They've also banned loose coffee. That will probably filter down too.

Wonder if this will filter down to the football league
Tony Blair really killed that many?Around 1 million die every year from TB. But that doesn’t get on the front pages of the tabloids. The press are causing mayhem. World economy will suffer but hey the editors will have great headlines. So that’s OK

Hey Saint BurgeIt's just been announced that all fans and players will be given a pair of Lee Burges Gloves as he never caught anything when wearing them.

The 61,099 flu-related deaths in the U.S. during the severe flu season of 2017-2018 amounted to 0.14% of the estimated 44.8 million cases of influenza-like illness. There were also an estimated flu-related 808,129 hospitalizations, for a rate of 1.8%. Assume a Covid-19 outbreak of similar size in the U.S., multiply the death and hospitalization estimates by five or 10, and you get some really scary numbers: 300,000 to 600,000 deaths, and 4 million to 8 million hospitalizations in a country that has 924,107 staffed hospital beds. Multiply by 40 and, well, forget about it. Also, death rates would go higher if the hospital system is overwhelmed, as happened in the Chinese province of Hubei where Covid-19’s spread began and seems to be happening in Iran now. That’s one reason that slowing the spread is important even if it turns out the disease can’t be stopped.
Because we have a vaccine for it and it’s not an issue in developed nations?
This article has some good numbers on why it’s an issue: How Bad Is the Coronavirus? Let’s Run the Numbers
In short it’s more contagious and more deadly than flu. A seasonal flu style outbreak in the States would kill way more:
World governmental and health organisations aren’t in collusion with newspaper editors to sell papers, this is a legitimate issue. Though largely the question is how much collateral damage do we take (remember a full to bursting NHS isn’t going to keep running smoothly for all the other diseases) or how much economic damage to slow the spread?
(the “multiply by 5 or 10 [or] 40” bit is the different between the low estimates and the high)

Also the bloke has his basic facts wrong, the mortality rate in iran is dropping. It's at around 3% from around 10%
The constant stories about death rates are just starting people who don't need to be scared. Listen to PHE and wash your hands and you'll probably never even know anyone who caught it

That's a cheep shot.The same World Health Organisation that got us all in a flap about bird flu.

I walked up town in Leamington at Lunch and I saw a couple and they both had armfuls of packets of toilet rolls. Madness.

NahIt's the flu without a vaccine, hopefully the games don't get postponed or what ever but there is a massive overhype about it.
Should be ok, I’ve been stockpiling for a few weeks.Wait, how will I wipe my arse?
Does anybody know if jizz socks are at risk too?
