I`m not sure using a death rate/recorded cases ratio is a very good measure. It depends on many factors about the people that are tested. If you test (for example) your entire military and find 100 cases, then death rates from these confirmed cases will probably will be zero due to their age and fitness. But if you test only those in the high risk categories that show severe symptoms (as in the UK) then death rates per confirmed cases will be higher.

Wayne Rooney in the Sunday Times
Molly Windley replied to dylanisabaddog's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Nobody is forcing him to play football, his choice has been to put that over and above his own families safety. -

He has the money to put himself and his family into isolation, why has he not done that? He could have taken early action, why has he risked his family? -
Does anyone know the voting protocol for the EPL? Can decisions be carried by a majority of the 20 or do they need to be unanimous? I can see many of the decisions that have to be made, but how will those decisions be passed or rejected?

So tonights game, Derby or Manure?
Molly Windley replied to Making Plans's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
It`s going to be a spaff fest over Rooney from all the pundits and commentators isn`t it? Anyway, hope it`s Derby but cannot see it with their rather bland set of players -
We have gone from a crisp decisive passing style to flicky flicky football I don`t like it

It`s their league, they can set their own rules, do not see a problem with it. He cannot play in any UEFA competition "The rules allowing Barcelona to sign the 28-year-old stipulated the player they brought in must be a free agent or already playing in Spain and that they can not play in Uefa competition."

Had a second look at the legislation because it says "Immigration" whereas most footballers are employed on fixed term contracts and are not immigrants seeking UK citizenship, A Tier 2 UK Employer Visa Sponsorship would from my reading cover the employment of an overseas footballer. I would also say that in the defence of football it is one of the very very few industries left in the UK that does operate and fund a comprehensive and industry wide apprenticeship scheme.

Currently "Foreigners" who are not EU citizens need to apply for a work permit to join UK clubs, "foreigners" from EU countries do not English football clubs must have a certain number of UK players which limits the number of "foreigners" in a squad Missed the thread on here railing against the inequalities of the current situation

A few graphs to balance the narrative.
Molly Windley replied to Upo's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I was looking at our form earlier today.. We have played 16 games since the awful performance against Watford and with the exception of Man Utd away have not lost by more than 1 goal. Too many close but no prize results- 15 replies

So what do we do now ?
Molly Windley replied to Pockthorpe's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Try some poetry The sand of the desert is sodden red, - Red with the wreck of a square that broke; - The Gatling's jammed and the colonel dead, And the regiment blind with dust and smoke. The river of death has brimmed his banks, And England's far, and Honour a name, But the voice of schoolboy rallies the ranks, "Play up! play up! and play the game!" -
If FIFA or UEFA tried to get involved then we would see a breakaway from the top clubs in Europe and they would suck all the revenues in. The governing bodies would be powerless to stop it and the clubs would form their own European Premier League with its own governing body. If player A gets paid £5K, £20K or £100K a week it bothers me not at all, good luck to them.

That is the major difference between the oft lauded NFL player cap situation and the EPL. The NFL player has nowhere else to go
