I think this Saturday could be the last time we see Notts for a few weeks.

This morning I would have agreed, but after seeing the government PC I think English football will carry on as normal for another 2/3 weeks, though obviously if players become ill that will force certain fixtures to be PPd.

I'm 57 with no health problems and I've always kept myself fit, plenty of dog walking and cycling does the trick these days. I'm confident of recovering if I do get the virus. My plan in the coming months is not only to look after my ederly mother and my wife's parents ,but to look in on and help in any way I can the ederly near to where I live. I see it as my duty and I know many others feel the same. The only downside I can see is I don't drink tea.

Very laudable sentiment Navy, but if things get bad just make sure you check up on them via telephone, and keep your distance if and when you make any deliveries.

We're one of the last countries to 'react' so the answer is no, we aren't over reacting. Apparently , in 4 weeks we could have a very similar situation to Italy. ....time to bulk buy some spam!!!

quite right, watch your step.

Maybe if they'd carried on with the vaccine programme after the last co virus instead of binning it when it died down we might have something to help.

It makes me angry that be always have plenty of stockpiles of bullets bombs enough nuclear weapons to destroy were world a thousand times over yet cant keep stocks of the things to help a medical emergency, masks, respirators, etc the US is running out of the ***** drugs people need on a daily basis because they're made in china, probably ours too made over there.

Constant wars, climate change, world pandemic more plastic than fish in the oceans by 2050, chubby checker psycho Belgium's in the Congo.

We're all fkuked one way or another.

I suppose, thinking about it, it’s fairly miraculous we’ve had 70 odd years of completed football seasons.

It would be one where we’re doing quite well that looks as if it might not finish. Still, first world problems and everything.

I know you dislike me pretty intensely maddog, but comments like that means I can't fully reciprocate.

I think they have to finish it somehow. It would be outrageous now if Norwich and Villa were guaranteed to enjoy what would effectively be a 2nd season in the Premier League (able to learn from their mistakes, sign new players and 'go again' with PL experience) whilst West Brom and Leeds would be condemned to flogging it out in the Championship for another year. And then we come to Bolton, would they have to start with the massive points deduction again? The season has to be completed*

*Though obviously it should be scrapped immediately if Fword move into the automatic spots.

It might be worth checking the rules to see if there's a mechanism for keeping the current league positions as the final league positions if it gets abandoned, in the same way as if a match gets abandoned after so many minutes the results stands.
