doc holliday 1,653 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Totally Class Act. Jurgen Klopp commenting that if one life is saved by the FA league suspension it will have been worth it .And “But I think in the present moment, with so many people around our city, the region, the country and the world facing anxiety and uncertainty, it would be entirely wrong to speak about anything other than advising people to follow expert advice and look after themselves and each other. “The message from the team to our supporters is only about your well-being. Put your health first. Don’t take any risk. Think about the vulnerable in our society and act where possible with compassion for them. “Please look after yourselves and look out for each other.” Totally Crass Act. Neil Lennon primarily concerned about getting the League title given to celtic , a long miserable face and crestfallen body language at their press conference,giving his and no doubt his club's selfish and myopic take on sporting integrity.Forget the fact that it is mathematically possible for Rangers to snatch it from them.Heard of Helicopter Sunday Lennon.

The flu kills tens of thousands every year and has done for decades. No one bats an eyelid. This virus is no different and mortality rates will be the similar.

The main difference with seasonal flu is we have vaccines immunity, thats not the case with this so there are some differences. Mortality rates will be similar but infection rates will be much, much higher so while the mortality rate will remain c1-2%, the UKs current plan will see some 40million brits get it. Were nowhere near the worst of it yet but it looks as though its going to get pretty bad. I dont think theres been an example of 40m people in the UK suffering a virus like that in close order. Certainly never happened last year, or the year before. Or any time in my lifetime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hedgehog 10,673 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Now I know it’s a different sport but the 1897 rugby union Home Championships were started but Wales pulled out due to withdrawal of the Welsh Rugby Union from the International Rugby Board. The tournament went uncompleted and has no Champion listed. That is correct because no one won it. The way it should be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 This directive from the SFA includes grassroots football all the way up to Juniors, East of Scotland, Highland, Lowland, Amatuer leagues etc etc etc. Does anyone realise or contemplate the enormous task at hand or fallout if all these leagues stopped and prizes, relegations were handed out based on results to date. It ain't happening, everything has got to be null and void. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the vulnerable in our society are generally vaccinated against the flu, the rest of us have built up a natural immunity over the years. The infection rate is therefore way way higher, there is also the possibility of a mutation resulting in much worse symptoms for all of us. but the RM experts know best 🤧 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This virus is no different and mortality rates will be the similar. Once people pull their heads out their arse and realise that they'll demand sanctions are lifted and life returns to normal. I dont know how bad the virus really is but I reckon it's worse than you're saying it is But regardless if the virus is really that bad or not, the situation regarding it's spread is just beginning. This is just the start of the outbreak, all the experts are saying this is likely to last for the next 3 months at least. If you think the football is going to be up and running again in a couple weeks I think you're deluding yourself. I was just about to book flights to come back home in August but I've put off booking them cause this situation could play out for longer than that for all we know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willis 20,919 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Concerning the football the only fair way to deal with it if the season is scrapped is to do it in a way that fair to every team and the only fair thing is to put everyone back where they were at the start and not by putting them where they might be at the end. The seasons fucked, doesn't matter if it's 3 games in or 30, if this lasts more than a couple weeks which it almost certainly will then we just need to wipe this season and start back where we were at the beginning of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
