Chelsea squad self-isolate as Hudson-Odoi tests positive for coronavirus

Imagine if they chose not to move the transfer window

2 weeks hence the 14day isolation

Everyone will probably be red flagged, so no price changes.

Moreover, some teams have games in hand.

How do they decide who plays in next years CL?

I agree with you, things can change as you can't predict everything based on what's happened so far. But you'd have to be the most awkward person in the world to say that Liverpool aren't going to win the league this year

I think two things need to be taken off the table

Ending the season the way it is and giving out the title, Europe spots and relegation spots

Null and voiding the whole season

Let's see what the PL say later. We all want football and when it's safe to do so, games will go ahead (probably BCD to begin with)

Isnt that what they did before ww2?

Very hard to take measures against something that spreads so easily tbh. They’re telling people with a continuous cough to self isolate, and discouraging public gatherings

1. Wash your hands
2. Let more people get virus
3. Then react

If not enough people have it they look weak and economy takes bigger hit earlier.

Wash your hands and continue

If you minor symptoms stay home

Pathetic response but what do you expect from a Tory government

The only measure is to stay at home if you have any symptoms. People will do that regardless.
So the government is aboslutely doing nothing.

They are "thinking" :p

Virus, Virus
Go Away
Never show your face again

Delay, Delay
At Home we Stay
Hoping Virus Goes Away

Something like that I think

They don't give a sh** about us basically. For some reason that manifesto gets them in almost every time.

They are just trying to delay it so 100000 people don't turn up each morning at every hospital at the same time. The actual spread of the virus is inevitable and unstoppable given enough time

The government using it as a natural cull v sad

Washing your hands

Don't go on any .cruises

Postponement more likely... cancellation only if the situation deteriorates further

euros getting moved to 2021 to allow all domestic leagues to finish once it over in month or so

Almost certainly looks like the Euro's will be cancelled now which gives them a couple of months in the summer to extend the season into. The most sensible thing would be to postpone the season for 3-4 weeks, give all the clubs affected a chance to self isolate and then finish the season playing behind closed doors. But when is anything the authorities do sensible.

B.

Honestly. And this is coming from someone with all their chips in tact but outside of the money spots

I’d say refund. Different people may have all chips left, in 5th places for example, and would have been waiting to use them now.

A refund seems like the only fair, albeit annoying, outcome

I'm suggesting 20 points be allocated for each chip left and then use those new standings.

I'm currently 78 points clear with only TC used so this doesn't affect me.

Refund - the bet is void.

Roll money onto next season so a double pot and keep the same 40 players?

i think the average points per chip would work out less than 20. would be nearer 10. im in a similar position but im 2nd with all chips and 1st has used them all and is only 2 point ahead so i am almost certain to catch them

If the season is postponed there is no problem. Season won't be cancelled, but the only sensible thing to do in that scenario is A.

No Club would risk I guess

It's a farce if so.
But then I'm salty because Vardy to Auba has been so rubbish.

It would be a total abdication of responsibility. Since the government has failed to act so far, the PL should make its own call.

lol, your worker holiday posts crack me up, i can’t tell if your being serious or not

What if they were not in a condition to enjoy the holidays?

I think they’d find away / casual employers... I mean I’d say a lot of NHS nurses has holidays planned over Easter that they will no longer be able to take.

You have to feel for the premier league players not being able to go on their end of season holidays to Dubai though

Get some updated material 😛

I think they’ll manage! even if two/ three games are played in a week to get it over with sooner - like a PL playoff tournament in summer. Essential to decide relegation and CL spots.

Sure they'll be fine. Just get all the staff in that were gonna work at the Euros seeing as that will probably be cancelled.

Colombian cold?

gezondheid

Bless you

Not sure about you, but the people around you should be.

All those things should be closed down for now.

I hope they are well and looked after.

Sauce?

Hell No. They won't

😀

The awerness of the public at large is the most important factor of containment. In Asia was exactly what happened, people knew this was serious and self protected themselves and their families by immediately changing behaviours and routines. In Hong Kong the next day all restaurants were empty!

In the UK when you have the prime minister saying pretty blatant crap and vast majority of people saying "we will be fine". Just the same type of blind ignorance of Brexit only this time chickens are coming home to rooster a lot faster!

Does he have access to supercomputer processing power?

😆

Hehe

😆

Mentioning them two in same sentence is like saying candyman three time in the mirror.

Going to be a quiet 5 months then

Are you in the Big Brother house?

And then 28 weeks?

WHO is the only source I'm interested in in this regard and they are not saying this.

Ah, the internet.

28 Days Later

It is 14 days.

wtf. That bell£nd must be reported asap

Ya concerning. Most handling credit cards/money and exchanging most likely is a good way to transmit from one to another.

Add wear gloves to the things to do to minimize transmission?

Don't put your railcard in your mouth and you might be alright.

Do not hit that button unless it is the absolute last minute and you have had assurances certain games are going ahead. It will be very useful later and there is a great chance of no football this weekend.

Games will be cancelled after the deadline if it's going ahead.

It would be a massive waste, in case the season is finished later.

Agree with Fish. No way should you use it

It was all a bad dream

Which FPL season? Not yet started...

Pretty much everything is going to be scrapped

Only manc fans would want that to happen 😉

Yes please.

OMG

Doubt it

Wouldn't make much sense to do that

Still saying same

And the people who just don’t get the timing of the containment phases. How do they negotiate using chips etc

Yeh the nearly 10% death rate in Italy wants a word with them.

Funny it's just like brexit. Morons form 2 extreme camps, the end of the world crowd and the is just flu crowd and the reasonable people in the middle get trampled

The symptoms are not as bad as flu apparently https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51858845

But the spread rate and death rate is obviously much worse.

I'm still going to the pub later, but if I hear coughing it might be time to leave...

Did they fancy a lie in cos it’s Friday like??

Australia: Typhoid Tom Hanks has been caught. Emergency toilet paper rationing.

Island of Koh Samui, Gulf of Thailand

So far, no reported cases of the virus on the island. (fingers crossed)

Schools have been closed since last week until late April but that is the normal school holidays here, Thai New Year/Songkran Festival is mid April, the usual big parties/concerts etc for the New Year will likely be cancelled. The Full Moon Parties on neighbouring island of Koh Pha Ngan have been cancelled.

Still quite a number of tourists in the resorts, I would say mostly British and Australian, though much quieter than usual/previous years and no doubt the hotels.resorts/private villas for rent will see or have seen a fairly large amount of cancellations/postponements.

I drive around the island most days and visit several resorts on most days and you wouldn't know there was a global health problem, some people wearing masks but not that many.

The expat bars I go to still have their regulars, I was in a couple last night. Don't know about the bars/restaurants in the main tourists towns/areas I don't tend to visit them very often.

Overall there's no sense of panic or fear, certainly at the moment, perhaps being on a small island in the middle of the Gulf of Thailand has meant less exposure and there have been very few Chinese or Korean tourists in the last two months.

Chips to be burnt left right and centre.

That means West Ham vs Wolves will also be off
