Coronavirus

BREAKING NEWS;;;  The Grimsby Town goalkeeper who played against Scunthorpe Utd has been confirmed to have Corona-Virus. Scunthorpe players have been told not to bother with self isolation as they didn't get anywhere near him

Quoted from Civvy at last

And there we have it.  Lets use this for our own political agenda.  

If Corbyn had been in power in 1939 we would probably all be speaking German now.

I have to speak German at work every now and again.... it's not that bad!  

How come the National league games are still on

Quoted from supertown

How come the National league games are still on

Probably because no players or staff have been affected.
Remember the government advice was still allow mass gatherings etc.

More than likely it will be suspended in the future when other measures are introduced.

Because the FL are picks!

Picks?  

Calling a spade a spade there aren't you?  

Quoted from golfer

I have 2 pre - op appointments next week at Gby hospital and worried about catching this bug - am nearly of the mind to cancel  . Why aren't cinemas and pubs being closed . It's a good job " The Bug Hut  ( Rialto ) isn't still open.

Because the government is advising mass gatherings are to be permitted.
You can always take personal decisions like staying away from certain places and limiting exposure.

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub

Are you for real or just a troll or can’t you read? Nobody said it was a different virus, simply that the way of dealing with it will vary from country to country and anyone with an iota of common sense would think rightly so. Making cheap political points is just juvenile and helps nobody.

It iseems to be becoming apparent we are taking a very different approach with herd immunity as the goal, this will mean at least 70% population exposure, not saying it is not the best long term policy but with what seems like a death rate of over 3% in Italy it will not be very comfortable.
You think I am making political points, I have had a mother waiting on a trolly after a stroke for hours in Grimsby because there are no beds available and this was a couple of years ago without a flu or Covid epidemic. Unfortunately it it will be people on here who will have similar experience and perhaps worse if anything like the Italian situation occurs.

Exactly this.
The CSA states that at least 60% of the population needs to contract COVID-19 in order to develop "herd immunity" to prevent further transmission in the future.
The aim of measures announced is not to "eliminate" but to "suppress" the spread of coronavirus so there will not be a "second peak" in the winter after the country recovers

Just wondering WTF Talksport are going to do for the forseeable future Not only no footy but no sport of any description really

It will no doubt be an endless, one programme after another, of news about which players / teams are infected and a hundred different ideas on how every competition you can think of is going to resume and finish its season (all the latter with absolutely no info whatsofuckingever)

That Scots twit at 10am whose name escapes me is going to be more unbearable than ever. At least Brazil can regale us all with how he did his back  in the champagne tent at Cheltenham
