Mate - I genuinely don’t know. I’ve lost pension money on the stock market - the world has turned upside down in a few weeks. I’m 50:50 to sit inside a cupboard for a month, or say **** it and go to the game and shout out my support. These are unprecedented times.

I mean I’m 28, if I get this thing I’ll be fine. But I don’t wanna risk passing it to my Dad, in his 60’s, or whoever else. It just feels like common sense at this stage really. I just have this gut feeling some tit will be at the games with a cough thinking it’s nothing and then uh oh. Better to be safe than sorry, surely. Understandable. But it really is a risk analysis. Will you be sitting near someone with the virus in a crowd of 20k ? What's the odds ? Or, if you go to a pub before or after the game, what's the odds ? Probably more likely I would think. Or, if you go to work, what's the odds ? etc. If you dad is in his 60's with no underlying conditions, what's the odds of him having the virus and it being fatal ? Up to you, you do the risk assessment but I do understand where you are coming from. Personally, I'll go to the games as long as they are being played and as long as I don't have any symptoms. Off to the theatre tomorrow night - no problems or worries at all. Life goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I was never going to the Owls game (nothing to do with Coronavirus, I`ve given midweek games a swerve all season due to distance and work) but am aiming to do the other four home games.

Which is exactly why it’s got so bad in Italy, all the kids went off to stay with grandparents and infected them. Not just that, initially families all went off on holiday when schools shut spreading it everywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 The fairest way to deal with this would be to base the final table on the first half of the season where each club has played each other once. That is a league rather than a half-arsed 70% finished league It won't happen though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For night matches I have a mad rush home, barely time for a quick shower and straight out so I can park ,and then can't even have a drink. Might be my choice too.

Olé Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 11 hours ago, Agard Days Night said: Meaning the at risk older generations are likely to die. But @Olé can’t get to the football. Will you please get some perspective on this and think of the real issues at hand. Absolute shambles and people need to get a grip and get Rob to the match. I've been working all day and you've had my name in your mouth all day from the mentions I've just seen. I'm sorry that you didn't get the catch you were fishing for, I can't imagine how sad your life must be to spend your day trolling people on the web. While you're trying to be clever and acting like I don't care about people dieing, I had challenged why people were flying in and out of the country freely but there was talk about shutting football down as a priority. The problem didn't come here via football. Exactly ten years ago the whole of Europe shut down flights in seconds and for two weeks. It's that easy. Am sure it would've been more effective. I know this because it took me a week to get back to Bristol from work and I missed my dad passing away after a year by his side in intensive care. So spare me your pathetic trolling like I don't care about older generations dieing. I was very clear I was talking about double standards. No one said shit about flights or stopping them yet it was obviously the source of the problem. But now there is a narrative that stopping football is the plan. I call out bull**** you just post it. Now kindly **** off and stop mentioning me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of factories now back open and capacity growing weekly. Cheers China not happy with a fraction of 1% getting it so take stern and effective action. Out government resigned to 80% possibly getting it. UK plc is gambling with millions of lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 4 hours ago, bcfc01 said: Seems a very sensible way forward to me. We are a bit behind other parts of Europe in the spread of the virus and its probably too soon to go into lockdowns (for reasons which have been explained fully) - but they will come in the near future. Perfectly happy with the non-panic mode of the government so far. Not particularly a fan of this government (that’s probably an understatement) but they seem to be acting on medical and scientific experts advice about the right time to make certain decisions. listening to them earlier it seemed to make sense, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt for now and hope their plan is the right one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedorDead BCFC Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Doesn’t seem that long ago the health chiefs on this thread was saying this is nothing to worry about, common flu kills more, which is still a true fact. But reading comments today there seems to be a difference in posters accepting it’s getting bad now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pillred Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 If some of you feel that strongly about this virus and want to blame the government for not acting what exactly do you want them to do? it's possible to be responsible for your own actions, personally I think they are trying to strike a balance between respecting our personal freedom and not trying to scare the living daylights out of people, I live with someone who is in great danger from this, I wont go into detail but believe me if she gets it she probably wouldn't survive it, all this scare talk will only make things worse look after yourself in any way you can but don't let it rule your life, at the moment the chances of getting the virus are still very small let's hope it turns out to be much less of a threat than some on here are making it out to be. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only shred of positivity I can muster - if there really are thousands of undiagnosed folk, yet the deaths are accurate, the death rate may be closer to 0.1%, rather than 1 to 2 %. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
