Any chance this will be postponed because of the Corona virus outbreak?

At the moment the distance from Perpignan to the lockdown towns in Italy is about 600 miles.
Think we're about 120 miles away from the nearest case in the UK
Obviously depends on how it spreads

Don't know whether or not it's fake news but seen both French and Spanish governments are planning on stopping events which have over 5,000 people attending.

That relates to indoor events only, I believe.

There's been a Person in Bury who's caught it, So maybe more of a risk in Greater Manchester.

Just back from N Italy about 150 miles from the nearest lockdown
No mention in the resort, no mention at any airport, and the travel co are sending people this week
I have a friend who is a doctor and skiid with us. She has to self isolate for 14 days. The Foreign Office only gives advice if one is ill.
So a complete jumble.

So a complete jumble. absolute shambles really as you can go 3 day with it before you start to see any symptoms. Anyone coming back from that area should have to self isolate |

The problem is that most people only have very mild symptoms and there are lots of carriers both sets never get in the stats.The people who need to self isolate are probably the elderly and those with medical issues.
They are the ones at major risk.

They are the ones at major risk. Listening to a virologist talk about it. The trouble with this scenario is that the coronavirus is five times as infectious as flu. This means carriers or those with mild symptoms risk other peoples lives if they don't isolate. It also as a high mortality rate, currently sat at around 2%. If it drops to around 1% that still makes it ten times more deadly than seasonal flu. Seasonal flu kills approx 250-650,000 people each year. Self-quarantine regardless of severity would be a sensible option. |

The advice from 111 is that if you have symptoms, then self isolate. If not carry on. We were in the far side of the area, almost in Austria, been on coaches and planes, been through airports. Travel companies have not been stopped from sending people to the area we were in and there is no mention/ precaution anywhere from hotel to home
I consider your information is flawed but I don't want to argue about it. The problem is, if you research it thoroughly, that there are many 'experts' with many opinions.
But just a couple of points, there is not one flu, and the death rate for this type is between 0.4 and 1.8 %. In annual flu statistics it is unclear most times what has caused death, flu or the underlying condition.
But as I said it's not a thing I wish to debate. I was just trying to help the original post.

Betweeen us,we’re experts on rugby league.
We’re not experts on pandemics,apart from what we hear from the nhs,Wikipedia or the many experts who’s opinions vary.
Much rather discuss playmakers and our middles defence where we’re all knowledgeable

After the Wakefield game think that Jones should be dropped with Lussick doing the full game. Lussick hasnt looked great but need to give him a chance to play his way into form. Given injuries and suspensions would go with:
Evalds
Sio
Sarginson
Welham
Williams
Lolohea
Brown
Mossop
Lussick
Dudson
Yates
Pauli
McCarthy
Flanagan
Ikahihifo
Burke
Lannon

I don't want to derail the thread, but as someone who went through a dire year after contracting a mutated version of swine flu, which turned into pneumonia, which in turn brought on sepsis, I've become a little more aware of viral infection issues than most. Month and a half in a coma, my wife being told twice to prepare for my funeral, nerve damage muscle wastage and learning to walk and function again it's a subject uneasily close to home. I had no underlying condition and nearly died. I wasn't aiming anything at you personally just making a point about the current problem with the advice being given at the moment. My months of talks with virologists and consultants always said the same thing. We don't know why all types of flu and similar viruses kill some people and leave others unwell. They can even leave critically ill individuals with nothing more than a temperature, but can also kill a super-fit person in their prime. I wasn't having a pop, so apologise if it seemed that way. Back to the Catalan drubbing... |
