The Night-Owl Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The FA Chairman has said he doesn't think the season will get completed. It's as good as over and cancelled. No way of fitting it all in before the Euro's, with pre-season and next season, and with contracts and things to consider. Can't see it getting completed. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/fa-verdict-coronavirus-football-season-17922984 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the World Health Organization, a pandemic is declared when a new disease for which people do not have immunity spreads around the world beyond expectations. Just saying. I think I said that...if not I'm sorry. Was responding to the 'national pandemic' bit of the post tbf and a pandemic is not a national thing. Just saying.

Still won't be feasible to complete the season during that time, if the peak time for the virus is around that time in the UK? Season should be cancelled because simply suspending it, when we haven't even reached the peak, will just clog up the fixtures and make it impossible to fit everything in, with contracts and other commitments and pre-season, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 52 minutes ago, prowl said: If we went into total lockdown now the number of infections would start to drop almost immediately. The official figures would continue to rise as infected people become symptomatic and get tested. In just over 2 weeks the official figures would start to drop but deaths would increase thereafter as infected people who are going to die will continue to do so after a month. Go into lockdown now and we get on top of it quickly. Delay means more infections and more deaths. The government seems to want people to get infected to create a pool of people with herd immunity to keep things ticking over. That may work if the virus doesn't mutate. It is a type of rhinovirus and they seem to mutate regularly. The truth is no one knows what is the best course of action although China points the way. (if we believe their figures) People and organisations have started to take things into their own hand but really we could do with a lead from the government so we can all get on the same page.

(if we believe their figures) People and organisations have started to take things into their own hand but really we could do with a lead from the government so we can all get on the same page. We're way past lockdown. Had we wanted to go down that route we should have done it back in January. That being said, how long do you then go into lockdown for? Would the public stand for it? Going into lockdown now would simply be another delay tactic, as the virus is already rife throughout the country. Yes, official number do not back that up, but you have to assume this given the high proportion of 'well-known' people who have tested positive. Our peak would stay flatter but we'd be open to further waves with no significant immunity. You're right that herd immunity is the way the government are going. Scarily that will involve 70% of the population getting infected if it were to be successful. Delaying this strategy isn't ideal. You're right that the virus is prone to mutation, though this doesn't affect our herd immunity plan. Examples from Spanish flu confirm this in Copenhagen, where the deadly second wave barely caused a ripple due to widespread immunity from the first wave. Interestingly, Denmark are not going down this route for Covid-19. I have faith in the government, despite not being a Tory, that this is probably the best way forward, at least now because we're not in a position to implement other potentially effective measures due to it being too late to. I agree that a better lead from them is needed. I hope that our course of action, a unique one at that, proves to be the best one longer term, though I still have some doubts (it is Boris after all). Who knows whether a second or third wave will develop, and how deadly they'll be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 10 minutes ago, Salmonbones said: This virus is so strange - to infect but not affect under 10's is confusing. It gives them immunity - good. Great. The fact it attacks old, infirm or those who are ill anyway, strikes of a Darwinism thought - survival of the fittest. Affecting males predominantly, well that is not normal in any virus or disease. Finally, and this is at the moment unconfirmed - but this seems to be making over 40 males infertile. We only have one small Chinese set (about 100 people tested) to prove this. If this does not strike of a man mad disease created to cull the human population, then you need a reality check. The death toll and those infected do not marry up to the hype - I hope that remains the case in the next 6 months. Lay off the booze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
