I think, this weekend, all EFL games should be cancelled, (not postponed) and the home side awarded a 3-0 win.

This has nothing to do with RFC being at home and/or me being in isolation.

Green I know football is gentrifying but I think we're a long way from football fans having a slash at half time being indicative of general hygiene standards.


Why not?
It's a cross section of the population same as people gathered in pubs and clubs, cinemas and theatres. I don't think hand washing is normally undertaken that often or thoroughly. And if people are still not doing so, despite being given the warnings, it strikes me as worrying

The Corona man used to come round our estate twice a week

I've never seen people piss in a sink in a theatre, or someone leave a discarded pint glass in the urinals.

The Johns Hopkins University site has a daily update,
every country, many by state, with confirmed cases,
deaths etc.

What interests me is that you may read, for example,

UK 384 Cases, 6 deaths but what is not widely-reported
is that just EIGHTEEN are considered recovered.

Worldwide.

119,451 Confirmed Cases
65,972 Recovered
53,479 NOT Recovered
4,635 Deaths

I think this explains why the death-rate is so wildly different
between countries. Germany is only 0.13% (2 People) but of
those confirmed cases only 1% have recovered, as yet

Seems like the death rate of 3.89% in China, 6.22% in Italy might
be nearer the eventual death rate

ATM the UK death rate is 1.57%. Where will it finish?

Good point :)
I wasn't really thinking of that aspect, more the general in/out casual wash or none at all.
Anyway it seems as if people are making more of an effort since this game that I was was referring to
Not that I have seen it - I'm trying not to leave the house!

Iceland "only" has 81 cases but that is 41 times the UK rate per million people

If the UK had the same infection rate we'd have 15,603 confirmed cases
and at our current death rate that would be 245 deaths, or over 1,000
deaths already, if we were dying off at the Italian death rate.

The problem is that in most places you have to touch the taps with your hands. So, having got your hands clean, you then touch a potentially contaminated tap again to turn it off! As one expert said, the only way to get around this is to use one tissue to turn the tap on (then discard), another to turn it off (and discard) and a third to open the toilet door (I know there are none from the urinals at the Mad Stad) on your way out and then discard that!

If opting for the hand sanitiser (assuming it has alcohol based gel in it) you should try to use your arm to dispense the gel rather than your hand for the same reason.

Given this, and assuming that they haven't touched any other surfaces, some might conclude that touching their dick/urine is the least of the potential hazards!

Because, of course, none of our own citizens will have travelled and brought it back into the country! And there will still be 'freedom of movement' with the necessary visa/passport.

It was our own incompetent Government who were slow off the mark in implementing checks (and even proper advice) on passengers flying in from 'hot spots'.
