Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 9, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2020 That's precisely what has happened in some places, and may be considered here as part of "social isolating". We'll have to see. I think we'll start to see drop offs in attendance figures anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By cancelling everything I mean shutting down work, public transport, all sport, entertainment every non essential activity for 18 months. Unless you do that just picking big stuff and cancelling it IMO is just tokenism. People are still flying round from affected regions - that is probably a greater worry IMHO than a football game. Cancel stuff when there is good reason - i.e. it is high risk to hold it or the country cannot cope - but I don't see what cancelling the Euros will do in isolation - unless alongside a very long, and very deep set of restrictions - for months and months and months - in effect shutting down economies.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 9, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2020 Air transport is gradually slowing itself down. If people are told to work from home, and mass events cancelled then transport generally slows. All six nations matches are now off at the weekend.

The thing is whilst countries are still in the "contain" phase it makes sense. But once you're in "delay" and the UK example will be there within the week I think - restrictions like that make less sense unless you sustain it and double down on it. I can't imagine us doing that for a year or more - but lets see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event it will not impact upon the tournament. I'm certain - the only way it impacts would be if a mutation made it far more deadly than it is and then potentially the last thing we'd worry about would be a football tournament. We'd not be engaging in public life at all. I'm guessing fanny5 is going to row back on this fantastic prediction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed we'd basically be letting it rip through - but clearly the world has reacted completely differently. I misjudged the way the world would react.
