CoVid 19-th Man ‘chatter’ : Sun Mar 15, 2020 8:37 pm  

Australia first had the virus 6-7 weeks ago
In Melbourne we have a strong Chinese Link and we had 11 cases in Melbourne 6 weeks ago
Yet it hasn’t caught on
Still only 5 deaths in Australia I believe

Why isn’t it catching on here ?

Have FC played their last game for 2-3 months ?

Will warm weather see the virus drip off ?

I see the Pasta shelves in Morrison’s on Holderness road are now resembling Rovers trophy cabinet shelves.

Rice is so last week, I’m now hoarding Tobasco

It is thought to be spread by water droplets that we exhale so in warmer countries it will definately help stop the spread that is why here they talk about delay, hoping the warmer weather if it ever comes will help.

As reality bites, and we all have to suffer cancellation of trips and tours, matches locally cancelled, and even the old sky not having anything to show, it’s like a double dose of the bleak midwinter, god I love rugby league for all its faults, for all its problems, Fridays Saturday and Sundays, even bloody Thursdays are not the same, it’s such a huge part of most of our lives, get rid of this fekin virus, and perhaps when we are back to normal, we can realise what pleasure a simple game brings, and perhaps we should all enjoy it a little bit more.

Lovely sentiment, and wholly concur.

Singapore has the virus under control and it’s not spreading that much in Aussie despite the fact we have had it since the beginning
Warm weather really seems to help
Let’s hope for a HOT April in UK

Aussies aren’t really testing many people
I have had staff off with heavy colds etc for the last 4 weeks
My wife and daughter both have had a fever for a day and a cold but perfect now
None tested and none went to doctor but went to school and work

I believe the deaths we report are correct, yet the number of cases are obviously way under the real number due to lack of testing. However, that just makes the conversion between those who have had it, and those that have died even lower
