and work from home.)


I am worried that only testing people who have been ‘contact traced’ is missing a lot of people in the community, and that people like me may have coronavirus and are being advised to go to work anyway. Is this because the Government simply can’t do the number of tests needed?"


 


There is a fiasco brewing...

E.g. I cannot access most cloud services (say dropbox or google drive) on my local machine while remoting. Any cute attempts to bypass this terminate the remote connection.

I'm not going to pretend and offer false sympathy. I hate the woman. Of course, I don't want her to die but I'm not going to forget her past comments about immigrants and benefit claimants and a telling a Remain supporting Asian journalist to go back home, even though she was born here


She is also very thick and a security risk. Remember she gave out her Westminster  Login details to an aide who had no clearance
