I dont think this season will finish , Unless ....

If the coming season does end prematurely, I trust there is an agreed system in place to determine promotion/play-offs/relegation, which all clubs, in whatever league/division are forced to abide by, without threats of court action etc etc

 

I completely do. It isn't downplaying it, is adopting realism. 600,000 people a year die. If we are going to avoid death and disease by hiding away, wearing masks, not hugging, not working, and completely trashing the world economy for many generations to come then life is hardly worth living.

Never in the history of mankind of we hidden away in this way from a virus. Never have we instigated such fear and anxiety into the whole population, and announced death figures on a nightly basis (well, they did until the death figures became so low it was no longer frightening people).

I live in a place where there hasn't been a single case of CV, let alone a death, for over two months, and yet I walk out of my door and people, young and old are walking around in masks like the bubonic plague is in town. And young people are wearing masks like they're a badge of honour and a fashion statement.

And yet only yesterday I spoke to someone who works in one of the biggest local hospitals (not in Bradford) and he told me how many positive CV cases they currently had ... ONE!!!

The impact and disruption has been MASSIVE, but it isn't the impact and disruption caused by CV, it is the impact and disruption caused by the fear-mongering and anxiety-building propaganda.

Ever since man first walked the earth there have been viruses, and every single time we have built up immunity and ultimately flourished. We have not hidden away like petrified beings. Yes, people have died. Alas, that is how viruses work. But then we, as a species, build up resistance. We gain immunity. As a species we will not build immunity by locking ourselves away - indeed that is exactly what not to do.

Yes, isolate the vulnerable and take sensible steps to protect them, but for the sake of the children (if not for ourselves) we need to get back to normality as soon as possible and stop this rampant culture of fear for a virus that already seems to have run out of steam.

And at the same time we all need to do what we can to get healthy and build our immunity, and that includes exercise, supplementation, good diet, and LESS anxiety.

Phew, glad to get that off my chest

 

Theres a lot in there and obviously cant answer it all but where do you live that hasn't had a single case?

Don't get me wrong. It has to be kept in context but that logical context, not just manipulating figures to decrease the death rate or overplay the amount of immunity.

If as a country we decide, with our eyes open, that we would be happier to have nightclubs, travel and sports crowds back but the trade off is, say, 1m deaths a year rather than 600k then that's one thing. But making out like its is being overblown and is of minimal impact to make it look like there is no trade off to increased freedom is quite another. That's what I mean by downplaying it.

Points per game but at least 18 games need to be played.

 

Speculation or fact?

 

Maybe he means on his road as the only way to know a specific area hasn’t had any cases at all would be if you knew everyone in that area

 

I only deal in facts mate.

However, I think even if a national lock down that sport. Well the PL will.

 

Is English your first language, Fordy?

 

well we know that isn’t true.

remember all schools will be back by May

 

I don't know if anybody follows the NFL or watches Hard Knocks... But it gives a really good insight into how they've been dealing with Covid-19 in preseason.

The level they go to is something probably only the Premier League could afford in this country. Daily testing, special technology to monitor how close each player is to another player and for how long, broken down by when they are actively running routes and drills and when they aren't. Massive semi-permanent structures built for team meetings, lunches, gym time etc. Individual booths in the dressing rooms. I believe they've even developed helmets that periodically take temperature checks.

And even then they've had over 60 positive tests.

There's no way clubs at our level can afford measures like this... And with such a small squad this season... And presumably smaller squads overall due to the salary cap, I'd be very surprised if we finish the season, or finish on time.

 

That was the plan but Boris had his flip flops out.

 

it never was the plan. It was just one of the numerous dates you threw about

 

He openly stated in one of his replies he did not believe in facts.

 

that might have been a lie though

 

So was it fact there won't be games shown at 3pm because sky said?

 

Why are they cancelling games due to a couple of positive tests? Are they making the whole squad isolate for 14 days?
