It's just latin for 'crown' so I don't think they'll ever need to rebrand as such. Increasingly the virus is being referred to as 'Corvid 19' anyway. The virus should be gone in a year or two at most, God willing, whereas the beer will be being consumed by myself and others for many decades more, I hope.

It's COVID-19, not Corvid, but neither is very catchy (no pun intended) and the media mostly still using Coronavirus.Crazyskier wrote: ↑Thu Feb 27, 2020 10:57 amIt's just latin for 'crown' so I don't think they'll ever need to rebrand as such.

I can see Cheltenham getting cancelled despite current reports.
Think its only about a 70% chance to go ahead so a lot of people think it's in doubt - Japan are racing behind closed doors now so with it becoming such a real threat in Europe recently it could definitely be delayed.superfrank wrote: ↑Thu Feb 27, 2020 11:49 amIt's COVID-19, not Corvid, but neither is very catchy (no pun intended) and the media mostly still using Coronavirus.Crazyskier wrote: ↑Thu Feb 27, 2020 10:57 amIt's just latin for 'crown' so I don't think they'll ever need to rebrand as such.

Can post a bit of data that the media don't really seem to be reporting, hopefully it can help alleviate some of the fears and not exacerbate them.


So in short we have to worry about the older and sickly people the most.
Worth noting that only 0.7% of the Wuhan population got infected at the very epicenter of the outbreak, despite their inept mishandling of the whole situation.
So with a bit of math you can conclude that the chance of getting infected and then dying from the virus is very slim indeed, as low as 0.0028% for a 35 year old. Haven't compared the fatality % to the regular seasonal flu but I suspect that the flu actually has it a bit higher, around 1% if memory serves.

Agreed. However, it uses statistics and valid data therefore the media and general public will completely ignore it.wearthefoxhat wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 4:00 amGood info.Kai wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 3:49 amCan post a bit of data that the media don't really seem to be reporting, hopefully it can help alleviate some of the fears and not exacerbate them.

By those stats then you probably have more chance of meeting Elvis in Tesco’s or winning the lottery.sniffer66 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 8:44 amAgreed.

If the virus kicks out, we could find matches being played behind closed doors: -
