He was very good mates with a lad that I used to work with, who played up at Eastmoor and we'd regularly bump into one another in town on a Friday night - a few years ago mind.
Top bloke and very, very sad news.

RIP fella.

Wakefield have a lot of involvement with the Dragons over the years which makes it even more sad, I’ve always been made welcome when I’ve attended games representing Wakey, a good bunch of folk doing a great job. RIP Dave.

I’m beginning to ask myself “what’s the point” of self isolation. social distancing, and losing family and friends, when the government are allowing 15000, yes, fifteen thousand people a day flying into the UK, without any medical checks, allowing these people from all over the world to mix with the U.K. population. I’ve been quite supporting of most things the government has done up to now, but this news, just baffles me, I’ve lost a lot of faith in our leaders, I think they have just made the biggest mistake so far. Can anyone explain the logic of why all theses people are allowed into the Uk, without medical checkups.

I think I'm right in believing DS, that they have to self isolate for 2 weeks immediately on arrival.

That’s a possibility, but how many people do they come into contact with until they reach their point of isolation. Airport staff, Public transport, taxi, lifts from family, friends.etc, the infection rate would quickly accelerate.

Can't find any article saying there are 15,000 a day coming in.
But the reason some are still coming in is to repatriate British people stranded abroad.
It's not hard to take someone's temperature which is the first check.
My friend who came in on a plane a couple of weeks ago said they were checked twice before making it to the terminal, and then told to self isolate.
