gazza77 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Interesting to see one of our rivals taking the completely opposite view with regards to allowing overseas players to return home. Personally, I'd suggest we've taken the correct approach. https://www.totalrl.com/scotland-international-leaves-leigh/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=scotland-international-leaves-leigh Please view my photos. http://www.hughesphoto.co.uk/ Little Nook Farm - Caravan Club Certificated Location in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley. http://www.facebook.com/LittleNookFarm Little Nook Cottage - 2-bed self-catering cottage in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley.

"I am told the virus has an extreme serious affect only on the weak and elderly people with low immune systems respiratory problems and severe illnesses. No more so than pneumonia that has the same risks. The death rate is allegedly around 2% of people known to have been diagnosed with it and allegedly 90% of those have been over 80 years old which would support the above synopsis. It could be argued that the 2% is higher than actual surmised as many people could have had the virus but not reported it or realised it as they are fit and healthy. After all the advice is self isolate so surely many have done that and not reported their illness. It’s the only alleged mass life threatening disease I have heard of (not that I have heard of everything) where you don’t need to go to the doctors or hospital rather just keep yourself to yourself for a fortnight. Many would refer to that as a holiday but I don’t want to make fun of a serious situation. So what is the solution. Ban travel? Cancel sporting events and use of public transport? Shut schools? Think about what this actually does! It shuts down the very existence of the human race. It will kill off businesses and livelihoods not viruses. Could even kill of countries totally dependant on travel and tourism. Take rugby league as an example if all games were played behind closed doors until further notice even without pro rata refunds in season tickets most clubs would go out of business without the income from attendees. So what is a solution? For me self preservation. Let people be accountable for their own protection. Let people decide for themselves whether to travel use public transport or attend sporting events. Let people employed in those areas decide whether to stay at home or go to work. That way THOSE who ARE at high risk can protect THEMSELVES with great ease by staying at home and those who will simply feel a bit offside like having a bad cold can carry on about their business without bringing the country to a halt causing pain and misery to far more people through financial ruin! Just my view but one that if not adopted in part or whole will see a serious affect in the world far more devastating than the virus itself. I am happy for my view to be shared by anyone who feels it ought to be I am also aware many will shoot this down in flames. The choice is yours. The operative word is choice and that is something the scaremongering and proposed actions is removing from us all." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardypaul Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 What a complete cock womble he is. Yes the chances are that if fit rugby players catch this virus they will be fine but there is also the chance that it may cause irreversible damage to their lungs which makes it a bit of a lottery before you even talk about spreading the virus and the effect it could have on their family, friends and the wider community. To be honest if I was a player I would really question whether I would want to play for a club with that attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Slater Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Robin, I've not heard for a day or two about whether there's any risk to unborn babies, but you as a health professional may know? Rugby League players are largely of the child producing age and I would estimate that at least 5-10% of a squad would at any time have pregnant wives or girlfriends? If there's still any risk the players should not associate, no matter how fit and likely to recover from the virus they are. If I was a husband or wife of someone taken by this evil disease I don't know what I'd do, but if I had nothing left to live for I may harbour evil thoughts about this idiot. One small compensation - He won't be selling many sundecks this summer and will be less likely to bankroll them in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Evans Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 The evidence is seemingly changing by the hour. The last I read was that the effect of covid-19 was not having as severe effect on unborn babies and new born up to early infancy as a representative sample as it was having on other age groups and that recovery rates amongst infants for some reason are quite encouraging. This of course assumes there are no other underlying diagnoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
