Paris St-Germain's Ligue 1 game at Strasbourg, which was scheduled for Saturday, has been postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak.

It is France's first top-flight game to be called off, with 613 people testing positive and nine deaths in the country as of Friday evening.

I've heard that there's a couple of new viruses on the go :poorly:

The Heineken Virus and the Stella Virus, apparently the symptoms are completely different to the Coronavirus whcih can be cured by sticking a slice of lime in yer bottle of lager ;-)

For the two new viruses its recommended that you consume copious amounts of the orally administered vaccine, the side-effects are the munchies, beer goggles, nausea and a throbbing headache, which will disappear if you partake of large greaser and a hair of the dog.

Sorted ;-)

Oh no. This will only get worse in the coming weeks, can’t see sporting events going ahead soon enough, disaster.
Not taking away from the serious health risk to the public but bloody hell its just our luck isn’t it!

How are they even going to enforce that?

Are we talking soldiers on the streets?

Ive accepted even if we do win promotion we wont do it in front of our fans sadly.

Think we will get the Cardiff and Fulham game and maybe the Luton one but after that i think closed doors at best :(

Theoretically though say we end up taking a similar route to Italy.

What happens then to the football season? Know its not more important then health but even so.

Israel essentially going into quarantine.

Financial markets in meltdown.

I think football may be a trivial matter in amonths time.

Evangelos Marinakis the owner of Forest and Olympiacos has confirmed he has the Coronavirus.

This could change things for football.

He was present at the Arsenal vs Olympiacos game less then 2 weeks ago.

He was also at the Forest game last weekend.

Sadly, I think its inevitable that we are going to see either a suspension of football or the behind closed door option here too. Absolute nightmare given how close Leeds are right now but I am not sure what else can be done with all this going on currently. I am amazed Cheltenham got the go ahead tbh with over 250k expected across the 4 days.

My thoughts too. I think behind closed doors is only way otherwise the backlog will be too great and we'll be into the Euros before we know it.

My question is why do we have to take action like this ? Thousands of people die every year from Seasonal Flu. We don't shut down sporting fixtures, consider closing down schools etc because of this so why is this such a big deal?

I think people have massively overreacted to what is something still relatively minor.

Feel free to call me naive but I just don't see it. My stepdad works as a nurse for the NHS and isn't concerned.
