owner of Florest has got it … you can get it/have it in weeks before it shows! …and is passed on into others Nottingham Forest and Olympiakos owner Evangelos Marinakis has tested positive for coronavirus. Marinakis, 52, was at the City Ground for Forest's Championship fixture against Millwall on Friday. Olympiakos are due to host Wolves in the Europa League on Thursday, although the BBC understands Wolves have asked for the game to be postponed. "Mr Marinakis was diagnosed after showing the first symptoms on his return to Greece," said Forest. "During his stay in Nottingham he did not show any symptoms of the virus. "The club are seeking advice from medical professionals and the relevant governing bodies to ensure the correct measures are taken." Marinakis had earlier revealed he had been diagnosed with coronavirus on social media platform Instagram. "The recent virus has 'visited' me and I felt obliged to let the public know," he said. "I feel good as I take all the necessary measures and I discipline to the doctor's instructions." Millwall, who won Friday's game in Nottingham 3-0, have said that "senior club representatives who came into contact with Mr Marinakis have begun a period of self isolation".
It spreads like flu. Most of us will get it sooner or later. The Chinese have controlled it by controlling their people. They told everyone not to go to work and to self-isolate and they did - because you don’t mess with their government. We, on the other hand, kick hard against any population-controlling measures. There would be protests and riots if we were all confined to our houses. It’s pointless trying to impose that here - we simply don’t have the police with the powers to enforce it. Times like these are one of the few examples when having a totalitarian regime is an advantage.
Forest, who are fifth in the Championship table have been in contact with the English Football League and discussions are ongoing, . they are scheduled to play Sheffield Wednesday in their next league game on Saturday, before Sheffield then go on to play Bristol city. Then if Bristol City have not contracted then they go to Florest for a second bite! Whilst Sheffield give WBA the chance to be victims …. then there is a break to see what may transpire ……….
