Having a universal health care system really helps in these situations. In America with all the companies, the insurance system etc ( and lack off) they might have a massive issue.

I went to the (as always totally inadequate) toilet facilities twice, once early in the flight and again towards the end and in both toilets there was no soap available.

4marsbars Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Interested to know what people think about postponement v closed-doors matches. It seems likely that large events will soon have to be rearranged. If and when this happens I will fully support this, by the way. I'm more than happy that governments should use expert opinion (sorry, Michael Gove, people should and do trust experts). Anyway.... If we reach that stage what do we, the fans, think should happen? Options include: - postponing games till the virus threat subsides (which would presumably be months) - playing games behind closed doors - some other more drastic action, like - declaring the league season over with teams in their present position I can see that a long period of postponement messes up the close-season and spills over into next season, and might even lead to football resuming in July or August, still playing this season's fixtures. If that happened, the authorities could shorten next season's league calendar, by, for example, missing out one round of fixtures. For what it is worth, football is primarily entertainment, which is put on for the benefit of the paying customer. This paying customer would much rather have a delay, however long, than have games played behind closed doors. There might also be a case for delaying the three remaining cup games (two semis and a final) for however long it takes. The idea of a cup final being played in front of no fans is simply crazy.

Now that 90% have had their results, the hope is that once the final 10% are tested, we'll see a massive drop in new cases being reported. The cause of about 5000 cases in Daegu was precisely because people gathered in large groups and didn't quarantine.

Francis Albert Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) 14 hours ago, John Gentleman said: The side effects are effects are pretty much zero FA. An achy upper-arm for a day or two at worst. Since they moved to the (very) short needles a few years back I don't even experience an ache. It's an inactivated vaccine, so you're not going to catch anything. I've been getting one annually for the last eighteen years and haven't caught the flu once. True, it's not 100% effective because the 'B' strains change constantly. But even if you do catch it there's a good chance the symptoms and duration will be much less severe than if you were unvaccinated. Every flu strain has an ancestor (just like us). So in the event of a strain mutating, a vaccinated person will still have some protection -- because they've been vaccinated against one of its ancestors. I should also mention that the most recent vaccines offer greater protection. This year's (S. Hemisphere) one is 'quadrivalent' ie, protects against four strains. For folk >65, theres an 'adjunctive' version which gives the immune system an additional boost. Thanks for that. My view of the side effects is based on others experience of vaccinations some time ago. I think more could be done on pushing vaccination which to someone not focussed on the issue seems to still focus on the "vulnerable". I have never been vaccinated and in 67 years have never had flu. Now of course that isn't any reason for people to not be vaccinated but it inevitably influences me. There are of course two issues, my personal risk and the risk my failure to vaccinate puts to other people. The first is up to me. I will pop my clogs in the not too distant future and flu seems to me one of the better options and if it saves me from drooling and incontinent or with dementia in a nursing home for decades then it will be what it used to be described as - the elderlys friend. As for the risk to others my immunity from flu in 67 years suggest I am not a major risk … but again if that is the issue the focus should be on the general public and not the vulnerable. I could say more about my dislike of mass medication for the purpose of prolonging life (whatever its quality) but that would take us even more off topic.

Concerts/events are being cancelled, the Louvre is restricting access. In Southern Italy they're promoting social distancing of a metre. Not sure they're giving much thought to what those who are told not to go to a football match, will do with their now found spare time to be honest If games are played behind closed doors here, could top division games be made available on a PPV basis?

I'm starting to think the semi against The Flumps might not go ahead. I’ll be very surprised if the cup semis and final are not held over until late July and August. No way they will play them behind closed doors because of the revenue loss. FIFA have just cancelled Asian qualifiers scheduled for later this month and April so I’d be surprised if UEFA don’t do the same now re Euro 2020 play-offs scheduled for later this month. Israel’s coach is already in quarantine which is enough justification for them to cancel I suspect. This would throw Euro2020 finals into real doubt and likely see them postponed until following summer. No idea what will happen re our league in terms of closed doors or not but that seems unlikely to me. Just needs one or two teams to have a positive test then everyone goes into quarantine for 14 days so games all off. Training facilities become an issue as well esp in our case if schools and uni’s were closed. Interesting if, as some other posts mentioned, the SPFL did have plans to propose an increase in top league to 14 teams in 20121 then this summer would now be a good time to do it though how to work out who gets promoted from lower leagues would be challenging in a couple of cases eg Championship - who goes up with United? Probably the least contentious solution though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_T Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 The whole premise of the Delay phase is to try and ensure that the healthcare system is not overloaded. If they were to just let it spread for example, even at a hospitlisation rate of 10% of cases diagnosed, there would pretty quickly be more patients than there are beds.
