@The_doctorswife Well, to hear the government talking heads, we’re not only testing anyone who needs a test, we’re also going to test the entire population in “the very near” future! Absolutely hilarious given that the reality is, you simply cannot book a test when you need one.
Our capacity in NL is a bit short right now as well as we're experiencing a second wave. I got tested myself 2 weeks ago, got the negative (thankfully) result the very same day.

I think a lot of this testing capacity they allude to being available here is being carried out in clinical settings and for workers in key sectors where regular testing is mandatory. I don’t think the community testing is anywhere near as widespread or available as we’re led to believe. Ultimately, if you can stay at home and recover from it, as with any other seasonal virus, I don’t think attaching the label of Covid-19 to your illness has any merit anyway. There’s no specific treatment for it and even if I was “only suffering” from viral Pneumonia instead of Coronavirus, you still wouldn’t particularly want me out and about coughing on you and others!

I’m sick too, Cold/Flu and chesty cough. No clue if it’s Covid-19, you can’t get a test here in the UK, but I’m staying home and playing MLB the Show just in case. Get well soon!
Tonic water and Zinc I've heard works well with the Corona.

I've heard that the NHS over there comes up short on some stuff. Are they just overwhelmed with the massive uptick in cases?

It’s not the NHS, more the lack of funding for the NHS over the past few years. I believe they do a good job with what’s available. A better question for me, is why are we short on these tests now? Surely, as we enter the time of year when Influenza like illness and respiratory infections begin to increase, having had the last six months to prepare, we should have an adequate stockpile of tests in anticipation of regular seasonal illnesses that mimic Covid-19?
Nope. We are told the uptick in demand for testing has been “unexpectedly” high of late. Hmmm, only if you’ve been living on Mars for the past year. Typical government BS. Luckily they’ll be increasing capacity “by the day”! -

I heard the cases were flaring back up again over there. I probably wouldn't worry unless you can't smell or taste. Had half a mind to flee to the moors of Scotland when the case #'s where getting bad over here.
Yeah, it’s actually classic Covid symptoms, we started out with a high temperature, then got the no smell and taste thing, now moved onto a hacking cough. Funnily enough though, no real sniffles or blocked sinuses, no prickly sore throat, which actually makes me more inclined to think it’s ‘Rona. Sadly, the testing system here is a shambles and you’ve more chance of winning the powerball than actually getting a test.
I’m all for hiding indoors myself as cases rise again, but it’s just not practical, someone has to work, shop and generally function as usual, because we’re a family of four, plus two dogs that have to eat and so on. My eldest daughter brought this bug home, she is 18 and like most of the younger generation, cares little for the global pandemic currently playing out before our eyes. The most disastrous thing that can happen in her world is having to stay in and not socialise with her grubby band of friends (most of whom do not look like the obsessive hand washing and sanitising stereotype!!) for one day, let alone months at a time, so that’s driving me nuts as well. What a crazy year it’s been and continues to be for everyone!
Has she figured out that someone has to work yet? Half of my country can't seem to grasp the concept.

Yeah, they soon figure it out when you stop paying for everything for them, lol.

Luckily they’ll be increasing capacity “by the day”!Looks like y'all are going through the second wave, just like we did this past summer. The good news is that the cases should decline in the future—my state used to be recording 2k cases per day in June & July, now it's only hovering around 500 or less.

Well, they’ve said we will be living with some type of lockdown restriction for at least six months, so I hope SDS keep the content coming until ‘21 releases!

Virus and everything aside, I find it awesome that you, a Brit, plays a baseball game. Just cool.

I wish SDS felt the same, I’ve been trying to get them to include us Brits in tournaments, COTW, sweepstakes and so on for years! It’s only in the more recent versions of DD we’ve been included in stub sales, believe it or not!!

Must be that soccer is just bigger over there than baseball is. Have you given college football a watch? If you haven't, don't pull for Alabama, lol.

Oh yeah, Baseball isn’t at all mainstream. They’re trying to break into the market here, or were - We did have the London Series last year and we were all set to host it again, but you know, COVID etc.

I have watched you for a few years on this forum. Always posting intellectual and thought provoking posts. Its a novel approach and I appreciate them. I hope you don't have the Corona and get well soon. I had three tests last month and I'm still not sure if my nostrils have recovered lol.

Thanks! I try to contribute in a positive manner, but I’ve been guilty of losing my mind and engaging in petty arguments with trolls over semantics at times too. I’d rather not do that, obviously, as it leads nowhere, I’d much rather have a normal conversation with normal people, be that about real baseball, global affairs or MLB the Show.

Well, I don't actually have bronchitis. I was quoting Sweet Brown from her "Ain't nobody got time for that" appearance on the news years ago. But no, Covid will be going away sometime in November.

Yup, it’s all just going to blow away. It’ll be like a miracle. And you’ll develop a herd mentality

Same. I hope you get well soon. I predict that the London Series will be back next year (and if it's the Yankees and Red Sox again, as a Tigers fan, the Red Sox will have my back in that matchup, lol.)
Did you know that we did our own version of Fever Pitch, but with baseball? It's awesome.

I didn’t know that, lol. There’s a lot of stuff we missed this year, London Series, Field of Dreams game.... Hopefully next year looks more normal for MLB. I think the Tigers might get JV and or JD Martinez back at some point, stranger things have happened.
