Coronavirus

The 4000 people who were going to die daily as a result of the spread.

There is a difference between forecasts based on modelling scenarios and stats. People look at the forecasts and when they're "wrong", as the stats are later released, they shout. The important thing is to listen to the information that comes with these forecasts. They're normally set out to explain why a decision is taken and show the projected effects on numbers if those decisions are not taken, which in simple terms means they are obviously going to be "wrong".

Yeah, it’s all made up, you bunch of cowardly sheeple....

Libertarians would say avoid legislation and give people the information to make an informed decision. On the assumption that if you treat people like adults then they'll behave like adults.

That's the assumption anyway. What could possibly go wrong?

If the forecast says it's going to rain, take an umbrella. If it doesn't rain, oh well. It's a bit of a pain in the arse lugging an umbrella around, but not as bad as getting soaked.

If Big Sam was so scared of getting covid, why didn't he just stay at home instead of becoming a manager again? That said, I'd accept us ending the premier league season now with calculated points per game because we'd do pretty well out of it. Or not, can't be arsed to work it out.

No mask on your face,
You big disgrace,

Can't believe games like tonight's Villa v Liverpool FA Cup tie is going ahead. What's the point? The result is totally meaningless. Hardly fair to Villa is it? Over 1,300 people died yesterday FFS.

I posted this in the Premier League thread, but:

Coronavirus outbreaks make it 'morally wrong' to continue playing, says Steve Bruce

Newcastle boss Steve Bruce says it is "morally wrong" to continue with football amid increasing coronavirus outbreaks at clubs.

should be noted the managers calling for the league to stop are those whose clubs are losing like Allardyce and Bruce

Or those with simply some plain common sense, unlike the rest

To be fair to Bruce, they’ve been hit hard by the long term absences of Lascelles and Saint-Maximin, who are, for them, pretty important players.

In contrast, I think that anyone that believes it is right that football goes on is certifiable. Bruce is talking common sense.
