What about contractual problems as above if that happens Cam? Dont think it is that simple to say we will just finish in June.

I guess the world has far bigger problems than sporting contracts so if there can't be some give and take then I'm afraid I don't have the answer. It's like the parents here whose first response to schools being closed to protect public health is to sue the school districts

[rolymiller]

True Camiller but as you know particularly in the US a suing culture exists in most matters. If we had to stop the footy season because we were being invaded by aliens some fecker would make a legal case out of it...

I agree that there would need to be give and take but that would always be a matter of contention..

It’s a bit of a concern for some business's that have supplies coming in from abroad when they are shutting some borders

International air and shipping trade is not currently impacted but of course in Europe a lot of trade will be impacted due to the amount of road movement. We have projects due to be completed in 2023 being impacted by deliveries due from Chinese contractors who have been closed for 3 months.

I know this is going to sound very simplistic but why not just protect the people which are most vulnerable because it appears they are the ones most likely to die from the virus and let the rest of us get on with getting the bug in our own time like any other bug we may get. They say for most the bug is very mild. Once we have had it surely we should be immune then and get on with our chuffin lives again.

200 more cases today in UK- still accelerating, unfortunately. At least no more deaths reported

So that includes anyone over 60 here being told to take active precautions against getting the virus. How many MMadsters would that include? I'm OK for 6 months

. How many MMadsters would that include?

Most of the regulars, I would guess.
Re China - it has taken them about 4 months and the near shut-down of some of their big cities to stop the virus. Will we follow the same strategy?
