Can coronavirus stop Liverpool winning the league???

[alonzoharris]

Hi, I'm curious. So currently the coronavirus is causing problems in China and UK has small number of infections, this could change. So what happens when all games are postponed due to the virus. This might take months and by then 2020 euros soon. Will Liverpool be crowned champions even though season is not complete??

Thanks

The 30 year wait would still go on!!!

Agree, the knock on effect of that would be cancelling the Euro 2020 (12.Jun-->12Jul) and then the Olympics (Tokyo) (24.July-->9.Aug)

Worried about your bets or looking for trading angles?

I'd imagine that the games could be played out "behind closed doors" but still televised if drastic measures had to be taken, things like that happened elsewhere previously with similar pandemics.

But UK and other countries should be much more equipped to deal with such an outbreak, compared to communist China who are more worried about suppressing bad press than the virus itself, the doctor that first warned them about the virus months ago was arrested and told to stfu, poor guy had to die to prove his point. I wouldn't trust their numbers at all, the situation over there is probably more dire than the numbers suggests, they can't even test everyone properly so ill people that end up dying don't get accounted for.

Hopefully the death rate drops to 0 soon, but no matter how you look at it this outbreak will have lasting consequences, less economy, more racism etc. Footballers will stop going to Chinese clubs for one.

Fuck the football league, we could all be dead before the last match is scheduled.

Well certainly not all of us Derek, since the virus has around 2% mortality rate. So basically just us traders then.

It could just be a preliminary virus that mutates into something far more sinister.

The Corona virus won't stop us winning the league... but the end of the world might!

I'm pretty sure the current team could defeat anything that turns up at Anfield.

They seemed to have come out of WW1 and the Spanish Flu and then WW2 with a spring in their step.

But this is already the third coronavirus outbreak in the last 2 decades, like MERS before this, and SARS that came from China as well. Plus there's 4 milder ones that have been circulating around for a long time, if you've ever had a cold or something chances are you already had one of the those 4 coronaviruses

I'm no virologist but afaik the more it spreads the higher the chance it can mutate into something harmless as well, because biologically speaking the virus is fighting for its own survival and killing his host would be far from an ideal scenario to achieve that.

On a more serious note, you would think that Corona Beer would rebrand and change their name by now, but nope.

Corona: We got the beer bug.

Surely such a campaign would go viral...

yup -if good taste wasn't a consideration (on both counts)

Viral for all the wrong reasons for sure, would be seen as just a tad bit insensitive. Saw a recent surge in "corona beer virus" on Google Trends so that's why I mentioned it.

Speaking of insensitive I really shouldn't crack any jokes about the topic, apologies if it caused any offense, hard to look at the bright side of life when there really isn't one and wasn't really aware of how serious things have gotten over there. In the grand scheme of things maybe it sparks a revolution against their oppressive regime, China is due a revolution I think, they do keep arresting/silencing critics and censoring anyone reporting on the real situation so no shortage of martyrs.

Been since monitoring the situation here (https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease ... on-reports), 1368+ deaths inside China and 1 death outside thus far. Reminded me of something Joe Stalin (Mr. Insensitive himself) once said : "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic". Judging by the data it won't get much better any time soon, with the first vaccines probably coming around summer and maybe commercially available by the end of the year. Hopefully Africa and other poorer regions don't get hit in the meantime, they would be pretty defenseless at this point.

Nevermind Liverpool! This new coronavirus could be truly awful for us as humans and our economy if it gets a hold and spreads expotentially.

I want to fly in Mexico for plastic surgery to do nose rhinoplasty but I'm scared of coronavirus is so much news about it.... I will be visiting Mexico and need to choose a good clinic. Should I worry about this virus?

ok, confirmed, your account has probably been hack3d!! lot of nonsense spewing from it today...

[edit] -jokes aside, i think this could be the case. looking at your profile (memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=25545)
