Where as it come from?

Have they found patient 0 yet?

Nah dont think so.

Its been a fairly typical species jump from some dingy backwater in China.

Oh aye, if it gets that bad, then it should trump fitba etc. I'm just cynical enough to remember the fuss over Sars and the Millennium Bug and all these other catastrophes that were going to strike. 

I was to but we're way past SARS in far less time.

1st death from Corona virus in the UK today.

I think if the worst came to the worst the SFA would play games behind closed doors until the tarriers have their league flag.

Aye we're well past it but of those 90k infected something like 85k are in China. And of those 85k, more than half have been discharged from hospital already.

If it comes to it then knowing the SFA, they will do the exact opposite of every other Football Association in Europe.

Thats exactly what the will do, unless players are infected, which they probably will be within that next month.

As soon it hits the actual teams, and not just the fans, this is when it comes to the point of cancelling things.

If one catches it and recovers, can it be caught again?

Aye, some woman has had it twice

Doubtful, but there are two strains of it now.

The person reported to have had it twice is more likely to have had it and not fully recovered and the symptoms have got worse again.

You can catch both strains of it though, although the new strain is the more infectious and is the one doing the rounds int his country.

This as the potential then to go on for a while.

Are both strains the same symptoms?

One is a flu and the other is death

Aye both pretty much the same. One seems to transmit easier, but that about the only difference.

Its quite common for a virus to mutate quickly once it has jumped species, so not quite as scary as it may sound.

For now yes but pretty much every government is admitting they can't contain it.

Thanks for the advice and info. I have MS and want to be prepared for what's coming.

On an individual basis, the risk is still really quite low, so im sure you will be absolutely fine.

Its just one of these things that when it hits the whole population, it has a big effect.

If this season gets binned 

[Don81 2,842]

Back to the subject, in a way the chance of this happening makes the current form all the more frustrating. There is still a possibility of us holding out long enough to stop them clinching the title but we'll probably blow that as well. If the season shuts down in April and they have already won the title I'll be fucking livid.

I get your point but it's not like they aren't winning this one fairly

True, but tbf if we were sitting at the top of the league with the same gap the campaign to void this seasons honours would be well underway, they have no shame...

[NixonRFC 1,345]

Nothing will be voided, particularly in wee nations like ours, the bigger nations who get actual summers off have a bit of lee-way to postpone things but UEFA comps start early July and they'll want all participating clubs confirmed ASAP.

 

Would imagine we'll finish the season playing behind closed doors, scant consolation is when they win the title no cunt will be there to see it in person, same with the cup final, played at an empty hampden, would ve quite surreal to see tbf

Can see them ditching the scottish cup tbh . Will do their best to finish the league. A real chance uefa comps will be put on hold next year if it really takes hold in Europe.

Good point or just restrict the tickets for one set of fans .More likely
