Really? That’s exactly what’s happening on here and in the media between the two countries? And to your comment on expected cases. You’ve given the expected outcome, not the trend of the curve which the U.K. has in fact out trended. You’ve argued against something I’ve not said.

That’s the nature of the virus Matt? New York is two weeks ahead of the U.K. To point fingers like that this early on in your curve is not the right thing to do mate. China is now helping the US and the US will help the U.K. eventually. Testing is the only way to figure out where we’re at and where to fix it. Can’t believe you’re contesting that? You don’t go into a house fire and start hosing the kitchen if the bedroom upstairs is ablaze?

Once again as a New York resident, I’m going to have to disagree with your sensationalist posts on the US, Matt. The US has tested over double the UK has, also has three times less death per 1million of population. Granted, we are roughly 2 weeks ahead of you in all of this, and the way this works means yes, deaths with rise in the thousands every day until it curves. The only country currently who has out trended it’s estimated curve, I.e more than the predicted cases and deaths, is the U.K. The US, Italy and Spain all coming in under the latest predicted curves. Dr Birx and Dr Fauci are saying 100,000s of lives will be lost, and maybe you guys missed this bit, if the precautions are not followed. I.e if they have a similar spread as NY in other states. Slimy Donald is also calling 100,000s of deaths so when it’s much less than that he can claim a campaign win later. Remember there is a planned election this year. Last week I read a BBC article about what the US has done wrong in this crisis and as I’m reading down, every key topic I am looking at, Boris has fvcked up for the U.K. at the same degree if not more on the U.K. front. Governor Cuomo and Mayor De Blasio for example had sourced 4,400 ventilators for the NY region recently (with 1,100 more on the way) and I read that your promised 30,000 in the U.K. turned up as 30? Please do not get wound up in the sensationalist media and stick to factual sources. Anecdotally, we were being told to do more here two weeks earlier than you guys were. Begging my asthmatic parents not to go to work because it was unclear if they were key workers or not, was not fun. Comparatively here it was made very clear who and who shouldn’t be going to work. Even then the subway was derelict compared to some of the scenes I saw from the underground. Clearly I do not want any level of illness or death for my countrymen and women. My family is there and quite honestly it scares me how little was done early on and the repercussions of that. Which isn’t just a U.K statement. New York is in trouble currently but we’re doing our part and the governors are performing with what they have. It is pissing me off, however, reading some of the things I am as a resident here. It’s clear from my move over that the media reports things very differently cross border.

Older generation arrogance and ‘stiff upper lip’ is going to fvck a lot of this up.

Don’t trust premier league players to abide by the rules tbf. They may try getting this going but it only takes a Jack Grealish to go contract it and the whole thing gets fvcked up.

I caved today gents. Maidstone to the Champions League it is

Steady on there Matt, as someone who lives in the states and not agreeable to Trump; the local governors are doing very well with what they’ve got. Remember there are many states that are much bigger than the U.K. on critical mass alone. My wife and I are very concerned for our families given the approach the U.K. has taken so far. Late to the party and by all accounts people not listening to guidance. Walk the streets of New York at the minute and you’ll get shouted at from an apartment block to stay inside. Wish this would fvck off for all of us but calling other countries out on how they are handling it when none of us are testing as much as we should be to get the real facts, is not the answer.

Trump isn’t taking that approach mate, we’ve been in lockdown longer than the U.K.

Sean is a really good lad, I went to school with him. But I’ve shared similar sentiments today. Silly fvckers taking in their last beer before lock down... just says so much about our country. Stupid beyond belief.

If it’s the difference between us getting CL football and not I think we’ll all take it. Get it back up and running behind closed doors on 4th April, even if it’s just the games in hand.

This is bang on. Found myself being generally more frustrated at things this weekend because there was obviously something missing. It’s different to a Summer off where you prepare for it and often have other things to occupy the mind. Cant wait for all this to be over. No doubt because it’s physically harming people, but the disruption to our every day is damaging in so many other ways.

We’re now in lock down in New York. No street enforcement yet but things are closing (gyms, cinemas) and curfews on night life. Really surprised that the U.K. is taking a different approach given bigger countries are taking the lock down method. Stay safe chaps

Hasn’t Nigel learned anything? Just grabbed Praet by the throat after the Leicester midfielder went crashing into him

1-2 Chris Wood with another face rocket. Also Wellens is playing fvcking terribly

Get them to play that in a closed doors match at the targeted date to resume when both sets of players are fully fit and healthy (from Coronavirus). Then lock the whole thing down.
