Off Topic Coronavirus

All the best Finglas

 

Does the new lockdown mean that the FA-Cup is cancelled/postponed?

 

I know professional sport is unaffected up here, so imagine it's the same in England.

However, as there's an outbreak involving Fulham players our game may not go ahead as scheduled

 

Many teams below the Championship are in round three, surely they are locked-down?

 

Covid in England: Professional sport to continue as government announces national lockdown

"Following Monday's announcement by the prime minister, this week's sporting fixtures in England are set to go ahead as planned.

In football, the Carabao Cup semi-finals are being played on Tuesday and Wednesday, while the FA Cup third round - which has 32 fixtures spanning four days - starts on Friday."

"Earlier on Monday, Rochdale chief executive David Bottomley said he believes it is "inevitable" that the EFL will have to temporarily suspend fixtures because of rising coronavirus cases."

 

Good luck Finglas. Hope it is not what you fear and that you feel better soon.
Let us know please. ❤️

 

A couple of million kids mixed together at school today then for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

 

Not really. As Boris would say "we erm erm erm erm had to evaluate the erm erm erm scientific advice before erm erm erm doing the right thing at the right time".

 

No no no, schools were safe on Sunday morning, Johnson said so! This goes beyond incompetence. He really has to go, for the sake of peoples lives. I wish the Tories would replace him asap. It's quite extraordinary that his own party put up with this shambles of a man. Should really keep a list of all the lies he says.

 

I dont think anyone, even Ellers, could defend the fat lie that he told on Andrew Marr.

 

Not in Scotland - our schools were shut til 18th Jan at earliest, obviously that is now extended.

 

Sensible proactive approach over incompetent reactive approach

 

There seems to be a pattern emerging

 

Is the uk going to have a proper lockdown this time
Have all airports been closed
Will returning citizens be quarantined
Just essential workers working
all non essential businesses closed
Etc etc

 

Dont be bloody daft kiwi!

 

So, to sum up, the NHS is within 3 weeks of collapse and we are dependent on staying away from each other to try and avoid this situation while AZ make as many vials of vaccine as they can and the NHS prepares to stick it in lots of peoples arms.

****ing hell, pretty grim. We can tell by the amount of traffic around tomorrow how seriously people are taking it.

 

A few shops shut, kids not at school and people will do what they like. Trust evaporated a long time ago, more the pity.

 

So it's just a pretend lockdown then
Bound to work
Is scotland's lockdown a real or pretend one
