| Quote: fartown since 1961 "Yes I think player welfare is very important.
There will be around 50 players making regular Transatlantic flights to and from Toronto in S/L and Ottawa in C1 next season and how this will affect them with Covid and the demands on the body from 8 hour flights is yet to be seen.
The RFL and S/L have no thoughts for the players or the organisational skills to run even a p*ss up in a brewery as has just been shown with the ‘suspension’ for two matches of Jackson Hastings.
Despite Catalans getting Covid the RFL will still send teams from England to France so Guasch can start getting some gate money in. Player welfare naw... not at all. If you enter a UK league it’s tough if you have to play in England behind closed doors.
But in all good conscience how can the RFL risk players travelling to France a quarantined country?
The game constantly plumbs new lows... for an oldie like me it’s sad to see...'"
Football teams will travel to France as well in European competition as well as other places. That's just what has to be done to keep sporting competitions running.
Also are we forgetting here that catalan are not the only side with covid cases. The English sides already beat them to it.

And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

I spent a week in hospital with Covid in April and appreciate the damage it can cause. However, the measures now in place are totally disproportionate to the virus we now have.
There are more people now dying from the effects of standard influenza and this will continue to be for ever more, which suggests we are going to be living under constant restrictions, seeing as influenza-caused deaths aren't going away any time soon?

Pleased you got through it but to say that it's not a threat is just bazaar, flu has always been a threat but you find covid is the bigger threat as it's out right now being spread.
Have some thought to the ones that are susceptible to catching it and are more likely to struggle to recover

The death rate from covid is no worse than a standard flu. Like flu, it will claim old people and people who are generally vulnerable to any sort of viruses going around. Like my consultant said in hospital 'its a good job, you aren't fat, because you would be dead now'.
My point is, that while certain people need protecting (mainly because of their own self neglect over their lifetimes), deliberately crippling your own society has been a huge over reaction and will cause far more deaths and misery in the long term than this virus will ever do.

Again you are showing ignorance It's not all about self neglect and being fat, while that is an issue with many my neighbour has leukemia and so far is recovering well, I'm not as serious with rheumatoid arthritis but both of us are on suppressing drugs for our immune system, neither of us are to blame for our conditions and wouldn't wish on our worse enemy
I'll leave it here as your just proving today's society doesn't give toss for anyone other than themselves ![Rolling Eyes icon_rolleyes.gif](images/smilies//icon_rolleyes.gif)

And you should rightly be shielding, as I presume you would from any flu virus in any given winter.
Again, the point is, we should not be crippling ourselves and our long term future for what has been a bad flu outbreak, albeit at an unusual time of year from when we usually experience one.
