Interesting stuff from Sky Sports here, with what – at first glance – looks rather like a leak designed to cushion what will be a catastrophic blow for English football.
The suspension of football announced in the last few days was never seeking to pass itself off as a solution to the crisis. It was a holding measure designed to give the governing bodies and clubs an opportunity to investigate the situation fully, take guidance and then construct a strategy.
As far as the business of how the 2019/19 season is to be concluded, the matter is too complex from a legal standpoint alone, to be settled cleanly, and to the satisfaction of all concerned. A few ‘solutions’ have been mooted online and as yet, none of them stand up to much scrutiny.
For Tottenham, this is a curious situation for ENIC, as however long the enforced break turns out to last, it will only benefit the playing squad, and only damage the business.
The irony of it all won’t be lost on many Spurs fans – that the only time the football side of the Good Ship Spursy can catch a break under these owners, is when the league is shut down.
Well apparently the Israelis were ‘conveniently’ working on a vaccine before the outbreak. Now that’s what you call ‘timely’ and ‘handy’!
Agreed but you also have put the argument forward of why countrys have locked down.
We have 3 choices
Protect the vulnerable by shutting main way bugs and viruses spreads I.e schools, with view to lock down if it isnt helping.
Complete lockdown
Do nothing watch an evolving virus rip through the country reducing population and say it’s for herd immunity.
We are at optionn3 which in my opinion seems silly but will openly admit I could be wrong.
Just cant stop thinking if it evolves in under 18 months what immunity will anyone have hense the seasonally flu jabs
Of course Corona is more deadly and virulent, it’s new and there isn’t currently a vaccine. If you didn’t vaccinate the vulnerable for seasonal flu the mortality rate would be far worse than the current figures.
The average age of fatalities to Coronavirus is around 80 years of age, if people in that age group didn’t get their flu jabs they’d be dropping like flies… it’s also far more widespread an illness too.
I am certain the endgame is indeed mandated vaccination programs throughout the world. There are billions to be made by pharmaceutical companies and the media hysteria adds to the urgency.
Levy probably has shares in the pharma company which will provide the vaccine. He doesn’t know how to lose money.
It was a genuine enquiry with no intention of trolling.
I thought I would bring it into perspective. If Arteta snuffs it I might sit up and take notice. LOL
Right by your figures and amounts flu has a mortality rate of 0.06% and corona 3.84%
So which is more deadly?? At it’s current rate of killing if it hits 34 million cases will have 1,298,800 victims so which is more deadly
When you put it like that it does all seem a bit weird.
I guess they’ll argue that that’s with trying to keep the roads as safe as possible and treat for other illnesses as best as possible, if they didn’t then those figures would be even worse.
Sorry, I thought you were a Trump fan.
Forget Trump. Forget politicians. They’re not your friends. Once Trump had had his audience with Kissinger, before he was selected, you knew who was going to be pulling his strings, once he was in the White House.
Who own Bozo Boris, Macron, Merkel, Putin and Trump, to name but a few.
Glad to hear it, and part of a crime syndicate that goes right to the top.
Same ethnic family.
Trump has more connections to Russia than any other US muppet in the history of your entire Muppet Show
Big Pharma is a crime syndicate.
LOL I am more right than that famous German.
You’re answering your own point without realising it.
In the meantime nearly 2,000 will die on our roads and 142,000 plus this year will die of cancer, plus, of course, all those thousands with heart attacks.
You can rest assured he did, most likely in private, because it’s true and he knows it. What they say in public can be ignored.
I can’t see how it’s going to work. Give it about three weeks and all the advice will change.
The media are scaremongering and the governments are just covering their backsides. The most effective way to get rid of it is to get it and keep away from the vulnerable for a week. For about 75% of the population.
You’re missing the point. Politicians are actors on a stage and politics is a circus, with the media as their clowns. They’re all in it together and they’re all the same.
He most likely said it, but is now covering himself from all the lefty flack now coming his way – plus he’s renowned for flip flopping.
Hidden in plain sight as always. This virus lark was covered by The Simpsons years ago, as was 9/11 in the 1990s.
LOL It’s a hoax – 100% b*****ks.
Are you suggesting the figures of seasonal flu are inaccurate?
Just to put things into some perspective;
So far, the new coronavirus has led to more than 100,000 illnesses and more than 3,000 deaths worldwide. But that’s nothing compared with the flu, also called influenza. In the U.S. alone, the flu has caused an estimated 34 million illnesses, 350,000 hospitalizations and 20,000 deaths this season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The approach needs to be 100% protecting the vulnerable . Follow all of the protocols in that regard but trying to contain this between the majority of the population that aren’t vulnerable seems counter productive.
If you don’t have contact with any vulnerable people in your job or family then it’s probably best that you get it, self isolate and get it over with. Then you’re no longer a carrier ever again and If you do this on mass and correctly the virus will shrink dramatically.
People living in isolation for a year until a vaccine is developed may not be sustainable or even effective…
Only mugs get mugged by
Levy. The rest of us aren’t that stupid…
You mean Mugging off the Mugs .
A miraculous ‘cure’ is on the way – their bottom lines demand it!
New infections slowing down in Asia, but April 3rd never gonna happen. Bump the Euros to 2021, smash out the last 9 games June/July, start the new season in September, cut the pointless league cup to save a few games, back on track.
Easy!
Football. What is it good for ?
