Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

Population immunity of around 70% required.
Covid is same type of virus as influenza, what I mean is that it’s constantly mutating. So you can get flu again, despite already having it. That’s because it’s different seasonal flu and covid will eventually be the same in time, and when a vaccine ultimately comes it will be for those at risk just like the current flu jab.
The reason seasonal flu doesn’t shut down the country every year is because of background immunity and targeted immunisations. Lockdown is not because the corona is more dangerous than flu, but because it’s new, contagious and therefore many people will get it all at once and swamp the healthcare services.
You are right not all the answers are confirmed but we’ve had plenty of similar viruses around to base the medical assumptions. I’ll stick to listening to those in charge with a single brain cell
it is not like flu,it is far more contagious and is throwing lots of different and unexpected things that the other corona virus have not,so you are still not getting it after how many months

M8 I dont have flu jab and I get flu and to date I havent died from it. These things are on a different scale.
 
What’s the latest on whether they expect to play the remaining fa cup and CL games?

Heard that they were thinking of playing all the fa cup quarters at Wembley one day.
Fa cup semis another day.
Then the final another day.
Be bloody crap seeing us beat utd in the final at no tucker there, better than nothing I suppose
 
I believe the manager's have told the premier that June 12th start date is not feasible
The rules are the season has to end by June 30th.

Surely they will not be on the wrong side of the rules...
 
I suspect the plan is to resume asap, play a couple of rounds of fixtures or as many as required for the dips to get 6 points, and then decide to can it on safety grounds once a few positive covid tests come in.

@SkyKaveh

How the fuck can they do this for a contact sport and the training they have to do face to face not over zoom or whatever

Kill me now
 
And theyre going to make million pound decisions with that shit? I wouldnt want to be the club that gets relegated in this circus.

I quite like the theory that you can't tackle in training but you will be able to in a match.

It can't be safe to do so in one if you can't in the other !!!!!

Players must social distance at all times in training, well in a match are they going to ban walls at free kicks? If not why?

It's becoming a joke.

This should be shot down in flames straight away, The Leeds manager was dragged over the coals last year for spying on a training session but now they want us to record them and supply them to the FA. Seriously why would they need access to these?
 
The #PremierLeague restart is expected to be pushed back by at least seven days from June 12 to June 19, after players and managers expressed concerns that major questions needed to be answered over the risks of a return to full-contact training and games. [
@TeleFootball

#PremierLeague clubs are now planning for the worst case scenario of not being allowed to have fans in their own stadiums until the 2021/22 season. There is hope within football that a vaccine may become available in February. [
@MirrorFootball


If there was a vaccine in Feb it will go to frontline and the vulnerable first,the rest of us months after at best

The whole thing is a parody now. I mean even if you take COVID out of the equation, these regulations are a recipe for players getting injured. Why any of them (besides those at Liverpool or United) would even consider agreeing to this is beyond me.
 
Becoming ??

Its been a joke for weeks.
Naaaahhh ... I think they're close to getting it all figured out. Just need a few tweaks here and there
