No further tests for the 3 players showing symptoms, it’s been called a seasonal illness it’s no wonder they have a cold it was very cold and extremely wet on Monday.

Totally understand that, which is why I agree with isolation, until tested you don’t know. 

So these 3 players are out for 2 weeks as they don't meet the criteria for a test. Not sure we should agree to play matches.

That is why I’m calling for the league to suspend like in Italy

I've been coughing and sneezing since the Vanilla game. Fortunately no high temperature nor shivering so I guess it's nothing more than a common cold. I have no rung 111 and would you know it, I'm still alive!!

At the same time the virus can also mutate itself to a lesser strain either in terms of virulence or transmission

It can, but transmission is unlikely to be one that it devolves, however it is no benefit to a virus to kill its host... so we will all be fine I’m sure

I think we are now the only top league in football who hasn’t put some sort of measure in place

We have only a third of the cases of countries like Germany, France and Spain and a fraction of those in Italy. 

 

They are further along the journey than we are and if you believe what the experts are telling us, timing is crucial for taking extreme measures.

🎶We're on our way, on our way. To isolation we're on our way.

Ricky P ACL, Jamie Vardy not feeling well. Grab some pasta cos Leicesters on their way 🎶

Just symptoms though right? Or have they confirmed they have it?

Rimming in Thailand I'm hearing?

You do know transmission from droplets in the air via coughing/sneezing makes it an airborne virus right?

It is not really what you would regard as an airborne virus like measles. See reading such as: www.livescience.com/amp/how-coronavirus-spreads.html

 

If it is airborne, we are in even bigger trouble.

 

It doesn’t stay “airborne” for long. It needs to be carried by droplets as you say, but droplets drop to a surface and unless you are in the vicinity of someone with the virus who just coughed, you wouldn’t get the virus “airborne”. You would get it because you touched a surface that has the droplets which virus can live in for days, or through direct touching/hugging.

Whilst this is of course very true,  if we are being encouraged to not even shake hands, then surely the closer and more physical contact between players inherent in any football match has also got to be questionable. How many players cough and spit during a game who then go on to touch their faces for example?

 

As Rodgers said in his Sky interview, these things are a matter of health and players have family and children. To those having tests I hope they come back negative and wish the very best for them. Health is more important than football. 

Yeah, I agree with you. Was only clarifying for others what is normally regarded as an airborne virus which this one is not.

 

But yeah, this appears to be quite contagious so to avoid this being a public health disaster (eg. load on the health system), I support taking quick decisive action and everyone changing their habits to be ultra hygienic.

 

Stay healthy.

I think that I have deciphered the 

COVID-19 code so that we know where the virus originated:

 

People living in Coventry who look like Ian Dowie and whose favourite footballer is Richie Wellens

It can travel via a cough, if you have ever watched myth busters you will know how infectious that is... it is similar to cold/flu, very contiguous. A whole room gets covered by a cough, the droplets have a tendency to travel in the air 

I think we don’t disagree, just that I was clarifying this is not airborne. Please see another post of mine:

Take care all. Stay healthy.

When I was a kid, if any other kids got measles then all the other kids would be invited round in the hope that they would catch it too as it is a much nastier disease in later life and you can't catch it twice.

 

By the same principle, we should deliberately infect all footballers and playing staff with some exceptions (not you Woy), suspend the season for 3 weeks and off we go again.  Problem solved.

Way our players get injured at the drop of a hat they'll probably  pick this up on Saturday!!

Except you can apparently be reinfected by Covid-19. So not such a great master plan really.

Well that might be a fatal flaw in the plan, but really?  Are you sure?  Normally you can't get infected by the same virus twice as you develop antibodies against it.

You can catch the flu, get rid of it, and then still catch it next year can’t you? The same as a cold.

I think it has already split into different strains, which means you can get one form and then another... flu is the same, it is possible to get multiple strains

Heard the same. We will likely be affected by this pandemic for much longer than 'a few weeks'.

Okay they are out for 7 seven days. With mild symptoms they would probably have still been available for the weekend if not for the virus. This doesn't seem fair.

Once you have it , your body will have a defence against it. At the moment everyone is open to getting it thats why its so contagious.

Watch Brendan’s press conference instead of panicking about the virus
