The death rate is very high in Italy compared to other countries probably because they have an older population than most.

 

When it's quoted "underlying health problems" they don't mean being unfit or over weight although neither are good for older people, there talking about older people with heart conditions, blood pressure,diabetes, etc, not because they feed there faces on KFC or McDonald's

 

He doesn't care he's done the card at Cheltenham, he's on the Champers .

 

PHEW!!

 

As is my eldest who is just on the right side of not having to go on dialysis, we are awaiting tests done on my youngest daughter to see if she can donate hers.

 

Just heard a rumour that schools could be closing week before Easter holidays and staying closed another week after the Easter holiday.

 

It’s not confirmed but it’s a proposal from above Bradford Easter Holiday April 6th - 20th

its from No 10

 

Very true but you have to carry on as normal for as long as you can, after the "Cobra" meeting today there will be more news and I would expect restrictions be that a closure of schools or no mass gatherings hence football behind closed doors.
We need to be sensible about the situation going forward and not to panic.

 

But stopping social activities is panicking.

Stopping school is worrying.

I would be much happier if they banned non U.K. Travel in and no one coming in for 30 days like what Tramp has done with Europe.

Then we look to contain it our way.

 

I'd also suggest stocking up food and toilet paper is panicking but unfortunatly we've seen that's what some people are doing, you can only give people advice whether they take that advice is a different thing.

 

I think the government will be listening to the best scientific evidence available. I am expecting more restrictions on all manner of things. Schools have to close because children do get the virus but they are mild, or none existence but they can still spread the virus.

As individuals we now have a very clear civic responsibility to make sure that you not only do you protect your self ie wash hands, wiping down surfaces with hot soapy bleached water. We also have a civic duty to protect others. When you go out take care, if you do touch surfaces out side, gel or wash hands, try not to touch your face. Make sure you cough or sneeze into a tissue and gel or wash hands, or if you can’t use the inside or your elbow.

It looks like we won’t be live at VP anytime soon. I heard football matches are going to be the first casualty.

 

There are 65+ million of us, Boris can't be there for all of us,we can only help ourselves..

 

They can't do anything that we cannot do ourselves....

 

I agree with both of you on this. The government have to allow for ppl to become accustomed to our new environment, but they also need to lead and yes it will not be popular but you have to protect the public. For instance I would like to see Twitter and social media bombarded with the message on hand washing and not touching their face, very hard not to do. However a number of ppl I have seen are dismissive of the need to hand wash! So explain the science behind it, show how much bacteria and viruses accumulate on hands and how by touching surfaces you leave the virus on that surface.

 

There needs to be a suspension of the fixtures. Forcing clubs to play behind closed doors will only have a negative financial impact on clubs at our level. I saw Darragh McAnthony this morning say playing behind closed doors for the rest of the season could cost Posh 500k. I'd assume most clubs in L1/2, including ourselves can't afford that.

 

That isn't reporting anything.

Just Parker being lazy again.

probably won’t cost us that but £100k is only 5,000 pay £20 a time, and that doesn’t include the sale of pies etc.
