According to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Of that 100k they are saying infected, over 57k of them have already recovered.

So there is only 22k still infected in China.

Overall there are 45k active infections still, and half of those are in China.

It's an interesting website.

meanwhile in the USA alone there have been 30million cases and 17k deaths from the flu so far this year. Perspective is a funny thing.

It is like the statistics for Rabbitohs membership.

The governing body is leaving nothing to chance with its risk minimisation strategy for the global health crisis, and will rely on the federal government to decide whether NRL matches are played in empty or sparsely populated venues.

I'd honestly get out to see some footy live in round 1 if you can, I doubt there will be too many rounds of footy this season you will be able to attend.

Nonsense. Unless they physically lock me out of the stadium I’m still going.

 

[wittyfan]

Roosters home games shouldn't be affected too much.

 

[Pommy]

Paris St Germain have had their game postponed for the weekend. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if these games are played without crowds. The government got battered by the public for their lack of action on the fires and I just feel the politicans will want to be seen to do something even if it’s not required.

That is exactly what will happen.

f**k that, I’ll bring a ladder and climb into AAMI Park from Olympic Boulevard.

 

[AJB1102]

I'm gonna go to games with low attendances just to steal dunny paper and those sandpaper like hand towel sheets in case times get really rough.

They could’ve started by closing the boarders to China a lot earlier than early February

Just how much toilet paper are you hoarding?

If bans come in to place, who knows how long this will go on for. Is Covid19 just going to suddenly go away is it?

Personally, any ban I would implement would be for fans over 70 not to attend, not everybody. But I'm not the government.

Titans membership?

It shouldnt, there isnt much to worry about unless your old or sick.....maybe some fat f**ks will have to pay the piper, but hey they should lay off the fast food.

I'm allright Jack.

There are lots and lots of dumb people out there....... never underestimate the power of dumb people in large groups.

Just imagine how they'd react if it was something serious.

Internationally plenty of people thought Australia overreacted in closing the borders when they did. It would have been a big call to do it any earlier than they did.

I’m not advocating panic but it is something serious. Pretending it’s just another cold is dumb.

if you are a healthy individual you will get symptoms similar to a cold...those are facts. If you are old or have a compromised immune system then its a little more serious for you.....so is the flu. They are facts.
