Happy to help. Playing football in empty stadiums is not sustainable for the majority of clubs in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having at least TV money coming in even more so. Not to mention the loss of European money should our clubs be forced to withdraw from next season's competitions.

Suspect Device Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Sweden's light touch lockdown doesn't seem to be resulting in any worse outcomes for them. Wonder who got it right? Time will tell? 1,463 cases per 1m population and 156 deaths per 1m. UK figures are 1,838 cases per 1m and 243 deaths per 1m. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's enough data out there now to see that pattern. Beyond the next few weeks, there really is little need to keep young, healthy people locked down indefinitely.

I guess we’ll find out in time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moomintroll Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 This is why people call me a c**t, can't really argue with that, but ffs stop thinking I am a horrible person.

Paco Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 In terms of new cases per day that is certainly true. At this particular moment. But nothing else. It's an incredibly fluid situation. Three weeks ago we were looking at those high figures across Europe, but we are now starting to see a reduction ourselves from reaching those same 'heights' over the last week. As those countries start to ease restrictions, a realistic timeline for us to potentially mirror those restrictions is about three weeks later. In terms of cases / deaths per 1m population we are nowhere near the worst. You could argue that the cases figure will be skewed by not testing enough, but not the deaths. Due to the way we allowed the disease to spread initially, there is a possibility those most susceptible to serious / fatal infections may have already succumbed to them, meaning any future "waves" would be less severe. I'm not suggesting football be played here in May. I'm talking about football being played here, behind closed doors or otherwise, in 14-17 weeks.The UK death figures can’t really be compared to France or Belgium as they don’t include care home or community deaths. If they did, we’d certainly ‘overtake’ France but probably not Belgium, where the smaller population helps things look extreme. Andorra and San Marino are micro-state anomalies, so suddenly you’re left with Spain and Italy - as you correctly identify we’re a few weeks behind both so let’s see where we land. I’m not sure if their figures include care homes or not to be honest and can’t find anything to confirm either way - if they do, we’re already worse. On cases per population there are far too many variations around testing numbers for it to be much more than a rough guide, Spain and Italy for example have tested about three times as many people as we have per million. We’d land higher than both if the ratio of test to positive case was maintained. In terms of ‘normality’ and why I think we’ll be slower than most countries for something like sport, my biggest concern would be testing. Players and coaches are not immune and will need to be tested regularly, and we don’t seem to have the ability to even test those who need it regularly. Contact tracing needs to effectively start from scratch and there’s limited to no sign of that starting right now. And that’s before we get into the stories breaking today of how reliable our testing actually is, away from the major centres which will be almost useless when it comes to community testing and already are for care homes. Having said all that, 14-17 weeks is the start of August... for closed door football, you could well be right. Maybe, maybe not. All depends how things go with the baby steps of reopening! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
