The Virus - 'Doomsday Scenario'

[Reverend Lovejoy]

Can't believe the carry on over this. 600 people on average die from flu related illnesses in the UK every year, so far a 70yr old with underlying health issues has died in this country from the Corona virus. You can't get hand gel now for love nor money and people are using perfectly good vodka to make their own. Tesco's has ran out of bog roll and people are being told where and when they should sneeze if they feel the need. Face masks are selling for up to £50. 

Loada nonsense if you ask me.

Be a bit of a sickener if you were 70 and turned away and your 69-year-old pal was waved through.

Might be the first time since I was 16/17 that I'll maybe wish I was older?

Wouldn't they just be able to play the games behind closed doors if the worst comes to the worst? Broadcast the games live on DeeTV for the remainder of the season, hopefully get back to attending games come the play-offs. Worst case scenario, but still doable.

The issue is when a player or family member of a player gets infected, everyone they have been in contact with is supposed to self-quarantine for 2 weeks. For sport, that probably means the entire team will need to be quarantined for 2 weeks, or certainly many of them. It's happened with the women's rugby team. It's the impact of all the self-quarantines that have caused the greatest disruption here, and probably will in Scotland too.

In such a case then the club involved could request a postponement - I think this is already in place anyway. 

I don't see why we need to keep reinventing the wheel - use the rules already in place.

They’d be rocking up with fake ID’s. 
I’m never 70 yah wee sh**e, it’s the grief that comes with being a Dee fan that has aged me prematurely.

Might be a bonus being refused entry to Dens.

Just reading that the Premier League down south is thinking about banning over 70s from the football. What would folk think about that happening up here?

Earlier in the season I was hoping for a ban on the 40s attending

Absolute f**cking madness. What next over 70's not allowed out the house

Surprised that the age thing is the way it is. I remember being ill all the time when I first went to school. Caught every bug going and parents thought that it was good to get through these infectious diseases when young. Also thought that older people had more immunity to bugs than youngsters because they had been exposed to more of them.

I think that being able to trace causes of infection should not be solely the responsibility of the authorities. What is wrong with giving the names of those who have the disease. Surely friends and neighbours would know if they had been in contact in such a way that they might have been infected.

Dont understand why Big Brother knows their names and addresses and wants to be in charge of finding out who they might have contaminated.

Did any one notice at the end of last Tuesday's game the players shook hands?
