No panic, just sensible precautions. as I said my original post was, in a way agreeing with your point of view.
1. Mortality estimates can be over exaggerated.
2. Sensible precautions will almost certainly reduce the number of infections.
Please read my post again if you think think I meant something different.

I apologise then, I am aiming my anger at folk who keep trying to whip up panic

Chairman of Rotherham United's League One rivals Accrington Stanley calls for EFL to pause season amid coronavirus concerns
This would not be good for us!
Fuck me they barely get 1000 fans.

I don’t disagree with him but why has he allowed things to escalate with flu previously

I think we’d be better off trying to get the season finished quicker. No way you can delay the season to the summer in isolation from all other competitions and you’d be much better voting to draw the season to a close based on points per game rather than anything else for as fair as possible
For a religious man you're showing a juvenile attitude to this matter.
At the Very minimum this is ten times more lethal than regular influenza.
Show some societal responsibility to others.

I can understand struggling clubs with injuries wanting to delay the season and using this to their advantage.
Clubs with momentum would not want anything to derail this.

Huh really?? I am trying to
How does the Wuhan coronavirus compare to seasonal flu?
More people are at risk from an economic downturn I am reliably informed and there are two different conversations happening on this thread. One is a balance between overreacting and panic and taking all necessary precautions to keep healthy the other and of more interest to most ccfc fans
is given the stage of the season how will this affect our promotion possibilities.
Of course we all know that our selfish football needs are not as important as our family and friends becoming really poorly and potentially passing away

So at least a week more games then before behind closed doors
Can’t believe there’s nothing about deep clean or what happens if squads have to self isolate but that’s maybe a competition question rather than governmental

They have a few more cases than us at present, I guess the question is, is what we are seeing in Italy and to a lesser degree France, what will be happening here in a week’s time? Strong suspicion this will be the last game we get to watch this season — if we get to watch it.

They were saying today on the radio that part of the governments thinking is that if they put games behind closed doors people will gather in the pub instead. Does that mean they’d definitely stream them? What are France and Italy doing with that? Does anyone know?
Don’t see the need to call off games. Once it’s not a large gathering of people near to each other, what’s the issue?

None left, it’s all been panic bought!
In the quarantined area of Italy youre not allowed to sit within a metre of anyone else in cafe's restaurants etc. Wont stop people here going down the pub if the city game is on though, impossible to implement stuff like that if people aren't buying into the seriousness of it.

my Missus always buys 36 at a time, and restocks when on the last 18. No idea what she thinks is going to happen. Not panic buying just odd behaviour

Dodgy pubs will stream them anyway I guess.
Thing is, it is still a lot of people gathering in pubs which is indoors as well as opposed to an open stadium.

Exactly there are a few things clubs could do to help as I said higher up. Open gates and don’t use turnstiles.
Encourage people who are unwell with specific symptoms not to attend
You could even have sanitisers outside the entrances for people to use

Do you reckon they read on here or I’m just so in tune with the club!! That is so bang on
Apologies if this has already been shared but I read earlier that one of the options the government/Prem is considering, if they close stadia (and ban pubs etc) is to allow 3pm Saturday streaming. Presume EFL would follow suit.
It’s interesting to see countries different approaches. By all accounts our top medical professionals (involved in the planning/strategy) are as good as there is, so hopefully whatever they think is best is correct...even if some decisions may appear counter-intuitive.
For example, people keep talking about why we are allowing people off flights from risk areas without checking but I’ve seen medical expert comments saying any ‘on spot’ checks are pretty useless and just cause major back logs, people congregating etc etc. Also, as mentioned by others, other countries have already postponed sporting events or stopped fans from attending but our current view appears to be open air events with suitable guidance/common sense from the public are ok for the time being. I’m guessing the medical professionals/the governments current view is you don’t take these additional actions until the last possible minute, as they are likely to have to remain enforced for quite a period of time.
These messages probably need to be clearer, otherwise all we’ll hear is ‘France, USA and Italy are doing this, why aren’t we...’...when in actual fact a majority of these additional steps are unlikely to do much good (unless you go total lock down like Wuhan and possibly now in Northern Italy)
