Coronavirus - Should Sporting Events Be Cancelled?

[BlueinBosnia]

It's hard to imagine getting to the end of May with football matches going ahead normally. Especially the Chumps League.

It is at the moment, but a period of warmer weather *could* flush the virus out. From what I've read, it seems we simply don't know enough yet to make a determination as to whether this will happen. Everything could calm down in 3-4 weeks, but if it doesn't, I'm with you on this.

Arsenal played West Ham after Olympiakos. Do Hammers need to be isolated too?

782 confirmed cases in Madrid alone as of this afternoon and their traveling fans are arriving in Liverpool. Unbelievable

I think they’ll be okay if they are disinfected when they get back to Madrid.

*I laughed*

Woke the wife up laughing at that one. Genius!

I can see the EURO's being cancelled now in order to allow the domestic leagues to finish their leagues in the early summer. If it's not safe by then, the whole thing will have to be scrapped.

Cancel everything, containment is key.

Cancel everything, containment is key.

after the madrid game....

I get you're joking but seriously this needs to be done now, can't believe Cheltenham went ahead, fucking daft.

It’s all so complicated is this, wife just rang from Altnagalvin hospital to let me know it is in lockdown because they have a case onsite, well I was there yesterday in the same ward as the case, so do I self isolate? And all those visitors yesterday as well, this is so difficult

Do you live anywhere near Melwood?

I want to know what Ashton feels about this match being cancelled.

Live in Derry, so no will not be infecting any dippers just yet

He doesn’t believe in coronavirus

Was one of the funniest threads ever on here.

He popped up a couple of weeks ago and then just disappeared again. Him and his cousin were class

I think, as expected, the world was not ready for something like this, at this scale. I don't think the vyrus is the problem, but the people and the way they act. Including footballers.

Now, I think it will be divine intervention if they will stop the Premier League and the whole season will stop and will restart in autumn. There is no better justice for the scouse scum.

Really the universe does not want them to win the fucking league.

This ain't being flushed out anytime soon. Granted I now live in Seattle where there's an outbreak combined with a completely inept government response. But it's now a worldwide pandemic so warmer weather in one region isn't going to have much of an effect at all. Most models show this going on for another few months, not weeks.

Icey around the ground?

Nope and it may be here to stay. We are all hopeful it will have a difficult time surviving in higher temps and humidity but there is no data to support this yet.

And even if it does, the 2nd wave next fall/winter will likely be worse. A vaccine hopefully will be available in the fall of 21'.

Even if they don't cancel the league, imagine the dippers having to celebrate winning the league in an empty stadium
