The Premier League Thread

Why just the Premier League?

 

I personally think we're still quite far from that point tbh.

 

Because it's the only football that exists ...

 

Obviously not just the PL but this is the PL thread.

 

3-4000 cases and they will consider it.

Maybe i am not taking it seriously, but I think there is more chance of me getting it at the Supermarket or doctors surgery than at St Mary's?

 

Welcome, Victor to the closest top-tier football club to me!*



*A mere 1300 kms away.

 

Won't be allowed an open top parade either.

 

I think this is the last Premier League weekend for a few with fans present in the stadiums.

Although the research says unusually that you are more likely to catch it from the supermarket etc, it does seem to make sense to stop 30,000+ people traveling from all over the country on public transport, going to pubs/restaurants etc and then staying together close in a stadium for a couple of hours.

 

If stadiums were closed to fans, do you think season ticket holders would get partial refunds?

 

Is this Corona virus any more dangerous than the pandemic flu viruses of the past?

 

Slightly more so because there is no vaccine for it. Therefore it cannot be contained except by having good habits against spreading it. And you must have heard how to do that by now.

 

Why does our common cold transmit with ease in the cold months, yet Covid19 does well in humid temps? What makes that difference?

Kelner added: "That may include advising against, or even a possible ban, on over-70s - the demographic considered to be at highest risk from the spread of COVID-19 - coming inside stadiums."

Such a ban may affect the former England and current Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson, who is 72.

 

Yeah that’s an interesting one. Most of these viruses bugger off when the weather turns, but you’re getting this one in hotter countries too.

 

Might be related to people not really hanging outside in the hot but congregate inside where the air con is blasting away?

 

A person's immune system tends to be at an ebb the colder they are below the ideal for them. So the very robust Common Cold virus tends to get us there. However, humidity aids the transmission of viruses, so they can get us in that way too. For example, everyone has experienced a "Summer" cold too. I don't know how robust the Covid-19 virus is, but obviously there are better and worse conditions for it to thrive or not.
Aside from the obvious, if unavoidable, lack of a vaccine, what pisses me off quite a lot about this one is that the incubation period before it erupts in the individual could be as long as 24 days, according to present knowledge. Which means a lot of people could be infected as they unknowingly still go about their everyday business, and infecting others at the same time.

 

Don't get me wrong, these past few games have been amusing. I'd just rather it was against the likes of Wolves and Sheff Utd who Liverpool were stumbling against.

 

Come on Bournemouth!

 

1-1

 

Comedy gold that.
