maybe so, I'm happy to accept if I'm wrong

And a different class of people (for the most part) enjoying a jolly at Cheltenham all week. Far, far bigger crowd than any football match

Interestingly uefa refused wolves request to postpone their game with Olympiacos so they don’t seem interested in cancelling anything unless they really have to

I think I see what you’re saying now sorry, it seems the forest players were being tested before making a decision - presumably they can’t test until a few days after contact as it may not show up or the delay was simply because they weren’t aware there was a potential issue until the owner announced it? Seems like they are all negative so should be ok to go ahead

He only revealed he had it yesterday ?

A friend just came Monday from a mediterranean cruise, including parts of Italy that are now locked down (albeit there end of Feb before lockdown). No screening, no tests (and he actually has a cough, though he had it before)

Sensible approach where it's possible without impact to business. We started preparing our teams last week but most people are still in the office at the moment. Anyone coughing gets a stern look mind ?

Millwall staff have, according to BBC article today. Forest are waiting on feedback from an EFL investigation into circumstances. Reports state that he met players and staff on the day. Why is there little point self isolating after contact? The point is to stop it spreading

Arsenal played Olympiacos recently and some of the players met with the owner after the game. Also this was a Premier League decision, no that's likely why no mention of Forest - but based on the fact he was at the Forest game the other night and met with the players, I would assume they will take similar measures. Would be odd if they didnt I think you're being unnecessarily pedantic, it's like a kid whose just learnt something new and keeps repeating it every chance they can

How can you be so sure? If Arsenal players are self-isolating because of their contact with him then surely Forest players should do the same?

Last I heard they sent quite a serious email about the number of memes etc and basically telling staff they aren’t to engage with or share these memes. I believe some of their sales have taken a hit especially in China but mostly due to people not going out rather than any issues with the name. incidentally sales increased in the US by 5% in the 4 weeks up mid February

I read a bit about the Spanish flu and why it was so deadly. It’s not in the best interests of the virus to kill its host as it needs to spread further. Because the Spanish flu came from a strain of bird flu originally it hadn’t adapted to human life and therefore was more severe initially. Over time the virus adapts to become less lethal so that it can spread further, so it’s possible your thoughts above are correct. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20181029-why-the-flu-of-1918-was-so-deadly

Maybe not, but you can carry the virus undetected and pass on to someone who might die? I’m not worried at all for my sake, had flu at Xmas and survived just fine after a week of isolation (might even have been this!) but I’ve got vulnerable people in my family that I wouldn’t want to pass on to so sensible precautions are wise. Im fairly with you though, I’m not going full panic mode and locking myself indoors. I’ll still live my life but with a little more attention to hygiene than maybe I would have

I bet Cheltenham goes ahead as normal

I guess it still mitigates the risk to a degree? You're still going to be bringing over 100k people to one place that would otherwise not come into contact with that many people? (using Glastonbury as an example)

FlyBe has collapsed and blamed it partly on Corona Virus. To be fair they've had issues for a while but I expect the sudden drop in demand wont have helped against budgeted figures

I think i'm the same. I was in the "meh, this is overblown" category and I still think it will be all forgotten in a few weeks (or at least wont be dominating the media) That said, we've had two people turn up to work who have recently been to North Italy just before it hit the news and another come back from Helsinki on Monday. We also work in an environment with lots of products shipped in and out from around the world, and lots of eastern european workers coming and going from across the continent so that chances of it coming in are probably higher than a typical office job. I've got a couple of relatives who are generally unwell already so I wouldn't want to potentially catch something and passing it on before I even realise I've got it. I'm certainly not in panic mode, I'll be gutted if Glastonbury and the Euro's get cancelled

has A manager ever joined a club and done so badly? Weren’t they top 4 when he came in and then won 1 since ? couldn’t make it up!

80% of the population ? I think you’re being a bit dramatic.

Or a distraction from other things going on maybe?

Really? That’s exactly the sort of thing that would get posted here too

No, it shows the mindset of one rovers fan. We’ve got our own idiots remember

Do we just say this every time a club goes under, until the next time? Nothing’s changing within football and if anything the spending/gambling on promotion is getting more reckless

I dont think we're ones to comment about performances against Sunderland

Not dodgy at all signing those 2 McKay lads... ?
