the reason sporting event are going ahead is nothing to do with the virus it's to do with the availability of emergency services

there's little chance (scientists words not mine) that anyone will pick up or pass on the virus at the rugby tomorrow or the game on Sunday, you're just as likely to pick it up on trains buses etc

The reason (they say) they are stopping mass gatherings is because mass gatherings are required to be policed,they require to have emergency ambulance cover, they require the services of our voluntary health services for covid stuff

What i dont understand with this is..

All ive seen recently is, if youve got symptoms stay at home.

Im surprised weve not opened national screening centres, with strict guidelines for entry.

The uncertainty is the worry for me. There seems to be like no plan in place.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a plan, stay at home and ride it out and it will eventually come settle and become easily manageable.

The issue is almost every country in the world has realised it needs drastic action apart from the UK, what do we know that everyone else doesn't?

Apart from the fact our PM is a flucking @rse ferret who liked the mayor in Jaws.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aye but not everybody can just stay at home.

Thats the concerning thing

I’d imagine your family would find 2 weeks stuck in the house with you fairly difficult mate.

trying to protect the economy aren't they

its a risk tho

Mate, I’d happily take any terminal illness just for the sheer pleasure of planting you firmly in the ground for ever.

Anyway: when’s your demise?

I would think the governments stance is taken only after expert advice.
Other countries may be going down another route which is fine as long as it also is based on what the experts are telling them.

Each country and region is at a different stage so that might justify the differential.

Clearly if you think you know better then you are still free to self isolate or go mingeling with crowds of people as you see fit.

I do find it hard to believe we are having 50'000 people in one place on Sunday and packed pubs around the country mind you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But you are not sitting with 50,000, you have about 8/10 folk in close proximity, much the same as a train or bus

hopefully I drag it out a bit

put 50'000 people next to 8-10 people
That's going to be a big potential cross contamination
Take 50'000 people traveling to the game
Train bus underground
Further potential cross contamination
Add in people who will go to the pub to watch all cross contaminating

All these people take whatever they pick up home
More travel more potential for contamination

Then on Monday they go to work.

The potential just from that 1 football game is massive.

Now I get that in the scheme of things its probably not much different from normal everyday life, but for the trivia of football it could be avoided.

Great news

So is it just the German and UK leagues still going?

EPL looks like it'll be suspended

I presume the minute the EPL is suspended we will follow suit?

Germany have put forward a proposal to suspend games for the next 2 weeks, after their round of games behind closed doors this weekend.
