The advice is very loud and simple, even I have seen it and I watch very little television.
If you go have new continuous cough or high fever then stay at home for seven days and keep three steps away from anyone, if it then gets worse or no better seek medical advice.
Put responsibly into practice it'll do the same as restrictions.
It'll only spread rapidly if people are irresponsible.

Re: Will games get cancelled?
There are set competition rules for any games that are not played - someone can dig them out if they really want to. It will be unsatisfactory for everyone involved if no other game gets played this season but talk of Sarries escaping relegation is completely made up.

If you are symptomatic then please behave responsibly. If you are asymptomatic, but still infectious, then feel free to pass it on.BFG wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 2:03 pmIt's not being ignored though.chewbacca wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 11:13 am Yes Italy’s response was slow and not expansive enough.

I'm not cynical just experienced
Re: Will games get cancelled?
So is it as simple as Sarries get relegated,Newcastle get promoted and GP teams qualify for the European competition according to the positions they are in now?

Re: Will games get cancelled?
Totally agree but as that would be to sensible the old Fa+ts will not let it happen
Can't really see much rugby being played for the rest this season
Hehehehehehehehe
Re: Will games get cancelled?
If no more games were to be played I can’t see any alternative. Qualification for the 2 European competitions would be as per the current league table too

Re: Will games get cancelled?
Assuming games go on hold for a couple of weeks until the start of the April, I'm wondering how this will impact Manu and his ban given that he can start playing again from the middle of next month?

Problem is we are only just in the foothills of disease onset. Actual epidemiologists and virologists predict late April May peak and no real respite. Problem is this has a mutation or 'cleft' on part of the RNA that is only seen on virulent strains according to the sequencing report. So we could be seeing no rugby for three or four months. This could mean bye bye to Wasps unless their creditors hold off and will have serious financial consequences for the rest.

Trust is being put in people of which some just can't be trusted.
Two boys were sent home from a school for a period of seven days for persistently coughing which they later admitted to their friends was done on purpose to get a week off school.

Good point.Old Hob wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 9:24 pm Closing schools is dumb as our government has recognised thank goodness. Children seem to only get a mild illness (there have been zero fatalities in the 9 and under age group) and, if parents are working, these children are likely to go to Grandparents thus putting the most vulnerable at risk.

Sundays final now postponed
Re: Will games get cancelled?
Personally I think that the SRU should be very annoyed with the WRU for cancelling the match so late meaning all the away fans are in Cardiff already. The Government should be on their backs too, considering the risk of infection, higher I’d argue than being together in the Millennium, that has been caused by the multitude of Scots meandering around the Welsh capital until their train ride home.
