Year ago today - last time I went to a gig. Mad to think I got a text from my dad saying "think that'll be the last one you're at this year", and thought he'd lost his marbles.

Honestly, Bill Gates himself can inject me with a nano-chipped virus if it means we can go to gigs and matches and do anything other than ride a bloody bike (which I do enjoy for my sins) come the summer.

This weekend last year was Liverpool Comic Con, that same weekend we got thumped 4-0 at Chelsea, the last game we played with a full crowd. Within 2 weeks the whole country was on lockdown, crazy how much the world has changed in that time

Yep, I was in London and was hoping to stay for the game but didn't manage to get tickets, so was on the train on the way back.

My birthday is the 9th and it all really started going weird that day. Lost all my work on the 16th... Lockdown in full a week later.

Weirdly enough, we'll be playing exactly the same fixture (Chelsea away) a year to the day (the 8th), let's hope for a better result!

Worthing, the worse increase in that report, has seen no deaths today and a huge percentage decline of 56.8.

Cornwall is an area on its own for some reason. Our infection rate is now down to 16.8

Devon is split into about 10 regions and the latest figures show an increase in 2 of them. But because the rates are so low there a single small outbreak in each area has caused the increase. Talking a handful in each case

The current rate of death in care homes, from ANYTHING, is lower than it would be in a non Covid world. Astonishing.

It's not really mate. A lot of them have already died from covid in last years outbreak. Many of those that died in the dreadful figures we saw last year would have died from other causes within the next 12 months anyway. The low death figures we are seeing in nursing homes now is just a natural progression of that

My last gig to date was Morrissey at the O2. I arrived late by half hour because someone jumped onto a train track and delayed the whole network.

It really does make me wonder if this was a suicide brought on by the Coronavirus concerns. There have been many suicides over it all.
