    Do we think Cheltenham will go ahead Tuesday week?

    Roughly 280,000 in attendance over the 4 days

    I'd say they'll be cancelling. Think the UK is just about coming out of the denial stage.

    It’s a mostly outdoors event, so, yes. It will go ahead. Rachael to be top jockey!

    They've been doing for years what some are calling for now - close the country off from the outside world.

    Well the staff that work there must do something?

    :confused:

    The staff that work there work in shift patterns, a lot of the stations have contingency plans for situations such as this. Like food stores, etc.

    Turlough hill has enough food frozen to keep the lads going for 4/5 weeks.

    We might not be the best country at planning things but we’re not a total shambles

    But the vast majority of Italian fans who booked flights and extorionate accommodation here will come over next weekend and with no game on in the stadium will go to the pub and if infected will spread it worse indoors than if they were at the stadium.

    They should be denied entry into the country.

    Not a chance.

    Behind closed doors the most likely.

    That'll require a fairly big building

    Has Madagascar closed its ports? I'm only semi serious, but anyone know?

    No reports that I could find, but inhabitants of other islands are getting pretty defensive about entry screening.

    My knowledge of world geography is getting better by the day, between looking at these reports and playing Plague Inc.

    Just had a very frustrating debate with my mate who thinks I'm overreacting when I said I am 99% sure Cheltenham will be called off.

    He things I'm talking ****e about it and it's only a flu in his eyes. This is a very smart guy who is absolutely clueless to how serious the whole thing is. Same guy would eat up RTE content.

    1) snow is a very different scenario as many roads were blocked and we're not geared for snow like other countries, 2) even so nobody ran out of vital supplies, 3) this isn't a "global killer" or anything like it. :rolleyes: That would require an actual death rate north of 30%.

    2% is still massive Wibbs. That's not 'a member of your family will die' but it is 'someone on your street will die' type of number.

    It's not Ebola or MERS, but what those diseases had in mortality, they made up for in being much easier to contain. Ebola sometimes self-contains it's so deadly.

    You can only do what you can. If the game wasnt called of and there were 20 new cases the next day, the DOH would be blamed.

    If the game is called of they are blamed too. Its a lose lose situation

    No mention of a school trip in that link though.

    It's normalcy bias, ChikiChiki. Try not to get too worked up about it - lots of people will fall into this trap even as the conditions here gradually worsen.

    It wasn't a school trip, but a family holiday to Italy.
