How much will Coronavirus (COVID-19) impact Aston Villa's season?

[Lastfootstamper]

Wouldn't you go to hospital in an ambulance as opposed to home?

It was "red cross ambulance", which I'm sure would drop you home if you asked nicely.

[PeterWithesShin]

I always remember it as a St Johns ambulance.

Sorry, yeah, that's who I meant.

A third of games free to watch, then. Well, so says my covid group. I thought the beeb only had 4. I assume these will be free to watch if you already pay for whatever non-sport platform they'll show them on. Is there a BT equivalent to Sky one?

[cdbearsfan]

I think the free to air ones will be BBC or Sky. Ones behind a paywall will be Sky or BT.

No vaccine, a half cocked contact tracing system and because of this a risk of a massive second spike.

The Government has effectively removed lockdown for political expedience and football is back for political and ££ reasons sending completely the wrong message to young men and women who are itching to play (which will put them and their families at risk). This country.

Yes. I refereed for Leisure Leagues every Monday up until lockdown. I half expect them to be starting back up again soon.

Sky are broadcasting 25 games for free on their Pick channel which is Freeview channel 11 I think.

And roughly 10 times as many deaths per day yesterday as the average European country.

Having read through some quotes from AEG, Mings, Targett this week we don’t seem to be fully 100% into this season restarting. We seem quite negative whether it’s complaining about having to wash their own stuff to how poor their fitness is to questioning why they are back. 

The fact is it is coming back and mindset is going to be the difference in many respects to whether we stay up or not. Really not loving what I’ve heard so far. Look at Norwood at Sheffield Utd saying they’d be ready to play tomorrow and that they all surpassed their fitness test results on their return to training in comparison to return for the last pre season. They are bang up for it, we need to be too.

Perhaps they're on the same wavelength as markeeeebeeee2005. I certainly echo those comments.

So what is our population and population density compared to the average European Country, as surely without that info the stat is meaningless?

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

"meaningless" with or without a question mark is not a word I would chose to use no matter how many deaths are recorded in this country or any other for that matter.
