thplinth Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 The Dow Jones dropped over a thousand points yesterday so somebody is getting spooked by it. Only 61 reported cases in Iran and yet they are saying 15 deaths. That is a bit alarming. Big spike in Italy as well now. I can see them shutting down the planes here if this keeps progressing. I have to admit to being a bit suspicious about it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 The WHO have said that it seems to be burning itself out in Wuhan due to the number of daily deaths decreasing Reports that the UK Government are starting "Excess Death Contingency Planning" with local authorities but i'm not sure it will come to that. It looks like this is similar to the flu with those that suffer other medical ailments and the elderly most at risk rather then the general population The Spanish Flu was a fucker as it was likely to kill those that were young and fit rather than the weak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCTA Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 What’s the chances of these fitba’ play-offs all going ahead as scheduled seeing as sporting events are now being cancelled? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could go either way. If they do need to get cancelled, I think the teams with the higher Nations League ranking should go through. Maybe the whole tournament might have to be cancelled. Hopefully it will have calmed down by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Starting to look like it is past the peak. As long there are no more major upward spikes in the next 3 weeks it should hopefully start to fizzle out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has a long way to go IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
