Yeh there are nice gestures like that that can be done but I don't see a problem a club using the scheme to pay the dinnerladies. Sure PL clubs are rich but so are a lot of companies out there using the scheme.

Maybe the clubs without TV/sponsorship deals/placement prize money etc. can't afford to keep everyone going for an indefinite amount of time? We don't know the ins and outs of PL club finances do we.

Definitely not what its intended for but its allowed.
Looks pretty bad for their players though. Earning 6 figures a week for doing the square root of zilch for months.
I don't think it's wrong that a club should use the scheme, I think what most people look at (and it's the bit that probably doesn't sit right) is the obscene amount of wages clubs are still paying their players, I know it's in their contract etc.
Oh yeh, like I say nice gestures, you'd hope players would donate some of their wages to cover the other staff but I suspect most players just don't give a s*** to be honest.
So Pharmaceutical companies in the UK can't make test kits that work? So have to import them?

Well yes 10 years basically going to war and laughing at the NHS does not seem so wise now...

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
No you've taken it up wrong, I'm talking about the importance of people's lives against other people's lives, whatever we do is 100% going to cost lives, so do we need to prioritise the lives of the elderly from this virus or the lives of alot of younger people who will certainly suffer mentally from financial issues and the suicide rate will rise dramatically, are you saying that the future lives that will be lost are not as equally important as those we are trying to save now? Because that's how I read your comment.

I'm not suggesting anything I'm saying that it's a debate that needs to be had, even though it's a horrible thing to have to debate, in it's most basic and blurb form the topic for debate is "should we prioritize the lives of the elderly with chronic underlying illness over the lives of those who will inevitably kill themselves due to the economic crisis caused by our current actions"?

There needs to be a debate, but emphatically not that one.
The choice isn’t between the two; it’s between having a healthcare system that can cope with things like this or not.
Or to put it another way, do you think it’s fair that a 70 year old man, who worked manual labour all his life, paid all his taxes (not like he had a choice) should be told that the one time he needs the NHS for himself that he doesn’t rate as valuable as the 35 year old next in line to be treated and so should be left to gasp to death?

I think what we can agree on, is the questions we are raising will probably be debated by historians. We're only cogs mate. We can make our comments as we see them. Your opinion is just as valid as mine mate.
