Coronavirus

The antibody-detecting tests could be rolled out in the millions relatively quickly. Less accurate than the other tests, but would be helpful to find out just how many people have been affected so far in various areas and give an indication of how many people are asymptomatic with the illness. It would be worth chucking tens or even hundreds of millions at a testing regime if it led to information which meant that the pandemic could be brought under control even a few weeks earlier, given the projected damage to the economy the longer this goes on.

Uefa Euro 2020 postponed for a year

Apologies if this has already been posted.

Barnet have laid off all non-playing staff in a bid to stay afloat.  Southport have begun asking their fans for donations.  Surely someone has to step in soon.  The government has just announced that all retail and leisure businesses will be exempt from rates for the next three months and will also be entitled to a £25,000 grant, no idea if this applies to football clubs.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

That’s the oldest, weakest counter-argument to pointing out that some countries do things better. It’s pathetic. Rather than having a country that performs better economically and looks after its people, you’d rather see opposition emigrate so you can continue to wallow while your country is dismantled. Why shouldn’t people want their country to emulate best practice??

And sticking with Denmark specifically, let’s not forget that they looked after their fishermen when the industry had to downsize because of CAP.

Population of Denmark - 5.6 million
Danish National Board of Health estimate they will have 580,000 cases of Coronavirus with a death toll of between 1680 to 5,600 although they  estimate it could be closer to the lower figure.

Could be the first of many lower/non league clubs to take such action.

Danish National Board of Health, up to 580,000 Danes risk (not will have) being infected with the corona virus and between 1,680 and 5,600 Danes risk losing their lives, with the number of deaths expected to be at the lower end of the scale.

The latest figures from Denmark are 977 cases, 4 deaths, 1 person has recovered,  972 active cases, 18 serious/critical (0.4% fatality rate)

World Wide Total:     197,161 cases, 7,949 Deaths, 81,683 recovered, 107,529 active cases, 7,020 serious/critical (4.03% fatality rate)

Completely irrelevant how many people there are in Denmark. There isn’t a finite amount of money per country. You do realise that don’t you?!

It's very relevant because population amount and density is directly proportional to the spread of highly contagious viruses and diseases. The higher the population and density, the greater the  spread of the contagion and amount of money required to combat it.

Just on the off chance this Coronavirus doesn't pan out as expected, anyone want first dibs on 4,000 tins of beans, 12,000 tinned mackerel and 700 toilet rolls?

Well if it does go to plan then the atmosphere at your home could be have an interesting aroma - Fishy Farts!
