Nah man, 4 month down the line, it'll be a distant memory like zika virus and all the others that were gonna wipe out all of europe.

No need for the expletives or the rest of your quackery IMO.
You do realise that a Cold isn't Flu and that people can/have died of Flu? It's probably OK though just nature's way of bumping off the weak. I can agree with your second sentence to some degree about calm/masks and hand hygiene BUT traveling to affected areas even if you have the constitution of Conan the Barbarian is a consideration.
Case in point I've recently returned from skiing in Lombardy no worries as it was before any reported outbreak (and I had TCP available at all times) you'll be pleased to know and so will Dave Roy and Clare on SW 40 that I'm fine. However Auntie Rico's sister has just returned from the same resort via Milan airport and she has been advised by work to self quarantine and her kids got the same from their school.
So although at the moment there is a binary choice, as it's not on the FO's hit list, it's not a simple 'should I stay or should go now' decision based on a rational/irrational fear of catching a 'heavy flu' or a reliance upon the power of Dettol. You might also be taking a chance of a couple of weeks in the comfort of your own home, or stuck abroad should the picture change and you don't make it back.

It sounds pretty rough in St Helens, I can see why you need to get away for a bit now. You've not bought one of those cheap flights with a stopover in Tehran have you ?

| Are most of us going to die? probably not.
Are we going to experience things that will inconvenience us (a nasty bout of flu, having other NHS appointments cancelled, not being able to get something in the shops at some point), well that is definitely a possibility.

Coronavirus kills 5% of people that get it, with 15% of people getting critically ill. Most people will recover from it easy enough but it’s certainly more deadly than flu which kills 0.1% and isn’t comparable to a cold.
I hope Coronavirus isn’t used as an excuse for your poor travelling support, and in response to the OP, if SL is played in front of empty stadiums watching games will be the last of our worries, more pressing will be obtaining food, most of which is imported.

Your statistics are right in one sense but also very wrong. Numbers can be twisted to show whatever statistic you want to work in your favor don't forget. COVID-19 actually has a mortality rate of 2% of that 2%, 15% of the people who have died were over the age of 80 and of that 15%, those without a pre-existing medical condition (comorbidities) have a 0.9% chance of passing from the Virus.
This link should shed a lot of light. [urlhttps://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/[/url
We has all this with Bird Flu, Swine Flu, Spanish Flu, SARS, MERS, Ebola... All of which came to nothing. Wash your hands regularly, Keep calm and carry on.

Worse ground in UK SuperLeague for away fans (Never been to Toronto).
Stood on an open Western Terrace with no cover from the elements.
