People don't take responsibly, thats the point. Let me give you one example, 3 chaps at work go out every day this week to buy sandwiches at the supermarket. One small thing they could do is buy their lunches for the week and take just the one visit. They couldn't see that when I pointed it out. Government advice doesn't extend beyond hand washing. It does nothing to to increase preparedness or reduce risk to others. It doesn't go close to suggesting that you could save lives by not taking unnecessary trips out, for example. I could go on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, everyone should start to adapt their behaviour right now; not because of an order from the government, but from a sense of responsibility to everyone, and particularly the most vulnerable in our society. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. How is it trolling to say there’s more to life than football and whether or not you get to an away game? Your names not been in my mouth all day cheers I just responded and called bullshit on your pity party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This for me, even being at an age that's low risk I attend games with my dad who is in his 60's so it seems an unnecessary risk. Even if its not on red button another solution despite it not being live would be I have a wyscout account so can watch the game in full when it goes on there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out government resigned to 80% possibly getting it. UK plc is gambling with millions of lives. Worst case the government expects 80% of a 60mil population to get the virus and 1% will die, that’s around 500,000 deaths, at best they expect half of this. This is not scaremongering it’s real and has happened before 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedred31 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Things moving v quickly now. A couple of days ago, I did not think it possible that season would be cancelled. Think it’s quite likely now that City have played their last competitive game until August. Expect Euros to go too. Medical situation worrying, obviously but, without losing perspective, it’s the economic situation that is really terrifying. V few small to medium size retailers, pubs, restaurants or other leisure businesses will survive this without massive government intervention. Footfall in London already down 27%, in Newcastle it’s 47%. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
