Potential cancellation of games - Coronavirus

[Brisan123]

Yes mate I know I’ve just been hit with another 10 or 11 weeks in work before I can go home.

Not being nosey but where do you work

I assume you realise that most, if not all of those Athletico fans probably don't have coronavirus but lets assume they did. Some RS fans may have been infected, they'll then go home to their family and mix with them, they'll go to work and mix with people there, they'll go to the shops, to the pub, to the park, to the gym. If people feel OK to go to a football match on a monday night then they'll have been mixing with other people for the previous few days. So how does cancelling the match prevent the spread of the virus?

You have answered your own question there
You might not realise it but you have

Because you don’t get 65,000 people gathering in a pub or the gym do you?

Are people really questioning why continuing the games as normal is a bad idea?

There some great deals on flights to China and Northern Italy if you’re interested
No

[Abraders]

The virus spreads from people without any symptoms too btw.

As strange as it may seem yes
One of them was called a flute by another poster

Well City’s sweet Jesus won’t be playing Real Madrid anytime soon
And a lad on here sees no problem with 3000 Athletico MADRID fans being in Liverpool
In bars , restaurants, hotels , public transport , taxis etc

Playing games behind closed doors seems morally wrong to me, we keep getting told football is a business these days, but what other businesses operate without its customers? The only winners will be SKY/BT etc and their advertisers who will see a significant spike in viewers. Feels like its just another kick in the teeth to the fans, the people who made football what it is.

If this virus affected IT equipment not humans and SKY/BT etc couldn't broadcast a game, there is no doubt the game would be cancelled

The fans at the ground aren't the customers that matter. It's the TV audience that makes the dosh.
