Savage Henry Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Again, this is not wrong, but the logical extension is that none of us should be going to our work or going outside in general. If that becomes the general advice then fine, but until then I am not sure why footballers shouldn't be acting like the rest of us in terms of going about their daily life as much as possible whilst taking sensible precautions.Because most of us don’t run around in the snow and rain wearing cheap polyester t-shirts for a living. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're past the control phase. Stopping football matches will have no significant effect on its spread. People are panicking and it's counter-productive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that got to do with it? You don't get coronavirus from the weather ffs. People are going to catch it from family members at the end of the day. We can't stop it.

Swello Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I see the leagues down south have postponed until April 3rd. I'm happy to admit that I'm not an expert, or even reasonably well informed about this stuff - but surely by 3rd April, the situation will be worse (and won't even have peaked)? My working assumption was that any "postponement" would in reality be until the middle of summer at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are reasonable people in the China Flu thread that seem to think there’s no rhyme nor reason to what’s happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing like extremely minor sporting achievements to help ease the worries of an actual global pandemic. You should be ashamed of yourself.
