I command super league as being.one of the last sports. If not last sport to suspend its league and suspend its sport.

Does not take away my thoughts that it's the flu. Nothing more and nothing less. We have far more deaths from things like cancer or something yea. A bit more serious. But you get people dieing from the common cold more than we have with this flu.

Its basically scare tactics from everyone. Social media. The news. The governments and people in general. We didnt have this moluch crap with the sars virus. Everything carried on as normal. And we got through that.

The people who have does have been people who are over 60nsnd have underlying health conditions. Take care of the old yea. But for god sake. Dont shut the country down and shut the world down because of the flu and this flu virus.

I've read quite a few articles on this virus, from all sides of the debate, and yes, there are people who disagree on the severity of it all - This post though totally wins the argument...

What more can be added to this??

Believe in what you want but if it was purely scaremongering from everyone involved, including Governments then I just don't get it.

Forget about measuring the severity of this situation by how many people may or may not die from it and ask yourself what purpose would it serve locking the entire commercial world down? There doesn't seem to be an upside for anyone, businesses going bust,people out of work/working short hours potential shortages of commodities, a meltdown on share prices, pensions and investments.....the disruption and cost is massive.

If no one wins why would they all take part for just the flu?

Gunna play the devils advocate here..if this virus is gathering momentum and our glorious leader Doris is saying don't go to pubs clubs etc then why go work why do hgvs travel up and down our motorways.mail being delivered all round the country.this weekend is mothers weekend where supermarkets will be busy and no doubt restaurants will be quite busy.why doesn't Doris shut the country down for a week or so if its that bad...and I.ll ask again does anyone know of anyone who's caught this virus.

Restaurants won't be busy. Anybody going out now, whether to a pub or restaurant, is being irresponsible.

And any grandma who chooses to go out with their kids and grandkids, or to voluntarily come into contact with them, probably deserves to catch the virus and to suffer it's worst.

So going work is irresponsible.. Can't have it both ways

Social contact should be minimal & only for essential things, which I believe work is.

Going for a Sunday roast with granny, surrounded by a pub full of similars, isn't essential.

Why anybody over 70 would be gambling with this, I don't know - And anyone having to go to work or school, shouldn't be going anywhere near over 70's at all.

Well I've just been pick my teenage son up from youth club where there was about 60 in there..on the way home I drove passed a pub which was bouncing with revellers celebrating paddys day..all irresponsible eh...you lock yourself away in your back bedroom... I'm off for a pint

jesus christ

Fill your boots mate... but when your parents are dying, drowning in their own snot, then don't go blabbering to anyone about how bad British healthcare is, or how poor a job the government are doing trying to stop this virus?

i have a friend abroad in intensive care... he has diabetes... so he was vulnerable.. he is in a bad way.

I have elderly parents and relatives... i have a type 1 diabetic brother who is classified as high risk.

We have clear guidelines.... we can see whats happened elsewhere.

Its this kind of selfish behaviour that will cost lives.... Your 'only' is their 'everything'.

Really sorry to hear that and hope things go well for you your parents and your brother..to me I.ll try and lead a normal sort of life as possible as no doubt you do yourself which can't be easy...
