I used the map on the WOSFL website for the grounds: https://wosfl.co.uk/your-local-club/ Granted that could be wrong/out of date though.
-
Just over two hours - including stops for photos, taking wrong turnings, stopping to check etc! My geography of the East End isn’t great.

A bit of groundhopping with a difference while the football is off - bike run this morning around all (I think!) the current senior and (now ex) junior grounds in Glasgow. Thinking this would make a decent charity cycle run at some point (for someone else to organise!) Pollok, Rangers, Benburb/Rossvale, St Anthony’s/St Cadocs, Maryhill/Drumchapel, Partick Thistle, Glasgow Perthshire, Ashfield, Petershill, St Rochs, Celtic, Shettleston, Vale of Clyde, Hampden.

Monday: 9 Tuesday: 10 Wednesday: 8 Thursday: 8 @NJ2 - looks like I'm missing my second place from last week - that was my third.

Has anyone had word from their child’s school about how they plan to work things in August? A friend of mine has been told that her son will be in 2 days/week. I’m guessing that’ll be quite standard, although I’m kind of hoping we might get more as the class sizes in my daughter’s school are pretty small. My partner and I both work full time. Not sure how we’ll work it if childcare facilities remain out of action.

I used to be a researcher working on respiratory virus transmission. I moved on in 2014, and although I keep my eye on what's happening and know quite a few of the people involved at the moment, my finger is off the pulse a bit so I might well have missed things. Certainly back then the seasonal/cyclic nature of virus outbreaks was something that was poorly understood, but generally accepted that it involved multiple factors. Respiratory viruses do tend to crop up in the winter, and being indoors more almost certainly does play a part, however if it was that alone then you'd expect to see more significant outbreaks in colder countries (or colder regions of countries compared to warmer regions), but you don't really get that. You'd also expect that all respiratory viruses to have infection peaks at similar times matching weather patterns/indoor times over the course of a winter, but again you don't really get that: some peak in November, some in March, the other coronaviruses that have been circulating for years (229E, OC43, NL63) tend to match the flu season and usually peak in December/January. If we abandoned social distancing etc then I wouldn't be surprised if Covid-19 eventually fell into a similar patter to the other coronaviruses. Respiratory viruses do tend to settle in to a yearly cyclic pattern though, but when a new one comes along it sometimes takes a couple of waves for that to happen. When swine flu hit, the first wave was May/June 2009, and it came back again in early autumn of the same year. It was only really the third wave that it started to fall into the usual cycle for influenza.

The virus almost certainly hasn’t lost potency. The genetic sequence for the virus has been analysed in thousands of patients, and there haven’t been any changes indicating this. Reductions probably are due to the measures. However, most respiratory viruses follow a seasonal pattern and in most cases the summer is the period where rates are lowest. Covid-19 hasn’t been around long enough though to know how much that is a factor that is, but it might be significant.

Aye, I think you might have pinched my silver! That should have been my third.

Wednesday 10 Thursday 9 Friday 10 Happy enough with that!

I think it's pretty unlikely that the virus has weakened. It's certainly not backed up by genetic data. Compared to a couple of months ago there's a lot more people with mild symptoms being tested: there's less pressure to prioritise testing on those who are really sick, and testing capacity has improved. It's not that surprising that the average Covid-19-positive person has milder symptoms now than in, say, March, but that's an artefact of the way testing is done than a change in the virus.

We had an email from our son's nursery about this yesterday. The expanded hours apparently might still apply in some areas (although I'm not clear what the criteria are), and families on low income can get 900 hours. The other thing that they mentioned was that children should attend just one nursery during phases 1 and 2, and that this might be extended out to phases 3 and 4. Before all this happened, our son split his time between two nurseries, so some decisions to make ahead.

The site I linked to yesterday is good for that too. https://www.travellingtabby.com/scotland-coronavirus-tracker/ Seven day averages: UK - 275 England - 249.6 Scotland - 11.3 Wales - 10.3 Northern Ireland - 2.4

I don’t think anyone has posted this, but apologies if I missed it... Today in Glasgow there were ZERO new reported cases of Covid-19.
