Not very seriously. Measures being taken are disproportionate in my opinion. As Mike Gooley, boss of Trailfinders said in a letter to the Times, "were this virus singling out infants and children rather than the weakest of the elderly then no measure would be too draconian. But almost all the...
Still sticking with my opinion that it's mass hysteria.
What should have been done is the following:
- those most a risk (old and infirm) self isolate from the start
- everyone else go about life as normal taking the same precautions as you would against any other kind of flu (hand washing)
A...
Mass hysteria continues. How many cases of regular flu yesterday? How many deaths as a result of regular flu yesterday? Why are these figures not reported so that people can see the comparison and hopefully realise that this is not as scary as people are making out?
Haven't seen the figures, but most are probably old folks who would have died of flu anyway. And I'm not frigging goldstone. Just goldstone will do nicely thank you.
Agreed. We should not have sent him out on loan without a suitable replacement. He may have been an idiot for getting sent off, but other Albion players have done the same and had similar punishment. Even if he has a "difficult" personality we could 100% do with him this season to score some goals.
Here are some more stats:
Deaths
COVID-19: Approximately 2,871 deaths reported worldwide; 0 deaths in the U.S., as of Feb. 28, 2020.
Flu: 291,000 to 646,000 deaths worldwide; 12,000 to 61,000 deaths in the U.S. per year.
Not sure all of these facts are 100% accurate, but you get the gist …. don't effing panic. Grow up.
If you are under 50 years of age, and not living in China, you are more likely to win the lottery than get the coronavirus..... which is a 1 in 45,000,000 chance!
NOW, Let’s take one of the worst...
NHS posters about the virus all over Brighton today. What a complete and utter waste of money. Who's paying? The taxpayer. That's me - and some of you.. And what good is it going to do? None. Is anyone going to stop and read a poster with 20 lines of text? No of course not. It's a government/NHS...
Agreed. They can't be worse than what we have on the pitch right now. I can possibly see that Lamptey is one for the future, but why bring MacAllister over here if he's not even going to warm the bench?
If we're going to get out of this we need to do the following:
- stop tinkering with the line-up every single week. Decide on the best team and stick with it for a few games
- start Alzate. Even in the few minutes he was on the pitch today he looked more skilful than any of his team-mates.
- we...
Look, all it is is flu - a slightly more unpleasant version than what we usually have visiting us in the winter months. Some old and infirm people will die. Some old and infirm people die of flu every winter. Maybe it will be a few more this winter. It will certainly help solve our problem with...
Is there just a possibility that this is all a storm in a tea cup? How many people who have died were fit and well and under 65? Thousands of people die of flu every year. All this is is flu. A slightly more dangerous version than the usual one, but it's still only flu. In my opinion the whole...
