Currently less than 0.00006% of the UK population have contracted the virus. Forgive me for not being overly worried just yet.
As this was part of a controlled experiment to eradicate the common cold, but managed to mutate...and GET OUT!I’d say we will be a few billion down by 2025, and the apocalypse will have begun...Or not! So play all the games whilst we can....

So play all the games whilst we can.... behind closed doors ?“The Football Association is holding internal discussions at Wembley to discuss the implications of coronavirus.Events across the sporting landscape have been effected by the outbreak, with Italian authorities putting restrictions in place in an attempt to stop the spread of the disease. Euro 2020 is almost certainly going to be another topic of discussion, but the main focus is on March as the tournament is then the jurisdiction of Uefa and the relevant authorities.”Press association!
and take a moral stance to avoid a catastrophic out break of the CORONAVIRUS .Reducing the overall congregation of people now may help save many lives . The F.A. etc have to take the world wide outbreak of this unpredictable virus that could stretch into next winter more seriously if the infection rate can’t be contained . Football supporters are particularly at risk as many are elderly and this particular group is most susceptible. Italy Ireland etc have made a stance but closing the season now will not be liked by all but it could guarantee that the sport survives for next season .

If people are worried, they shouldn't go to football matches.

If you catch it will you just want to be the 0.00007% or an elderly relative who caught it from you ? . Ostrich heads like most fans can’t except that IT IS COMING and the closure of Cinemas , Racing Tracks and Football Stadiums will be closed until ‘further notice’. All I’m saying is act sooner and reduce that possibility of it being indefinitely!

You know this, yet i suspect that you travel by car regularly. Its a much more curently dangerous situation than Covid 19 in the UK. Have you considered ever refusing to travel by car to save your life????. of course you havnt.., why??? because the risks are very low!! THE END.

Have you considered ever refusing to travel by car to save your life????. of course you havnt.., why??? because the risks are very low!! THE END.But it's not about what the immediate threat is. The number of people who will die from this is about two things from here.1) How many people are going to get infected. Answer. Almost certainly a lot. A Professor of epidemiology from Imperial College suggested a couple of weeks ago that, if it takes hold, he'd expect 35-45million in the UK to get it.2) How rapidly it spreads. That's the key. If it spreads very quickly, it will overwhelm the NHS and a lot more people will die from it as a result. If the spread is slower, there'll be fewer people infected at any one time and there's more chance of the NHS coping.The rate at which it spreads CAN be controlled by reducing social contact. So I don't think 1969's suggestion should be dismissed out of hand.Put it another way, if this gets very bad, there could be 1million of us dead by Xmas. I think folk might look back in those circumstances and be a bit pissed off at blasé attitudes in March.
Should this be in off topic Mr mainwaring

Only just over 3,000 people have died from this in China (a country of over 1.4 billion people) in the last 3 months. If we had a similar percentage of deaths to population that is around 130. Maybe I might regret my attitude towards this but at the current time I am just getting on with things!

Closing stadiums and postponing large events will only act to slow the inevitable IMO. Besides, with symptoms taking a couple of weeks to show, by the time Jeff and the boys sit down next Saturday at 3pm, it will probably be too late in certain grounds in the UK...
