Mark the day you said this!I suggest you stock up on tins, tape up the windows and doors and hunker down for a few weeks. Meanwhile in the real world the rest of us will continue about our normal business taking the self same life precautions we always do. The media / social media lead hysteria is off the scale. Imagine if a real plague emerged in the developed world, it would be armageddon stuff. Let's just concentrate on making it to Hampden.The way this virus is spread, how multiple people can be infected by one carrier, the breadth, depth, volume and speed of modern day travel/business/tourism has already seen this virus outstrip any new virus for countries and continents affected so rapidly.
Just watch and listen to what world leaders are doing and saying.
Edit: just for comparison the SARS (a corona virus) counted only 4 people infected in the UK over TWO years..!

Newcastle.. abroad..?Lovely story from Bruce there but his players are still going to be breathing in close proximity with each other. They'll still be sharing showers. They'll still be gobbing all over the pitch. They'll still be failing to wash their hands after taking a piss. And in their spare time, they'll be travelling all over the UK and perhaps abroad as well.
Are we at war? -
Bout time you self isolated. LolMaybe the ignore function could be turned into a quarantine function, just to be safe.
-
Oh... ach I am sure it's fine.No. -
Were the ticket office staff changing gloves for each transaction? Lol...I was down at ticket office at 10am.4 in front of me in queue,20 tickets sold in 5 mins.I think there will be a decent crowd. -
England's chief medical officer, Prof Chris Whitty, said on Thursday that transmission of the virus between people in the UK was "just a matter of time".It's the flu, away and have a lie down, or nip over to China for a wee break, done good deals just now. [emoji28]
He said if the outbreak intensifies, it may be necessary to close schools and stop mass gatherings of people for "probably more than two months"....
Might as well take up a cheap flight if you can. The inevitability of catching it off a shopping trolley in aldi will soon be as much of a risk -
Hysterical pish?The masons will be dropping like flies. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]What a load of hysterical pish.
PS I heard no people of oriental persuasion will be allowed into the ground tomorrow night, that'll damage the attendance. [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]
Iran is shitting itself, as are all its neighbours. Jeez even the guy put on TV to lie about them actually having a f**kin clue was already inflected.
Italy has sent shockwaves across Europe, that wasnt anticipated. And it means now for Europe, like China, Iran and all the other places that didn't have a clue that the virus has spread and its impossible to contain, that it's already out of control. If there ever was a way to control it?
By the time the Italians cottoned on to what was happening hundreds of thousands of people had moved through the infected areas.
People who have just visited Italy are popping up infected. They had the opportunity to infect everyone on the plane, train or coach they were on, and everyone they have come in contact with, directly, or indirectly (door handles, hand rails, restaurant tables, sauce bottles, cups cutlery etc.. etc.. since returning home.
You want proof that leaders are shitting themselves? Watch or listen to Trump's latest statement on it. Fick me even he could not spin one tiny bit of it.
Is Bojo avoiding the public in flood hit areas because theyll give him pelters..,?
Or simply avoiding contact with others?
Watch to see if he, or Trump go walkabout or have a group of the public in close proximity anytime soon!
The government dont want to tell you they cant do a thing to prevent it, other than bit by bit asking you to reduce/give up contact with others.
Face masks dont prevent catching or spreading it. The nearest thing to that is a NBC suit, And even then someone has to help you put it on, and any slip in protocol means you have potentially sealed yourself in a petri dish.
Watch how leaders are now suddenly not "pressing the flesh" or entertaining trade groups from Italy etc...
The best line of defence is how you yourself avoid contact with potential carriers, and personal hygiene.
One to think about when collecting your pie & bovril off the snack bar tomorrow night.
Ach... I'm sure all the pie stall lassies etc haven't been in contact with anyone, are all wearing masks, gloves and washing hands everytime they touch someone's money or hands!
Get some hand gel!

Just think of the colours, noise, feeling, smells tomorrow night as we take on the Don's with a chance to get to Hampden...
The play, the controversial decisions, the chances, goals, mad bro hugs fouls, time wasting, spittle rained shouts, coughs, sneezes, hand contact on fittings thousands have touched, piss poor handwashing facilities....
Then read the news!
It ain't rocket science... everyone needs to think carefully about avoiding contact with fittings, people and airborne human discharge.
If you're heading to the game, slip a wee hand gel in your pocket.
There will be people there tomorrow night connected to someone who has been at risk of exposure. It's just a fact of modern day life.

Newcastle United ban handshakes over coronavirus fears
Newcastle United have introduced a training ground handshake ban in an attempt to guard against the spread of the coronavirus.
The club has put a stop to a morning ritual of players and staff shaking hands each morning as fears over the spread of the disease increase.
Head coach Steve Bruce said: "There's a ritual here that everybody shakes hands with everybody as soon as we see each other every morning - we've stopped that on the advice of the doctor.
"Were like everybody else. Thankfully, we've got a superb doctor here and he will keep us informed of what we have to do.
"We're like everybody else, we're glued to the TV for where it's going to go next and let's hope it doesn't get any worse in this country."

Quite right!Aberdeen have 1 stand for Saturday's game and we currently have 3k unsold tickets. That doesn't make for good business.
What have the club done about selling more tickets to home/neutral/lapsed fans?
Any big push or incentive? -

Anyone familiar with six degrees of separation, will think twice before attending an event in close proximity to several thousand people you have no idea who they have been in contact with.

Gales predicted now with rain for Saturday.
They might start it, but will it be played out? -
Yellow wind/rain weather warning issued from midday Saturday till Sunday..!
On top of a lot of rain, sleet, snow showers tomorrow.
The stupid o clock Saturday night televised game curse carries on? -
With the last major off field discussion point settled at least for the forseeable... would it be kind to put the forum out of its misery with a Coup 'De Grace to the forehead?
Outside a matchday thread, is there any debate?
It looks for all the world that three or four posters with multiple aliases get their rocks off calling each other a c**t ad nauseam.
Oh look... here they all are now!
-
They get chauffeur driven.... by Kibble clientsAnd what about those who don’t travel by bus? -
What are embossers so arrogant?
Who are they trying to impress? -
I think they'll be goals. Whilst we are scoring now, we are ever more slightly suspect at the back.Hoping for early goal in this one. Fear a 0 - 0 bore draw and replay up there.
Big feckin pressure on McInnes and his team to get to Hampden.
Could work either way for us, Goody has to get us on the front foot from the off though. -
Time you were showing up in every game Junior!
C'mon let's be 'avin you!
Steady up, breath, use that muscle to turn, push, frustrate the opposition and concentrate on making chances and space first...!
Goals will come, you dont need them to justify you're inclusion. -
Should we dare to dream...?
If the planets align on Saturday night, and we 'Do the Dons'
(Willie Miller... you're a wanker.... you're a wanker) it'll have been a long time since a few on here have been looking at a big semi..?
Will they know what to do with it?
Should they just ignore it, as if things don't progress the disappointment will be an anti climax?
Should they grab it with both hands, and squeeze every last drop of anticipation, excitement, pleasure and pain out of it?
What about going all the way? Inviting a couple of mates to join in? Changing ends at half time?
Should we be packing the box?
Or will some favour anything through the backdoor...?
I know he's got his work cut out, but shouldn't we just leave it in Goody's hands..? -
That Obika's pish.. eh?
f**kin legend! -
Not even four of his five party attending?Div is in semi-retirement.
We could all be in lockdown soon, when Ricky takes over. Nobody will get a word in. -
Ffs Div cant you open up the Smisa/kibble proposal thread and then lock Baz in?

Going to be so cold tonight might make one or two turn blue... again lol.

We know what the virus can do people on the other hand are much more volatile.
Stock markets crashing, world business slowing down etc... it only takes one minor panic and your shopping trip will be a bear fight!
