bwfcfan5 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Nonsense. By then either the virus will be slowed by the warmer weather, be everywhere anyway or have died down. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 14, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2020 Formula one have postponed the Chinese grand Prix, and there are questions being asked about the Olympics, though it seems just speculation.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 26, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2020 I can see the six Nations not finishing properly now that Italy is suffering. Cases in Switzerland, Austria, and Croatia now. It must be a major concern, particularly if European countries go through a similar event as China, with a rapid increase then gradual tail off over the period of a few months.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 6, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2020 If they're talking of a 12 week period for the thing to grow and drop off again, it gets very close to the tournament. Must be a genuine risk of it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Its 18 months till a vaccine can be deployed at a scale worldwide. If you cancel this then every large scale event, all football, all sport, all concerts, festivals etc will also need cancelling in that same period. Because this is a virus very similar to the common cold. It isn't going away. I say we get on with stuff and take sensible and proportionate precautions and steps to prevent health systems from becoming overwhelmed. Cancelling stuff makes no sense unless EVERYTHING is cancelled IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
