Being curious and morbid just bought A Journal of the plague year by Daniel Defoe, It was written originally by his father (I think) and was released by Daniel Defoe at a later date. Good read if you're into this type of thing and comparisons between then and what we find ourselves dealing with now are frighteningly similar, recommended read.

interestingly both diseases did in a disproportionate number of monks & nuns. Communal living and all that.

You might like to read “Year of Wonders” by Geraldine Brooks, excellent book

Based on your discoveries and comparisons and also the current mood of terror, how long do you think it will be before we are back to normal. I don’t want to sound negative but I think we are years away from a return to 26,000 at Selhurst......and no that’s not because of relegation or anything club related.

Until all above 50 and medically at risk get the offer of a vaccine, no matter who doesnt actually want it. This should cut deaths and admissions. Edited by cryrst (10 Jan 2021 10.56pm)
