Normally I leave the toilet with near frostbite, after rinsing my hands with ice-cold water and then giving them a blast from the arctic hand-dryers... Good luck with that! The water and hand dryers are warmer in the Lansdown Stand loos than the Dolman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 I'm hoping the bloke behind me is a bit calmer tomorrow. Normal get covered in spit after he has an outburst at Johnson.

Kid in the Riot Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 6 hours ago, BS2 Red said: I know somebody who was on the same flight. A bloke my wife works with received a phone call yesterday to say there was somebody with coronavirus on the plane. My wife is now terrified, but I have been trying to tell her that it’s unlikely her workmate has caught it and unlikely again that she has caught it from him. 5 hours ago, Frenchay Red said: Seems very lax if passengers arriving from N Italy are not health screened or quarantined. N Italy appears to be more of a threat than China. Hundreds/thousands kept on a cruise ships, whereas travel to and from N Italy carries on unchecked, or so it appears. Never mind, wash your hands and sing happy birthday. Someone at my wife's work is returning from N Italy tomorrow and has already been told to work from home for two weeks. Apparently he's had the audacity to be very unhappy about this, despite there being a couple of vulnerable people in the office including a lady who's 7 months pregnant. I honestly despair at the selfishness of some people. He could have easily cancelled or postponed his trip, but no he HAD to go despite knowing the possible consequences and is now whinging about it. All it takes is a bit of discipline and the virus can't spread. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the other chap you have ever so slightly over egged what I said. The fact is there is no antidote but you are not going to die unless you are very weak or very unhealthy in which case of course stay away from a crowd much the same if you have flu which, even with an antidote, killed hundreds of thousands last year and does every year. Get a grip. Hysteria is beyond a joke. If you are seriously weak or ill. Otherwise get over it and get back to work. ... Exactly like flu. Odd how making a calm, considered, factually accurate point prompts people to say things like “get a grip” and “hysteria is beyond a joke”. It is a fact that the fatality rate is substantially higher than flu, and it is also a fact that we can all take simple measures to help prevent the spread to vulnerable people who would otherwise survive. And it’s not hysteria to state that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) As a Raynauds sufferer, I'm not encouraged to properly hand wash with ice cold water and cold air driers. Please BCFC stop penny pinching at this level with such a big risk to health. I note that the premier league are now considering banning over 70's or at least advising them not to attend matches. I'm guessing that the EFL may follow suit. Edited March 6, 2020 by wendyredredrobin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 I keep hearing people claiming that “people are panicking”. Where is this apparent panic? Strikes me that more people are claiming there’s a panic, than there are people actually panicking! What I’ve seen in the main - much like this thread - is sensible discussion, an appreciation that the fatality rate is low, but equally an understanding that it does represent a threat to some members of our society, that it does have the potential to become a bigger problem, and that there are measures we can take to help prevent the spread. Meanwhile everyone is still going about their business unless they have a specific reason not to do so. None of the above constitutes a “panic”. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was I wrong? I said it would be ridiculous to cancel or postpone the season. And it would be. There is barely a case in this country! Again, that wasn’t wrong. China situation is improving. If it isn’t why are factories opening again and capacity increasing? 15% capacity last week. 25% this week. I’ve got a 2-3 week delay on goods. Not too bad. Thanks for confirming my correct statements. Seems like you are allowing the hyped up media to sweep you up. Have I suggested we act irresponsibly? Your post is very odd indeed. Everyone should go about their lives as normal and take the recommended precautions. Not attending football matches is not currently a recommended precaution.

Bris Red Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 4 hours ago, havanatopia said: Sturney and Red's links illustrate what we are already seeing which is most people recovering after a few days just like flu because it is a flu albeit a new strain. Even though we have an antidote for flu people still die in very large numbers and yet we do not panic do we. The percentages frankly are all over the place and this is very misleading. The fact is people will die of all kinds of things no more and no less harmful than Covid 19 so it is no more dangerous IF you are ordinarily healthy because it is not a killer. What whips this up is the media. If there is no story out there they will find one. They always do so they have something to ram home day in day out. Govt's are then forced to act or the population go mad. That's modern society for you. Nail on the head. Brexit has simmered down and the media and tabloids are absolutely desperate for another story to ram home, Covid 19 has come at absolutely perfect timing. The general public are so easy to predict, mass hysteria soon ensues and as you said the government are forced to do something. Its all absolute bollox that will blow over in a few months.

Doubled from an extremely low base. When we are talking such low numbers it is no surprise it has risen.

A society truly “panicking” would amount to a lot more than a shortage of loo roll at Tesco. I think the overwhelming majority of us appreciate the risk is small and are continuing to go about our daily business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
