Oh absolutely, it's no more than a guide. Norway is second only to Italy on this metric, but you suspect their testing might be more thorough and/or accurate than in other countries.

590 yesterday - United Kingdom Coronavirus: 798 Cases and 10 Deaths - Worldometer

Still way below most other European countries in terms of cases/1M population. The question is, will we continue to follow the same upward trajectory.

Couldn't say, but it does appear that the confirmed cases does not tell the full picture here or anywhere else. Given that many countries have declared that they are not going to test people who get ill and self-isolate back to health, I'm not sure how valuable these figure are. The number of...

Yep. It's a pity they have nothing specific to cover an event like this and the early termination of a season. Ultimately, they may have to make a decision one way or another, but whatever decision they make, those effected will have to like it or lump it - there is no legal recourse. Like...

Which was exactly the point I was making.

They being football administrators? Lessening the peak was not in their thoughts or is it their remit. They are free to make their decision, but the idea that the EFL are better qualified than leading virologists on managing the outbreak is mad.

And which 'medical crap' are you subscribing to? I take it you're dismissing the advice from leading experts based in the UK? Fine, but I doubt your position is any more grounded in scientific certainty than the rest of us. Next season will be relevant, because life will go on. The...

I recall you've had a personal tragedy recently, so sorry to hear that. I know we need a sense of perspective but we all really care about this bloody game, and it really would be a huge blow.

I'm putting this out there now - the season will be written off. Pressure for this is building. Games won't be able to resume in April. As soon as this decision is made in places like Germany and Italy, we'll follow suit eventually. I'm preparing myself for League 1 football next season.

That's the issue I have. Not only is it contrary to the advice, it's the way people are dressing this up as 'health is more important, look at me, I'm so compassionate'. It isn't grounded in logic, at lot of it is pure self-interest or indifference to things that might have profound...

Massive boom in births in around 9-10 months from now. More bad news for the NHS...

If it resumes April 4th (doubtful, but assume it does), we're straight into a run of fixtures that includes Peterborough, Gillingham away and Oxford. Ouch.

While I'm more than happy for CCFC to keep what money they have from me, I am kind of hoping I get the £100 I spent on Accrington tickets back. Along with the £600 I've spent on tickets for the Euros. Being self-employed and having had 2 jobs already cancel, it looks like I'm royally screwed...

So our next game, in the best case scenario, will now be Peterborough at home, unless they re-shuffle the fixtures. This is before the suggested peak though, so I expect they'll be a further delay.

This is interesting. That there are PL clubs calling for this stinks of self-interest to me:

I thought L type was more prevalent, but there is no evidence that it has a higher CFR than S type, but it is easier to transmit. I might be wrong though.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek to be fair. Piers Morgan is very hard to avoid on Twitter, whether you follow him or not, and he is becoming completely unhinged on the issue.

Are people really going to politicise a stock scientific term like 'herd immunity' and start likening it to social engineering? On mutations, I read something the other day that said one new variant had emerged 'L type' I think, from the ancestral 'S type', but it also suggested the virus...
