Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

It’s getting to games or any mass events, on public transport that’s packed, that is the real problem.
You have a packed tram to the Etihad full of hard surfaces that people hang on to, that this virus can survive on for up to two days. So it’s not just the close proximity of people.

Whatever measures are taken by any government one thing that is coming out loud and clear over here is that for anything to work it’ll take a great deal of social compliance to the recommendations.

If there isn’t then the recommendations will become directives as the situation deteriorates.

I’m getting the impression over here that they are prepping us for the fact that this is going to extend past March 29th, and they are expecting this to get worse.

The idea of these measures now is the hope that the inevitable increase in cases will not be a steep a peak and emergency health services will cope better.

It’s a tough one to get the sweet spot of the right measures at the right time but it’s a collective action problem.
You need a collective action strategy that all will buy into.
To do that you need to convince people that the actions no matter how harsh are for their good. It is the correct action.
You also need to convince people we are all in this together. Community. Let’s pull together and we’ll get through this.
You also then need a level of social disapproval. Wash your hands you dirty bastard. Your actions or inaction have consequences for other people.

The major sporting bodies and each country‘s government need to ask have the public bought into whatever strategy they are pushing.

Fat chance of a lot of idiots doing the right thing and complying. You only have to look at the selfish bastards clearing all the shelves in supermarkets " June quick grab that other pack of toilet rolls before that old dear gets it before you, hurry up!" Only today in Wythenshawe hospital some scumbag was running into wards and stealing the hand sanitiser.
