Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

So Leicester have three players showing signs - so they send them home. Wouldn't a more reasonable response be to send all players and staff home to isolate for 15 days?
 
I cant see any running competition completing. Which offers a whole host of questions/problems. Who qualifies for CL next season. What about relegation? What about league payouts? Its going to be an absolute shit show as we all know how incompetent those running the game are. Expect the cartel to clean up in whatever decisions are made.
 
At the beginning I was, oi just because I am elderly (& have 'underlying problems') I am not going to be put under 'house arrest', I will carry on as normal. However, as it progresses and I see the effect I am 50-50 about, for example attending the Burnley match on Saturday! One minute my brain says, I am NOT going into panic mode and then something else is said/reported and I am mmmmmm but I want to see my Great-Grandkids grow up and people are only concerned about me!! Is football worth this?
Then it's back to I'm a Blues supporter we never give in!! Ah well, I should stop reading reports etc and just rely on my own instincts.
It would therefore be good if someone else, government (ugrrgghh) or football authorities (double uggrrgghh) made the decision for me!! :-)

It is frustrating and nobody wants to be confined to the house etcetera but we are in unchartered territory with this virus. It isn't worth risking your life for. I took early retirement three years ago and I am reducing my risks. I went to Wembley and flew but it wasn't as high profile then. Batten down the hatches and ride it out.
 
Accept that, but how many people have died in this country or others from 'standard flu' so far this winter? And we have done nothing about that apart from issue free flu vaccines. Why isn't that being reported? Every year 70k-100k die from flu and we do bugger all in comparison . I accept my view is over simplistic but I refuse to be scared or panicked by most of the shit that's being peddled
Approximately 10,000 people in the uk die from flu annually, not 70k-100k

The decision will be made for you pal. Games won’t be happening this weekend . Think Boris must have had a good tip for Cheltenham so just waiting to drop that before his announcement.

Just heard Rodgers on tv saying they were very mild symptoms and they haven't even been tested, just self isolating.
 
I'm sorry if it's already been mentioned but what does this article say about season ticket holders (I can't read the next part without subscribing)?

It says they'll be able to stream it but is that all? Surely nobody is suggesting that being able to stream the games live is any compensation for not being able to attend game!!?? If that is the case, there as to be some consumer rights that says we aren't receiving what we have paid for.
Good point. I live nearby and am happy to attend and accept the risk. Life doesn’t have to stop. What about people with non refundable hotel and travel tickets or booked holidays. Are they going to be refunded and by whom ?
