    I haven't seen any mention of the damage it would do to clubs if they were forced to play the remainder of the season behind closed doors.It won't have much effect on the bigger clubs but from League one down as well as all non league, Scottish, Welsh and Irish clubs they would struggle to survive having to play several games with no fans...

    Yes, gate money is a tiny proportion of revenue for EPL clubs, but elsewhere it's the main source of income.

    I just hope they dont go down the route of closed doors.  for me it defeats the object   also it makes the league unfair     Having  advantage of playing at home will be negated.   Fingers crossed it does not get to that point 

    Yes, it certainly hasn't helped Ipswich Town. :oldsmile:

    Maybe  Yarmy  But that game i think  was free on the i player      Prem games are on Sky and BT  most cannot watch at home.  so they go down the boozer.  For me it makes no sense to play behind closed  doors   either leave it as it is  or cancel the games 

    Maybe, but I'd say there would be far more people attending pubs, cafes, etc when the game is attended than when it is behind closed doors? And most games aren't televised free-to-air or subscription.

    If you had a large pub with 200 rammed into it, much more likely of onward transmission to all in the enclosed space.

    Anyway, thought i'd post a summary from a medical expert, which is what my original post was for.

    I was at the Norwich game on Wednesday night. Every pub, restaurant and cafe within a 5-mile radius of the stadium was rammed for several hours before the game. If it had been played behind closed doors, the vast majority would have stayed at home and watched it on TV.

    It makes sense to test as many people as possible

    This is what makes the situation in the States so insane: charging people for tests. The Senate fast-tracked an 8.3 billion dollar emergency funding package (just Rand Paul voted against, for reasons only he could explain) yesterday, but it's far too late and should have been done weeks ago.

    'It's just the flu'

    Anyone who has actually had the flu would not be saying those words.

    100%. Another one is 'it's only 40 cases', demonstrating that many simply don't understand the concept of exponential growth. 

    Containment is key. If we can at least slow the spread we can mitigate the impact on the health services. Matt Hancock is saying the right things and I have confidence in the Department of Health. I think we are in a better position than, say, the United States.

    Officials have confirmed that the 2020 Olympics in Japan will go ahead as planned

    I'd be amazed if it stays that way. Visitors arriving from every nation on Earth, intermingling in large numbers, then returning home after a couple of weeks seems like a really good way to cause an epidemiological explosion.

    Really???

    Only today, four Italian friends called me to report cases of bullying and discrimination towards other Italians due to #coronavirus. A friend has been kicked out from her home in Chelsea and in schools Italian children are victims of verbal abuse.

    You think that's mad. Hold my beer (or maybe don't).

    Doesn't look particularly warm to me; neither does it look like a true outlier...Just a wee bit random, as one might expect for a transitional period?

    Presumably lower still in some areas. That would blow away the cobwebs. And most of the British Isles.

    The mind-blowing title of which is “The Betelgeuse Apocalypse”—a reference to the eleventh-brightest star in the night sky named Betelgeuse located in the Constellation of Orion that scientists the world over are now sounding grave warnings about as it mysteriously dims to insignificance for the first time in recorded history—and is the same Constellation of Orion that, on 30 December 1983, American scientists reported finding a mysterious heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system—a discovery explaining why Betelgeuse is dimming as this mysterious heavenly body blocks out its light—and in the decades since its discovery in 1983, has been accompanied by all of the planets in our solar system mysteriously heating up—most pronounced on the planet Mars where, in 2016, scientists declared its ice age was ending—and this week saw NASA releasing dramatic photographs of a polar ice cap on Mars collapsing—all of which comes at the same time astronomers from around the world are reporting mysterious clockwork radio signals are bombarding our planet from deep in outer space—and are “signals” coming from space that, likewise, were reported by one of human history’s greatest geniuses Nikola Tesla—who on Christmas Day, 25 December 1900, wrote an urgent letter to the American Red Cross stating: “I have observed electrical actions, which have appeared inexplicable. Faint and uncertain though they were, they have given me a deep conviction and foreknowledge that ere long all human beings on this globe, as one, will turn their eyes to the firmament above, with feelings of love and reverence, thrilled by the glad news: " Brethren! We have a message from another world, unknown and remote. It reads: one ... two ... three ...”

    Bring it on whatever is out there our mysterious space.

    If I ever discover a message from an alien civilisation, the first thing I'm going to do is send an urgent letter to the Red Cross.

    Will they promise to see everyone who visits A&E within four months? Will the new waiting-times 'initiative' be written in a shiny, new edition of Boris's NHS Mission Statement?:help:

    Don't worry, it's only the weak, vulnerable, elderly, and newborn that will die. 

    “If they would rather die,” said Scrooge, “they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”
