It's not possible to mitigate them all whilst functioning as a society. Once deaths are almost into single figures daily in Scotland over a period of time we have to look at trying to take steps to getting back to normal. Sorry, I wasn’t thinking of it in terms of when we get back to normal, I agree that when deaths go down to single figures over a period and we are reasonably safe from a second peak, is probably the time. I just mean that I have seen a lot of people using it as justification as to why the measures don’t apply to them or why they aren’t worried about getting so should be allowed to go out etc. Just think it’s risky to rely on if you are younger.

Bairnardo Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 This will prove unpopular I am sure, and in no way am I trying to say that yer protesting American isnt an idiot, but they are being misrepresented somewhat IMO. Their issue which is always prevalent over there, is with the government overstepping the mark as per the constitution. I think their constitution fetish is hilarious, but that's mostly what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the Government won't and can't give a flying fcuck about Football in the middle of a global pandemic. Remember the majority of our leagues have already closed down / been finished early anyway, so what's good for the Goose and all that.....

The football authorities / clubs themselves deemed it would be impossible to play out the Championship and below, as such, what makes you or anyone else believe that they'll be able to play out the top league ?? Does the virus not have any effect on the Premier league players just those below ?? My main argument was around the fact that you seemed to reckon that the football authorities could somehow overrule the Government just because clubs may be struggling financially. However I'm sure there are many businesses who are more important than football clubs struggling much worse. Ultimately none of us know what will happen or when it will happen, however what I do know is that Neil Doncaster will have very little say in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the media help with this. There are people out there who will have no idea how many people die each day normally in the UK, and when they hear "x amount of deaths due to covid-19" are outraged as they have nothing to balance it with. The time will come when the government and media will need to show covid-19 deaths relative to total deaths, and total deaths relative to average deaths. It's going to be normal for some time for people to die from Covid-19. Like deaths from other causes, we will have to accept this and take steps ourselves to lower the risk of this, in the same way that we lower the risk to ourselves from other causes of death. At this particular moment the numbers for Covid-19 are too high, hence why lockdown has been extemded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you actually read before the veins pop out of your head? Of course we can't play football now. All forms of football are currently suspended in Scotland until 10th June, which is the correct thing to do in the current situation. None of that has absolutely any bearing on whether or not season 2020/21 can start in August. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
