COBRA meeting tomorrow afternoon. If the increases tomorrow are the same as today, expect the process to close schools etc, including stopping attendances at football, to begin.

they may as well postpone the entire season as most of the clubs need the matchday revenue to stay afloat.
it'll depend on how long they are willing to try to keep it going to try to get the most money out of the situation, as sadly i think that it'll be a toss up between the needs to the economy compared to the needs to the people.

Big move from the US.

My wife works in education and they've been told it's a matter of when, not if, they close.

Me to Dunners, we thought they would try to get as close to the Easter holidays as possible, so next Friday would mean 4 weeks including the hols. Then they could decide on what to do about the exams. Looks like it will be a week earlier.

As of 11th March, of the 31 Countries within the EU/EEA, the UK ranks in 6th position for Corona Virus cases.

Where's the logic in that decision then, Mr. Trump?

Given the relatively low number of people with this, and the huge number of billions of people In the world, does anyone else think it’s odd that so many ‘celebrities’ have it?

It's not just the UK, its non-Schengen countries. Given that hyper mobility and long incubation periods are a major risk of this, it's not a completely unreasonable step, even if it really requires to be done in tandem with other moves.

I don't understand why flu (a virus from animals) is not classed as a pandemic (maybe because they don't name it after a beer). Average Uk deaths 17000, 3% chance of dying. So around 1% of the population 500,000+ catch this every year.

So Corona is insignificant currently. But why are governments so scarred?

Tbf most of the people who have got tickets for this are liable to be of a certain vintage and in an at risk group.
