Six other European countries have reported cases, and an American soldier in South Korea became the first member of the U.S. armed forces to be infected.

RIGHT NOWThe number of new coronavirus infections outside China tops those inside the country for the first time.

The critical word there is "new".

Hard to know if to believe that or not but if true if just shows the length we are going to have to go to to stop this virus.

Personally i think it's highly unlikely those figures are accurate.

Never gonna happen. Look at the furor over postponing the Italy game. We can't/wont go to those level of extremes as there is no stick (i.e. authoritarian communist regime) to beat us with.

The guy is a journalist so i'm guessing he's fairly confident. Let's wait and see.

To be fair, the media are causing most of the hysteria so saying he's a journalist makes me less likely to believe it :pac:

Yes, you can publish whatever stats you want and nobody will question you or they'll be off to Xinjiang for re-education with the Uighurs.

Yes you're correct.

Sad to see this panic now taking hold within the general public. It's like people where in complete denial at first and now they've realized this isn't some tinfoil hat scenario and is on their doorstep.

Gentlemen,

In other countries affected has public transport been curtailed?

Wondering what we can expect here, I'm dependent on public transport for work

Is it fair to say that the Champions League has no hope of continuing this season?

We don't have any resources in our hospital's to deal with any sort of outbreak. Its the right decision, probably too late however

Not a hope it will go ahead. Talk of the games tonight being called off but it might be too late for that. As a Liverpool fan i'm literally ****ting it that the premier league will be cancelled also. Be just our luck

WHO are in China confirming stats also.

Im talking about declare martial law.

Don't panic folks. The CCP has beaten the virus and have proved their strength to the Chinese people and the world.

I predict 0 cases by this time next week on current trends.

All is well.

Crisis averted.

Wouid they potentially finish all games behind closed doors?

That aside, will all players and staff want to remain working in close environment with each other if everywhere else is on lockdown?

Even if you stripped it down to the bare minimum most professional teams would prob have a full bus (50-70?) full of people. Are they going to want to fly or take trains across a virus Europe? Will clubs want to put their prizes players at risk? You can only manage your own club, other clubs may not be as cautious/prepared.

BTW, I’m not saying this will happen, just asking questions that many players and clubs will be asking themselves.

Think the PL can be played behind closed doors I hope since no air travel.


No chance of a parade either.

Exponential growth in Europe is inevitable , I cant see Sport in Europe going ahead much for the next 4 months. The next month will tell alot. Maybe early containment could make it possible. We dont really know how slow Wuhan where to react

I’m in South Korea. The panic here is insane, but the buses and trains keep running.

I suppose Liverpool fans will have to console themselves by continuing to post stupidly long league table posts counting out each point in the soccer forum so . . :pac:
