At the moment containment will have some effect but by May it will be way beyond that point. I really don't believe that this virus is stoppable. The worrying bit is the 2% mortality rate, though normal flu is probably 1% isn't it. I doubt that a vaccine will be available until the next flu season and because of the type of virus it is, I doubt whether it is going to burn itself out. While we are in the containment phase, many events will be cancelled, but by May there will probably be no point. 80% of the population I think you’re being a bit dramatic.

bristolcitysweden Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Tomorrow will be interesting . The season could be closed down in two weeks time https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-51708550 Very much doubt Scandinavian Branch will be allowed flights, train journeys, hotels, pubs etc. for Boro (a) Easter Monday.

wendyredredrobin Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 So with our luck, the season will be cancelled just as we climb to 6th in the Championship. As I can't see this virus being contained, I am not optimistic about the season continuing anyway. Remember that if 2% of cases turn out to be fatal, maybe 1% of footballers could die too. That means an even chance of losing a squad member and maybe 400 of our fans. A truly horrible thought. At least the Sags will only lose 120. I don't suppose they will be refunding our season ticket money either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) No politician will ever risk here position being any worse than politicians abroad. We listen to muppett Johnson. The Swiss don't allow events attracting more than 1,000 people. Although most of them are totally braindead not a single politician in Europe will go any higher risking their position.

bristolcitysweden Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) The Swiss currently don't allow any events possibly attracting more than 1,000 people. Is any other country in Europe within the foreseeable future willing to upper that figure possibly risking their governmental position? Not very likely.

LondonBristolian Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) On 29/02/2020 at 07:53, Kid in the Riot said: It's considerably more dangerous than flu, and more contagious. What's your basis for it being more contagious? To be clear, I am not saying you are wrong but that I haven't seen this anywhere and the things I had read had suggested that, at the moment, it still was not clear exactly how contagious it is? Clearly a lack of vaccine is a substantial issue which means people who are not vulnerable to most strains of flu due to vaccines are still vulnerable to this but I was not aware there was evidence of it being more contagious?

mozo Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Is it wrong that I secretly hoped that Ighalo would infect the entire Man United squad just to punish them for making such a preposterous signing?! Oh it is? Sorry. Has conspiracy theorists hypothesised that illuminati funded scientists created and spread the virus as a method of an eugenics motivated population cull? If not, I'm getting on Twitter forthwith... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Fans will start making their own decisions. Those aged 60+ may not feel a crowded concourse is the best place to be the way things seem to be going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Sinclair Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 if they are panicking about big crowds at matches putting people at risk of this virus (Bristol Rovers FC notwithstanding, I've seen bigger crowds on the bus stop on Redcliff Hill), I wonder if they would play games behind closed doors instead, to fulfil the fixture list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 This virus appears to affect those with underlying health conditions. Just what do you tell the families who lose a loved one because they had an underlying health condition? Personally, I'm not worried, however, I'm sympathetic to those who do worry.

Wanderingred Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 I work in China. My company sent me home last month and I'm waiting for this to blow over so I can go back. Might be out of work for a couple more months yet, but I guess you can't put a price on our health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
