Late screening for cancer causing deaths People not catching issues early as they don’t go to doctors Suicide and alcoholism deaths due to issues caused by jobs loss, families breaking up, kids having no future Older generation giving up due to no contact with family or being left alone in care homes as visits can’t happen Ok you refuse to answer the question but accept some people will die but that’s acceptable except your own relatives ?

laukat Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 7 minutes ago, thebiglemon said: This topic is about stadiums reopening, right? Yip and the answer is they aren't. Next question is how do Thistle survive. The chancellors annoucement put petrol on a burning fire. Seems like some of the clubs are realising this The problem is still the same. How do you operate any businesss when you have to pay the wages even at 66% and you're income is reduced by 43? Stopping the leagues doesn't stop the players needing to be paid unless you make them redundant but that involves pay offs and now you're income is zero because you can't play games. Unless insurance policies cover this sort of thing or there are clauses in players contracts catering for this its hard to see how clubs without large cash reserves or a wealthy benefactor are going to survive.

No. Let’s give them a chance to develop it. Also, there are treatments that seem to work. And it maybe they will be enough to get us back to some kind of normal. But we are just coming into the most dangerous part of the year. Now isn’t the time to say stuff this. If that doesn’t work - who knows ?

Norgethistle Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 This is the hypocrisy of it all, even in Norway.

Lenziejag Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 8 hours ago, Norgethistle said: After years there is no vaccine for SARS, it took decades to come up with one for flu, but that’s only one strain at a time, small pox took 100’s of years to eradicate using a virus. None of these caused mass lockdowns or impacts to our freedoms like we have seen for last 6 months. This current situation cannot run for years or society as we know it is finished, family units broken, economy ruined, mass unemployment like nothing we’ve seen, hospitality sector gone, professional sporting events ended for good. If this goes for say another year the above will happen. You may be secure enough with funds/pension that it may not affect you to badly, but anyone under 55 with a mortgage reliant on their job is going to be devastated if this keeps going, not to mention the teenagers leaving schools into a decimated jobs market, and no government can continue to pay furlough for another year. Theses businesses won’t open again as demand has gone and consumer spend has dropped. This could also apply to Scottish football if leagues mothball for a season I don’t think anybody has said shutdown indefinitely, but now isn’t the time to do as we please. We have no idea how this and the flu are going to mix. We have some idea that some people have ongoing health issues after recovering from Covid. Did you think anything should have been done at the start or is it just now that we should abandon restrictions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
