Probably because he spent about 90% of the last month of his life around the disease.

Exact same happened with Ebola/SARS etc. Healthcare workers who are around the disease for such a huge, uninterrupted, length of time get absolutely battered by it. 

Genuine question.

How can you get "absolutely battered" by it?

Surely you either have it or you dont. Once you have had it and got over it your in the clear?

Is that not the case?

That was the report that concerned me a tad. To be fair though, no mention of young folk actually dying but it doesn’t sound pleasant.
Yeah that's definitely the scariest thing I've read so far. Cheers for sharing.

f**k.

Part of our flights got cancelled today, called BA and they basically said we can put you on earlier plane we’ve no idea if you’ll get there or home. Could face disruption and delays and they’ve no idea what’s going happen.  
So took full refund option. 

Only question mark is if Disney will refund our day tickets. Only had couple nights in hotel and car hire and they were cancelled today no charge.

Mikel arteta has it now.

It would be absolutely fucking hilarious if Liverpool were denied the league because of this.

I don’t think it will transpire, but imagine coronavirus denying Liverpool their first title in thirty years, and stopping nine-in-a-row for Celtic, all in the same season.

’Mon the coronavirus.

That’s pretty much the same thing I read a couple of days back and then blamed all the wrong people for out of panic.

Im still not sure about what the government are advised to be doing but perhaps letting kids roam about with older people is a recipe for problems?

Flip side is why is no other country doing this? They’re all pretty much shutting down events and schools.

I think there does need to be more transparency and I would love to hear if we are basing the ideas from advice from China or Europe? How can we make a decision so different despite not dealing with big numbers like in China? If it turns out that if you isolate or don’t isolate then you still get the same numbers then I can understand but how can you slow something down by not doing anything?

Large scale events should be called off all over the uk without question.

The explosion of grief between the two clubs in such a scenario would probably push the earth off its axis. 

Tremendous.

They are by far the worst government ever and it gives me great pleasure to laugh in the face of any Scot who voted for this shitshow ahead of self government.

Defending voting for the Union after this is over will become virtually impossible and I can't wait to hear the shit they come away with.

Eh, aren't all four UK governments in agreement over the approach and working together on this?

Don't forget Leeds. Plus their manager is quite old.

A few months back my work sent out home working agreements to everyone to complete. I didn't bother, making a throwaway comment about there needing to be a fucking zombie apocalypse to prevent me making it to our office. 

Six months later *global pandemic*

Think i might have tempted fate tbh.

That's enough of this "runaway leaders being denied a league win" chat, thankyouverymuch

What about "Firmly-rooted basement boys for the first time in decades being denied an SPFL relegation playoff" chat?

Must admit, I'm kind of warming to the idea.

I'm fine with United promoted and Brechin safe.

Everyone else can take a flying f**k to themselves

“One club executive told the Guardian they expected the season to be suspended for several weeks in the light of the Arteta news, and didn’t rule out the possibility of the whole season being voided.”

 

Don’t see how the SPFL can bodyswerve this possibility.

What would the reason be for cancelling though? The CMO said today that it wouldn't be due to public health concerns

One thing I heard on a Q+A thing on R5 earlier.

 

Somecunto asked if you have the normal flu, could you catch the Coronavirus?

 

Answer was almost 100% 'not'.

 

Makes all those flu jabs an expensive and deadly waste of time then.
