As has been mentioned on other threads it's not so much the players it's their close relatives and friends who are in the more vulnerable demographic. Even if we lose 1 professional player to it, which although lower risk is possible, it is too many.'"
It's not unprecedented, it's not even the worst viral outbreak. The seasonal flu epidemic in 1989 to 1990 caused 26,000 deaths in England and Wales alone.
Spanish Flu 1918 to 1919 - 200,000 UK deaths (young adults, children and elderly)
Asian Flu 1957 to 1958 33,000 UK deaths (children)
Hong Kong Flu 1968 to 1969 80,000 UK deaths (all ages)

| Going back to the 60s, the legendary film This Sporting Life is on Talking Pictures tv channel this Saturday about 9pm.
A kitchen sink drama, that British cinema was excellent at, about Rugby League .

| I've not seen that one for a long while. Richard Harris and Wakefield Trinity, from memory. I don't think there's any Wire references in the film, but it was a while ago when I saw it.
