    The NBA has been cancelled
    Should the rest of the football season be cancelled does that mean
    No winner for this year's premiership Ha ha
    No relegation from this year's premiership
    No Leeds promotion this year Ha ha
    Be almost worth it
    Apart from villa

    No. We’d be denied our destiny to win the last game at Griffin Park, beat Fulham at Wembley and sign Eze and BOS to five year contracts in the euphoria.

    I see Tom Hanks has tested positive for Coronavirus in Australia.

    I hope he has some bog roll for when he needs a Forrest.

    We are exempt because we are not in the schengen area. Although things may change as virus spreads.

    Hooray! Here is one that no remainer can moan about!
    They have just said that because of Brexit (specifically the no deal preparations) it has helped many food (toilet roll) producers prepare. Meaning the have stocked up. :1980_boogie_down: You see leaving made sense after all!

    Not only that:

    All indoor gatherings with more than 100 people and outdoor gatherings with more than 500 have been cancelled.....so all sports events GAA, LOI soccer race meetings etc....

    People told to work from home if possible....work places to stagger staff hours if possible....

    Social activities to be minimised although for the time being cafe's bars and restaurants will remain open

    Museums etc will be closed.

    Scary times but with taking responsibility for your own actions we can get through this....stay safe.

    I am not supporting the disparate figures Stan but they are probably using two different measures.

    To explain. Those people with test-proven Covid-19 ( e.g in China =80,000) vs the predicted number of infected but not tested people.
    So if 80,000 have enough symptoms to be tested and that represents 10% of the true number of infections. The true number is 800,000

    Agreed even those numbers do not add up, but are closer. Germany are probably including the people who it passes through without causing anything (and there must be loads of those people for it to get so far so fast)

    I am sure many many of us have or will have the virus, and suspect it is already ripping through the population. They are only testing sick people, and more people are demanding testing. (Me today:is my headache and general lethagy due to the wine I drank last night...or is it Cornavirus?)

    As Finglas said, I am not worried but if you have an aged parent with health issues, or a dear friend with serious lung disease like I do. You worry
    So lets all just not panic and take care of ourselves and each other

    Please, please cancel your tables & don't just no show.
    Tough times at the moment,
    37 covers not showing when the food is purchased and prepared and the team are on shift is a disaster anytime,
    let alone in the current tough climate.
    Help small businesses to survive this ...

    The Swedish government have said that all events with 500 or more people must be cancelled.
    The football season kicks-off in three weeks - bollocks!
    No statement from the Swedish FA, yet.

    People in the US somewhat naively avoid Chinese restaurants because it's been established that Coronavirus came from what the Chinese ate in China - and this ****ing woman says it's racist! The word "racist" has become so overused, it's almost meaningless now
