    Jesus i don't know. The bottom 3 could possibly screw that up by saying they don't agree to it as they stand to lose millions if the league ends as is. Think the season will be written off personally.

    I hope all the churches do away with offering the sign of peace and shaking hands with strangers. Its vile on a normal day but really needs to stop now. I am not a big mass goer but was at a couple of funerals recently and its still happening

    Technically now it's arrived in Brazil, sure it meets WHOs pandemic (all continents) status?
    Maybe they're waiting for the Antartic to phone in.

    Also new countries to join the list today are Greece and Lebenon.

    We should have been preparing since the 3rd week of January. The stats were crazy then. It was only going one way.

    I don't think it would tbh. It would mean the virus is exploding in the UK and more than likely here but sure whatever once you get your kicks.

    But the top 6 in the Championship could put in a counter claim.
    As could anyone within reach of a Champions League place for next year.
    I'd imagine they'll find some way to play the remaining games behind closed doors.
    But no physical contact and the ball gets cleaned every time after touching exposed skin.
    Can't be any worse than VAR.

    And all that finger dipping on the way in, the haunted bread could also be a risk. They could always install alcho gels at the end of each seating area.

    Wouid they potentially finish all games behind closed doors?
    - what - you mean after they've evacuated the crowd part way through the match?

    Fortunately we're in the Europa League which no-one has mentioned so far, and I'll be among a crowd of 70,000 or so tomorrow evening

    No - you cannot be. You can describe yourselves as "Nearly Champions", but it will count for nothing in the overall scheme of things:pac:

    People who brought that up then where called nut jobs. I got called a tin foil hatter in the original thread when i mentioned border controls and the fact i'd done some stock piling of food and bought masks for my family but especially my elderly parents who just can't afford to get sick. They get the flu jab every year and fingers crossed it's worked thus far.

    Well majority of people don't have a clue and get the narrative of life wrong and can't see it when thy are so you did the right thing and made wise calls when ignorance is bliss for the majority.

    Fully agree, have always thought this should have been done away with, at the very least every Autumn to the following Spring...Have no interest in shaking the hand of a stranger who has had his hands over his mouth, up his nose and in his ears for the preceding hour....!!

    Ah no i completely understand it not everyone keeps informed they prefer watching Love Island, and rugby :D

    Anyway i figured be on the safe side if the worst happens which it may not yet but once i seen the directive to build a 1000 bed hospital in Wuhan within a week/10 days i knew it was time to get real.

    I am wondering how many of the doom and gloom merchants in this thread had the flu jab this season (I did BTW, but then I'm starting to get on a bit....)

    Decided not to go to Tenerife tomorrow. There was 1 case yesterday morning in that hotel and now there are 4 confirmed and a 5th rumoured. Still not sure I'm doing the right thing but my gut says not to go.

    It was to be the first trip away together for myself and the other half in 18 months (and the last one was only to the UK), cursing my luck at picking the Costa Adeje!

    I really think that the EU should be looking at travel restrictions to slow down the spread but I can't see that happening.
