So now would be a good time to cancel the return ferry you can keep them.

No chance. We have enough of our own. They breed like rabbits

And thieve like Magpies, no wonder they're looked on as vermin.

Yeah but this is not like smallpox. This is a Sars COVID a severe acute respiratory syndrome. All flus are corona types because they resemble a crown when viewed in a lab. Immunity is built up over a few years but this has spread very fast. So the deaths are magnified as it is an acute strain.
Your country had banned travel between states. The very shape of my country makes that impossible to achieve. The Chinese could lockdown their provinces easily. Meanwhile in Italy people fled the North and placed the South with less medical facilities under strain. A football game was played in Milan between two teams who's stadium was not big enough. Thousands travelled and took it back with them. Horse racing went ahead and a hundred thousand attended Cheltenham. I'm expecting a flare up near me as its ramadam this week. I will be staying well clear. Muslin are still attending funerals in large numbers here they do not care.
This virus will claim many more lives yet.

Chinese are way ahead of us.
Very sobering read

A great read that. Theres a popular belief and Ive no idea if true or false that China has drastically fiddled its figures and that are far worse than they're saying. Maybe, just maybe, they've handled it better than the rest of us. Either way, well soon know for definite

I’d never believe any report supplied by the Chinese

They most certainly have handled it much better than the rest of us if that story is factually correct.
Was written by Debi Edward who works for ITV news, and she has been very critical of the Chinese reporting of this virus, so no reason to doubt it.

They are all your own that's why they are called Irish tinkers

Only called that over there. We call them English cos of their accents

There is no such word in the English language as English tinker, and they still sound Irish to us.

That’s two words btw

Scouse?

Scouse?

That's stew isn't it ?

I see Cheltenham is now being linked with spikes in cases, wonder how many watching a race will kill.

See the British government have just said they don't see social distancing coming to an end until they have a vaccine, so doesn't look like any fans at games this year.

Not necessarily! Have you seen all the empty spaces at some stadiums? They looked they were distancing before all of this!

Well yes millwall etc will be able to go watch their team, but we're fooked.

There won’t be fans at matches until the virus has been eliminated and that could be a long way off.

Can't see there being any matches for a long time yet.
So many obstacles to overcome.

Players will have to do a pre-season, that's if they are able or willing.

If you was a player with a pregnant wife at home, or you've got a child with asthma or other medical conditions, no way in the world would you mix with other players at the training ground!!

Exactly. Every sports fan wants their pet sport to start up whether it’s football rugby golf or whatever. Totally understandable. But if we’re to criticise Cheltenham and the havoc it caused, we must realise other sports won’t happen either. Governments can’t be seen to make exceptions for one and not another

Nearly at the end of week 6 of total lockdown, just been extended for another 2 weeks, that will take us to May 11.
Clubs here struggling like everywhere, players saying they will play when the health service say its safe not what the league decides, makes sense.
Random stat I saw earlier, the museum at FC Barcelona turns over €57m a year!
Stay safe all.
