With so many top flight games off over the weekend, is our match in doubt?
The older I get, the earlier it gets late

They do tests on Thursdays at training, don't they? So if it was off from our side we'd surely know pretty soon this morning.

I would assume they do LFTs first thing on a Saturday, too
I create YouTube videos (BUFC/FM/CM 01-02), and stream Football Manager on Twitch as BostonUnitedFM.

No pause in the Premier League season;  hopefully we keep going too.  Thirteen fit players and one goalkeeper is the minimum requirement apparently.

Is that for teams in the welsh league or teams with grounds in Wales as most of Chester's ground is in Wales?

Anything this side of the border should be OK at the moment... does the border cross the field of play?

Last time they were able to play games with a capped attendance, when the rest of the Welsh games were behind closed doors.  B)

If, as it appears, the Sage modellers were given an incorrect Omicron brief, then Drakeford and Sturgeon may have overreacted  :o

Last November on a Chinese website,  they were concerned about a man made virus escaping from a lab in Wuhan province. 

He tried to find the article since and it had been deleted.  I think that as usual Joe public is only being told a few facts.  I am not saying this is man made, but things are more serious than is being told.  Italy has a death rate of nearly 5%, but this could be lower due to people showing no signs.

Anyway worrying times ahead.

Dipodah, there's been a couple of recent developments which shed more light on the possible origins of the virus  :o

Following a lawsuit last month, various emails came out dating back to 2016,  which make it clear that bat viruses were being sent to the Wuhan lab for research purposes in a joint Chinese/American project. Previously there's been a mystery as to how the bat virus arrived in Wuhan as the nearest bat colony is a thousand miles away.
More information emerged that in 2018 the American funded EcoHealth Alliance applied for a $14.2 million dollar grant to enable research into inserting a 12 letter segment into the virus's genetic structure. The Pentagon turned it down as it was deemed to be too dangerous.  Trump would have been aware of this, but the Wuhan lab is mainly funded by the CCP so they may have gone ahead with it anyway.

A Dr Daszak heads up the EcoHealth Alliance and he played a leading role in trying to dismiss the lab-leak idea as a ‘conspiracy theory’, using his membership of the WHO-China investigation to support the far-fetched theory that the virus reached Wuhan on frozen food.

The truth is out there! :o :police:

Lincolnshire hospitals declare a 'critical incident' as staff absences soar.  In a leaked document, sent to staff at hospitals in Lincoln, Grantham, Boston and Louth, the Trust said it was ‘unable to maintain safe staffing levels’ causing ‘compromised care’.
The document appeared on Saturday evening and mentioned the Pilgrim Hospital in particular, so be careful out there fellow Pilgrims :police:
