Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted March 6, 2020 Administrator Share Posted March 6, 2020 It's in football... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51762943 Quote Danish side Brondby have quarantined 13 people, including a player and their assistant coach, after former Denmark international Thomas Kahlenberg was diagnosed with coronavirus. Brondby director of communications Christian Schultz says Kahlenberg contracted the virus in Amsterdam last weekend and was at Brondby's game against Lyngby on Sunday. Defender Joel Kabongo, 21, is in quarantine alongside assistant coach Martin Retov, while Lyngby also have three players in isolation. Schultz told BBC Radio 5 Live that Kabongo met Kahlenberg after the game because they were former team-mates and they "shook hands". Schultz also confirmed that their data analyst, psychologist and nine members of staff, including their chief executive Ole Palma, were in isolation. Lyngby midfielder Martin Ornskov, right-back Kasper Jorgensen and left-back Patrick da Silva are also in 14-day quarantine after meeting Kahlenberg after the game. Schultz said Kahlenberg was "very, very sorry for the commotion he's caused" but he was in "good spirits". He also revealed former Liverpool midfielder and now Ajax assistant coach Christian Poulsen is in quarantine after being with Kahlenberg in Amsterdam. Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf are also reporting that exercise physiologist Alessandro Schoenmaker and one of the Ajax physiotherapists are in quarantine. There have been more than 90,000 cases of the virus in 88 countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran’s got big issues with an incompetent government & has a hard time getting access to testing kits. The US has competence issues with the head of state directly contradicting the CDC and WHO. And I don’t know enough about South Korea to comment, but I’d suspect that the long incubation period means there’s a lot of people infected that don’t know they should be tested. And I assume that’s probably the case everywhere, which means the actual number of cases everywhere is likely higher than the reported number of cases everywhere. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't think we are at huge risk compared to other continents but we did get hit hard by Swine Flu so you never know. First confirmed case in Peru this morning.

Popular Post Kowabunga 313 Posted March 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2020 19 hours ago, Cicero said: Out of curiosity, what are the main differences between influenza and coronavirus? In general, the family of Coronaviruses mutate/evolve slower than influenza. That said SARS-CoV-2 is new, we don't fully know it and we can only assume it is going to behave following that pattern. It seems to be somewhat better at propagating than common influenza (2x?), which is no slouch in that regard. There is no immunity. Vaccines and antivirals do not work with SARS-CoV-2 (if laboratories had kept onto researching on the 2003 SARS virus and produced a vaccine the latter MAY have worked to some extent, but as it was the epidemic was contained investigation stopped, sad). So we've got to wait for a vaccine for quite a bit of time. The death rate is reportedly between 4 and 50 times higher, but we need to take this with a grain of salt as the amount of unreported cases (many of them asymptomatic) may be huge (thus considerably lowering the death rate, possibly one order of magnitude). Hopefully after one, two or three infections, immunity can be acquired passively, and although becoming endemic, the virus may turn to only affect children in a very mild way until they acquire immunity to the virus (and hopefully to similar viruses from the same family). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 If people are bothered about footballers doing a handshake prior to a game of football, what do they think of footballers, sweating, spitting, manhandling each other etc?

I think the lack of a handshake thing is really more just for "public awareness" that there's a very contagious disease spreading. It might seem unnecessary, but I've always been surprised at how many people really are oblivious to a lot of current events. Obviously, in a contact sport there's going to be a lot more chances to spread the virus among players than just shaking hands before the match. I think sooner we're more likely to see players playing in empty stadiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael 1,117 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) There are now 197 deaths in Italy because of Coronavirus. That's the most deaths because of this disease, in any country around the world after China. Italy are really getting it bad. In fact the first cases of this disease in Ukraine, came from Ukrainians who had travelled to Italy. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-51777049 Edited March 7, 2020 by Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
