Iainwhitton Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Whats the thoughts on the potential for players to be forced into self isolation, and thus unavailable for selection. Ive more concern about games being postponed for lack of player availability than govt shutdowns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, it would be the right decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubbs Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 The Italian government have decided all sporting events are to be postponed or played behind closed doors. The English FA are also considering closed doors games to see out the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously what's the point, first sports person to catch this especially in football and it will all close down, imagine a dressing room where this has taken hold. Think as others have said this is the real worry in terms of closing down the game in this country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IE would Killie TV be given the chance to show our home games to UK residents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Sports governing bodies and broadcasters have been called to a government meeting on Monday to discuss the staging of events behind closed doors if the coronavirus outbreak worsens and mass gatherings are banned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO this is over the top, at the moment. Just now we actually have less people with the coronavirus than normal seasonal flu, which is also down considerably in numbers on previous years. Of course there is the potential, but so did SARS and bird flu, and even CJD. I think this could be the warning on a pandemic, but this ain't the actual one. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guff92 Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 What I don’t get is... 1) started in China and its nearly disappeared. Obviously the quarantine seems to have worked but still odd. 2) it’s went mental in Iran (where there was qualms with the US) but hasn’t really hit their neighbours, Kuwait, Bahrain, Afghanistan etc. 3) whys it no made it to Africa and gone absolutely mental? Same with India. 4) whys it only old folk? Why no youngsters getting badly infected/dying? 5) I read a thing that our current economic model (stocks/shares/GDP etc) has a finite life? It can’t just keep growing forever. So this might be to slow the economy down? (Mass panic buying, folk no working n that) -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK we are preparing for a worst possible case, might not happen, with an 80% infection rate. In population terms this is 52 million. China as I understand it is at least 6 weeks ahead of the UK. They have a population of 1.4 billion. Why are there cases only around 80K. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemingly, it can’t survive in hot climates. The number of cases in the Southern Hemisphere generally is very low, I think I’m right in saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
