Coronavirus potential to ‘shut down’ football

That's a huge generalisation, though definitely a consideration.

 

I'm not saying parents or a parent don't look after kids but many work and the grand parents/parent play an active part

Keepinf schools open is the right thing to do.

 

It's going to be easy to tell if it's the right move or not soon enough - there are plenty of directly comparable examples where other nations are doing the exact opposite of what we do, in equally good faith, and based on the say so of medical advice. We won't have to debate the ifs, buts or maybes for much longer, let's put it that way.

 

What Johnson was saying in a nutshell is we're roughly 4 weeks behind Italy and a lock down will happen then. Do it now and when this peaks we are in trouble because people won't take it seriously.

 

PL will be suspend today I think.

 

Again, we will see, what with Ireland taking the actions Boris didn't.

Ireland haven't been alone in taking action that is supposedly ahead of schedule, so we'll find out if the UK is acting too late, timing it just right, or if nothing is going to help anyway.

 

Everyone acted too late.

I said weeks ago that you needed to ban worldwide travel. No one in, no one out for 30 days.

Jamaica at 0 cases didn't ban travel and now have 1 which as increased to 2.

The bigger issue reading between the lines is both Johnson and Trump are not saying anything positive meaning no sign of a cure or vaccine.

 

The problem I have with complete shut downs is this; firstly how long do they stay shut? what happens when you take the restrictions off? Not even China has fully let the brakes go. Our peak is 12/14 weeks away best estimate, plus high infection rate either side. The science everyone is using is the same, but the timing is different. We will shut schools, public gatherings and maybe complete shut down, but we are trying to get maximum protection for the elderly and vulnerable and to try and minimise the NHS is not overwhelmed.

 

Looks like the EFL is suspended till April 4th,at earliest.

 

Good.

 

Yes, more detail to follow.

 

Speculation at the moment with aboard meeting happening now
