Would you really be that scared of a one in 333 shot?
        When you have won bets at those odds I’d say yes

              Good to see the bledisloe Cup back in action with 4 games planned. First one was highly entertaining and nice to see spectators back in the stands.

                Certainly the part that would frighten me. Eoghan is young and fit so certainly an eye opener when he noted the persisting issues.

                Also, I've played golf a couple of times with a guy who's a little older and is definitely carrying too much weight but seems healthy enough. He has been readmitted to hospital twice with pneumonia like symptoms since recovering from Covid.

                Risk of dying is quite low for the majority of the population but the aftermath seems to be a nebulous which is somewhat more frightening than simply knowing you'll have x side effects afterwards.

                  I for one appreciate the use of the word 'nebulous' outside of Star Trek .

                    Can't take credit for that, Keane used it here one day and I had to google what it meant.

                    Clearly way too cool for Star Trek

                      We had to set some rules for the data that we spit out for our clients. The first and most important one got christened 'the prime directive'.

                      I was the only person who had no idea where that came from.

                        It's going to make zero difference to the election, but the NYTimes has a really impressive piece on the sprawling swap of corruption Trump wallows in: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...ies-swamp.html

                          Donnie drifting quite appreciably in the last 36 hours. Now 3.35 on BF with Biden 1.4.

                          Signs the GOP are giving up on him too. Could be quite the enjoyable run-in over the next three weeks as the Trump implosion goes nuclear. He was never going to go quietly was he....

                            Starting to feel a little optimistic but the stakes are so high and the electorate so incredibly dumb that I won't relax until the inauguration is done and dusted.

                            Do people believe that he actually has beaten covid or have things not been quite as they have been presented over the last week?

                              For anyone with Play Music or Spotify, listen to a track called 'Let me let you down' by The Teskey Brothers.

                              Don't Google them, don't look for it on YouTube, play it, enjoy it, then Google them.

                              Been listening to that track for the last week or two. Got around to googling them last night and my head asploded.

                                  Best mates daughter (21) tested positive , both he and the mrs have flu like symptoms getting tested tomorrow. Reckons theyre over the worst of it but they're only symptomatic since Friday. From what I have read it can deteriorate rapidly though and that often happens after the first week when people think they're grand.

                                    He seems to be having a busier more energetic schedule post covid than Sleepy Joe ever had.

                                                          There were 30 virus patients in ICU this morning, according to the Government’s data hub, down one from yesterday but up 10 on a week ago.

                                                          Hospitalisations are up 80 per cent over the past week, to 221 this morning from 120 a week ago.

I just wonder where the source was when he did his surprise visit outside the hospital. The WH news pool were in uproar that no one had told them.
