Unless RFL and Superleague follow suit, this could give our game a great boost by extra television coverage.

Of course, even that could change by the end of the weekend. In other news, my employers have confirmed that we will all be working from home from now on, until we see what develops.

Bedford Roughyed Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

Ackroman Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I was sat in an Italian cafe in Harrogate this morning with 3 other people and the owner talking about Coronavirus. In walks this fella and over hearing our convo declares he's been told to go home due to the virus as he has a sore throat. "Kevin" I asked "why are you in here and not at home?". "I feel fine," he says. No amount of shaming this tool would get him to put down his latte and go home. So folks we're getting it regardless, as there's too many numpties about. On the plus side at least we'll have good immunity for when it mutates and comes back next winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside for research purposes, understanding the travel of the disease, and perhaps giving certainty to the majority of us who are likely to get relatively mild symptoms (assuming other outbreaks ring true for our turn), is there anything lost by redirecting testing resources to where they are needed the most, ie in a hospital situation when missing the presence of Covid 19 could be fatal (and also problematic from a staffing POV if too many staff fall ill)? I mean I can't say I feel a sense of loss at not knowing for certain that I have Covid 19 as opposed to one of the bad colds that have been flying around my office since I started in the petri dish that is my place of work (still hot desking) but I was wondering whether there is any actual problem with the re-focus of our testing resources?
