We've been looking into doing Covid-19 testing in the labs where I work. From the procedures I've seen for the PCR test, the biggest problem the PL will have with testing, isn't pulling it away from the NHS etc, it's that the time required to do all the tests from the people involved from swabbing them, to letting them in the stadiums is too short for the number of test they would need. To make it work, you'd need robotics running and they would need to be in specially built class 2 safety cabinets. Standard cabinets aren't big enough for the robotics and you cannot test the live sample out of a safety cabinet or else or your lab staff become at risk of infection. I know theyve had to custom build these for the NHS. The PL could fund a lab to do this but it'll cost alot. But in comparison to what they'd lose from tv rights, it is maybe a pittance.
People need to stop with the pity party companys go out of buisness every day football has always been different from the rest of the world people are gonna have to spend money to rebuild the economy sanchos transfer will make united more money than they spend
Love this channel but really dont like this presenter, just plain and boring needs to add his own flavour to the reports he is sharing

Good video with a difficult underlying topic. You are right, the squad is paper thin.
