I personaly have cancelled a short break next week and moved my family holiday from June to September, i know that not everyone would be in a position to do this and it is at great financial sacrifice to my self. but i have done this for the good of my self and my family as i have elderly parents, who i fear would not make it through should i give them a virus that is known to be particually harsh to the elders of our society, i would expect that other people would have the same amount of respect for not just my parents but their own and their firends. I fear though that people are stupid and selfish and will go to large events and spread or contract this virus with no thought of any other human being. please everyone be safe and care about one another, dont be selfish now is the time to forget how our race has been programmed for the last 150 years and get back to being a people united against a common enemy that can be quantified for once.

It's going to be a struggle. There is no chance this is just going to go away overnight, the cases will continue to rise at an exponential rate. Your normal routines (like going to the football) will change. There needs to be a balance between panicking and being lapse. I'm sorry but I think this is a massive overreaction. Life is not going to change quite significantly and it is not going to be a struggle - there's a very high chance of some large gatherings being cancelled or postponed for a short period of time and there will likely still be a bunch of morons panic buying from the shops but it's not the bloody end of the world.

If we have a huge outbreak we might see big meetings postponed though, Aintree a possible in a couple of weeks if we are then at the point Italy is now. I suspect it's the timing at this stage more than anything. I'm firmly in the don't panic camp tbh but was being a little tongue in cheek as to try and further prove the point I made this morning. I'd be interested to know more detail about the Cheltenham case though, as if it had the potential to be spread further then thousands of people descending on such a small town could be the epicentre for something much bigger. Just hope we make a bigger effort of controling it than the Italians, piss up and brewery are words that come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope we make a bigger effort of controling it than the Italians, piss up and brewery are words that come to mind. To be fair, from what i have been reading / hearing the Italians didnt take the quarantine particularly seriously, i read an account of some guy that just went driving around from town to town. I think they will take this more serious now, apart from the selfish twats that decided to turn tail and flee between the hours of hearing about the quarantine and the time it was imposed. I dont think they have a choice and heavy fines and jail time will be thrown around if it isnt observed. Some of the more scary things about all this are the reports about the prisons rioting, they can smell weakness and will continue to push an already stretched system until they get out, Iran have just decided to turn their prisoners loose! it all feels a bit like the zoo keeper letting the animals out because there will be no one left to look after them. I am really hoping that people in this country look after themselves and each other, those that are unable to prepare for a lock down are helped buy the government, retailers and society, those that are able to prepare do so in a sensible non selfish manner. i dont know if im hoping for to much.

Guest Markyblue Posted 9 March 2020 Share Posted 9 March 2020 Sky reporting 46 new cases in last 24 hours , so down on previous 24 hour total. Long way to go but a small plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long way to go but a small plus. out of how many tested? the problem with this reporting of number of cases is it totally depends on the amount tested, some will only be being tested once in hospital or worst case, dead. If everyone in the country took a test every day for the next month (which is of course unfeasible) then we would get a true infection rate, what we currently have is not any way of monitoring to a precise level. the best (but by no means comprehensive) data is from South Korea, they have tested something like 150k, way more than any other country in the world, compare that to the USA for example something pitiful like 1500 tests and most of those are on ****ing boats.

Considering the places these matches are in what are now high risk locations for the virus spreading, and they want to contain it as much as possible... I'm literally not complaining about them taking those measures. I totally get it. Just think that game last night made it hit home how crap it'll actually be. But not a lot else you can do really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamark Posted 9 March 2020 Share Posted 9 March 2020 We can only wait and be sensible with our own health may be a good thing to make folk more aware long term. 8k a year die from flu related stuff another 3k from norovirus(vomiting) thousands from smoking related,drink.drug related,road deaths. No one is immune as yet but vast majority in good health can deal with it apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. The more you test the more you will find.From what we are being told, for the majority of people getting this virus will be like a bad cold/mild flu. Unless we are being duped to prevent panic, which i think unlikely, I suspect that initially, the spread was down to the fact that many people who contracted it simply put it down to this and carried on as normal, thereby spreading it around long before anyone knew exactly what it was. Lets face it most of us simply carry on with our normal lives, including going to the pub, football matches and work etc when we have a cold lest we be labelled snowflakes, melts or cry babies etc. Now we habve a heightened awareness, i also suspect that people will come forward as soon as they think they have symptoms and hence more tests. This also skews the figures somewhat, as we are only testing people that have presented with some sort of symptons, or those that have been in contact with them, rather than random samples of the population. That said, we should of course be sensible and take appropriate precautions when advised to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just wrong. I’ve always thought that football would be awful behind closed doors but games like the England v Croatia and the one you’ve just said makes you realise that fans really are so important for the game.

Thing is, it will be the end of the world for some people. I have an elderly Dad in a care home who introduced me to the City when I was a nipper. I will do everything I can not to pass on a virus that will most probably finish him off. That might mean that he won't be getting his twice weekly visit from me to talk about the City. I'm worried for him and other elderly and vulnerable people. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me started on the USA; turned up late in 1918 and (the sensible ones will admit) brought the 'Spanish' flu with them. And now they are 'led' by an orange twat who thinks this is all fake news.
