I fear the worst...Just like 1987 when the Liverpool fans f.cked us over and we weren't allowed into Europe. It doesn't look good...the snowflakes are panicking.
Well, it has nothing to do with Bulldog Spirit to acknowledge that some of the world's leading virologists are based here.
Anyway, the key difference it seems is that our scientists are also referencing the behavioural science, saying that as we are up to 14 weeks away from the peak - imposing draconian measures now would be a mistake - because if you shut everything down now (which is a big step to take) people go with it for a few weeks, but may not have the stamina to continue with that for months potentially, and by the time the peak comes around (when the shutdowns might be needed) people will have had enough and might potentially ignore advice at that point. That is my understanding, but again, I defer to them on that because I cannot prove or disprove any of it. I'm not saying I am right, but I'm just trying to understand their position.
Our models aren't different, the admitted the modelled for an 80 percent infection rate. There will be many many models gamedDoesn't explain why our models are different to everyone else in the worlds. And spare me the Bulldog Spirit “they’re the best innit”.
Hmmm behavioural “science” isn’t exactly the hardest science. Seems like Cummings misplaced faith in data and woo again. I’d rather with something serious we went with hard science personally.
If it does happen it throws off the government's modelling as it takes people from low risk events and potentially moves them to higher risk activitiesDan Roan from the BBC reporting that EFL will follow the Prem’s lead so expect the Shrewsbury game to be postponed later today.
It's a shame the epl and efl don't appear to be paying much attention to what he's saying. Too many people seem to think that it can somehow be avoided.Well it's clearly a mixture of both. The Chief Medical Officer has probably forgotten more over breakfast this morning than the sum total of our combined knowledge on the matter.

No the timing advise is from the medical advisers as well. Studies into previous pandemics note that forced measures implemented too early lead to fatigue in the measures and the possibility of more deaths.I mean clearly we are planning to take the same measures (that’s the medical advice) but have decided to time them as late as possible (the dude in hoodie advice). That’s my worry. Get the man bun twats out the way for this and let the CMO lead.

Luckily the current CSO is also a medical doctorTaking this back to football for a minute. My take from yesterday was that the peak is many weeks away. Therefore, if we cancel fixtures tomorrow - it's not as though we can suddenly starting playing again in two weeks. Same with closing schools etc. If we go this way now, we'd have to maintain this for 2-3 months - otherwise there's no point. Therefore, a cancellation of fixtures now effectively signals the end of the football season.
The CMO and CSO I believe are taking the lead. It was striking how Boris continually deferred to them yesterday and at no point attempted to bluff his was through it. The CMO does not strike me as somebody who would be swayed by political influence, I think he'd rather resign than do that. I believe the UK position is being steered entirely by the scientists.
We all know the EFL are just going to copy the Premier League.
I'm guessing all games postponed until April 4th, after the international break. Would mean 4 City games needing moving (Shrewsbury, Lincoln, Wycombe, Accy).
The 4th of April is the rumoured pl date but yes you are right you couldn't restart the season then.Impossible mate, its not peaking until 10-14 weeks so it will be worse then

Exactly the point people are missing. If the EFL go against government advice now, I cannot see how the season can be completed. It then becomes a straight choice between write-off the whole season or finish it now based on leagues postion/ppg. Either way, let the legal action begin.
Because some will argue it is mathematically possible for them to go upI can't see how legal action would be taken if they based it on Form
I hope I'm wrong but I think this season is going to be written off, as more players and staff will confirm they have the virus.
Can't see it, Nick. Players are contracting it now. Some clubs are in lockdown.There is far too much on the line for it to be written off at this late stage.
If we had played 5 games then maybe we could.

Yep gove must have been annoyed deferring to experts. Bojo was no clown yesterdayTaking this back to football for a minute. My take from yesterday was that the peak is many weeks away.

Could be two months until the virus hits its peak though.Surely the season will just resume when ready. You can’t start another season without ending the last one.
The major issues will be contracts and wages.
It won't scupperour season but looks likely the next month could be played behind closed doors. Hopefully we will be back in the stadium to celebrate our promotion.
I think there is a possibly the game will go ahead tomorrow possibly even behimnd closed door - I fear this will be the last game for some time and basicaly the end of the seasonYup. Do feel the end of the season is looking imminent.
That’s what I was saying and why I think the experts are correct. So sad that the reality will be premature deaths and hope the numbers are in line with normal flu each year. Although still sad for each family of course
They don’t on line someone should askI'd like to think the EFL have something in the small print that covers this kind of scenario, but if they have I think we'd know about it by now. Could get very messy this.
