Coronavirus

Die before their time ?. What a sharp object . People are doing that everyday the world over .

A minutes silence before the Man United game ( which has just kicked off)  - in an empty stadium.

Quoted from dicko995

As 'arry' says, stick the games on ifollow, at least the Club will earn some money. Cant really see it happening, too much scaremongering going on, and idiots buying out things in supermarkets, just don't know what else to do with their dole money

Something Scunny should maybe consider doing in the future  

It’d still be quiet.

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

A minutes silence before the Man United game ( which has just kicked off)  - in an empty stadium.

Allegedly playing the game in an empty stadium has cost LASK around £875K in lost revenue.

The sensible thing would be to suspend games for a while, everyone is moving faster and more thoroughly than the UK government, I have a ticket for Saturday but will not be going. . Unfortunately until there is a vaccine the only way to slow the virus is more isolation and hygiene .
The government has known this was coming for the last two months, with a health service and social services that have been cut and cut again in the last ten years it is very very worrying

The concept of doing nothing is quite bizarre & totally out of line with the rest of Europe.
Basically cancel cruises, school trips and keep washing your hands.strange.
Going to be grim and fully agree with question about the ability of a massively underfunded health service been able to cope.

I've got a cruise booked for the last week of May going to Guernsey, Portugal and Spain.

I've already had an email from P&O saying that all their cruises are currently going ahead but they have waived their cancellation refund policy if anyone does want to cancel.

They have also offered an extra £200 per cabin on board credit for those who still want to go.

It is another 2 and a half months away so hopefully things may have calmed down a bit by then.

I was booked for Rome Quarter Final and Wembley Semi. Devastated to be honest. But health comes first

I've read somewhere that they don't think it will be all over until perhaps as late as October. If you thought 2019 was excrement, 2020 has got something to show you.

The schools thing is just odd. I know there is some scientific advice that indicates it doesn't matter much if the schools are open, but there is evidence against this from the past. If nothing else, shutting them for the next couple of weeks (followed by the Easter holidays) would make everyone take it a bit more seriously. That's one thing we need.

China, Hong Kong and Singapore got a grasp of things and have kept it very much in check through strict measures. Other countries such as Italy (and us) have tinkered around the edges trying to get away with taking a more lax approach. The situation in Italy as a whole should indicate that this isn't the way to operate - however, the 10 Italian cities which were quarantined early, back in February, are apparently now showing no new cases.

I think we've got perhaps a handful of days to make the right choice. Hopefully, it will be made before next week.
