Coronavirus 10:39 - Mar 4 with 75698 viewselectricblue

With the spread of this illness what are the chances of games getting called postponed and the season not being completed.....

What would the financial knock on effect be to lower league clubs.....

I thought that the behaviour change unit headed by David Halpern and very influential with No 10 since the Blur government was supposed to know how to make people do as governments wanted them to.
Effective public health policy is based on the recognition that you cannot rely on individual behaviour change.


The Behaviour Insights Team has no specific remit to change people's behaviour, rather to offer insights into how and why people change their behaviour

Im amazed D_A how many Covid19 experts like your good self are on this thread Rochdale must be the epicenter of research.


Epicentre relates to earthquakes. Seems to be an in-word in the media. Like lockdown. Like “like” I suppose!

" In February 2020 Favipiravir was being studied in China for experimental treatment of the emergent COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) disease.[1][2] On March 17 it was found to be effective in treating the infection in two trials in Wuhan and Shenzhen."

What a coincidence... uncanny


where's the coincidence.

They have a virus in December/January that Favipiravir might work on so of course they will start to test it in February and in the region where the virus actually started. Where else would they use it, in healthy people?

It strikes me that shutting down schools and letting the kids out is a bit like releasing a swarm of mosquitoes in an area suffering from malaria!

I'm a postman and my manager was today saying it was possible we would me mooted as key workers. He didn't elaborate and to be honest I had no idea what he was on about.

Having just googled it, I'm a bit embarassed. I hardly think getting old dears their pizza leaflets can be considered essential service.

I’ve stayed well clear of the ‘politics’ of how the government has handled this so far but I’ve just heard Boris referring to the ‘enemy being invisible’, ‘sending the virus packing’ and ‘turning the tide’. If he’s going to do this faux Churchill thing though I think people will become increasingly more critical. It’s not the Second World War. I think people want to see informed decisive action re the virus, not vacuous nationalistic platitudes.
He increasingly looks like someone who’s rhetoric doesn’t match his actions. He very much comes across as someone who is not proactive in making big decisions and is deflecting the fact that he’s being overtaken by events with increasingly empty rhetoric.
Still, never underestimate the appeal of vacuous nationalistic platitudes.

Got to admit I am surprised you have kept out of the political side so far BDM and tbf I do agree largely with your post, our new leader seems somewhat unsure which way to turn, but to counter that, I don’t think any decision by any leader, will be 100% right, and I think boris is in the same position as everyone else.

Churchill was an amazing wartime leader but not a great politician outside of conflict, Boris will have all the advice from experts to hand, and maybe it’s just a we really don’t know yet situation.

Hardly any country has acted in exactly the same way, and, whilst Austria may have limited cases, due to (what would be described as draconian and against the working man if Boris did it) their approach it will still hit them, be it now or next winter in a nastier form.

Overall I agree bigdave, but regardless who was in charge, it’s the behaviour of some “people” that won’t, can’t or are too bloody thick to listen that annoys me most.

34 years I've … grafted and it's the first time I've ever been considered essential to the national wellbeing.

Don't put your job down rich, I've got two at home who get most of their many and varied NHS (and other) appointments confirmed by post - essential for them as email appointments seem to be beyond the NHS.

Seen this idea on Facebook workable?


The plan is to segregate all vulnerable people (older, ill, disabled and at risk) let’s call this group A

Anyone looking after the older, ill and at risk can be group B

The general population / generally healthy can be group C

Group C needs to go about it’s business keeping the country moving, kids at school, us at work

Group B looks after group A and avoids contact with C

Group C is allowed to contract the virus and because it’s generally healthy it can cope with it better than group A

Group A and B are almost self isolating without the virus to avoid putting strain on the NHS and reducing the risk of getting the virus and then needing the NHS

Group C (the generally healthy) go through the cycle of contracting the virus self isolating and being looked after by healthy family members, friends and the local community

Anyone who has complications gets looked after by the NHS while groups A and B are kept away The NHS are not strained by A and B while its looking after complicated cases in C

As group C comes full circle and recovers it divides in to groups that take group B’s position looking after group A allowing group B to go though the cycle

With B and C though the cycle, A is free to have NHS to itself because B and C are now clear from illness and infection and hopefully have a degree of immunity from getting it again this season.

Hope this helps those that are worried or not sure of the plan

Everyone has a job to do for the above to work

Apologies James, but CBA came to mind half way thro'!

It started off well with my family being segregated. Then I got to the second line and realised I'd have to go with them. Spotted an immediate flaw there!

This is probably neither the time nor the place, and the plan has much merit in principle, but who's going to be going round the supermarkets panic buying with everyone else so busy?

Yes read that too. Can we inject the C's with the virus to get them through it more quickly. Much fewer need help to get through so worth a risk. Hardly anybody left at work from next week anyway. Then we can get them back to work to save the nation.

They annoy me too. We jumped from 104 to 144 deaths today. I don't know, we may have better scientists, a better health service or ………. When you see what has happened elsewhere in Europe though, I think we've been too lenient, especially in London. Sincerely hope I'm proved wrong, but that trend above is not our friend and smacks of an escalation about to get out of control. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong.

tbf (and i fully realise we're talking about the death of loved ones here), but the rise in mortality is pretty much in line with what would be predicted; which would also lead to a continuing upward curve for a while yet (weeks). The "low" estimate is below 20,000 deaths by the time it's done. In stark terms, that could mean as many as 4-500 a day at the peak, i.e. x10 the current rate. It's important we're as psychologically prepared for this as humanly possible

Can only agree that behaviours will need to change much faster
