Re: Coronavirus - Elderly should avoid LARGE Crowds
16It's more the players that are at risk than the spectators. If I was Dragons player I wouldn't want to play in this game.
Not sure I would entirely agree with that. Understand that players will be in close contact with each other, and indeed even bodily fluids can exchanged, but I'm led to believe that the players and staff have been tested. This certainly cannot be said of any of there supporters. Although are there are restrictions in place for potential supporters movements into this country?G Guest wrote:It's more the players that are at risk than the spectators.

Probably only a small risk Paul but a risk nevertheless coming from a region with many infected.Frank Nouble 3 wrote:Sorry Geoff.G Guest wrote:I think that it is very unwise for the Dragons to play Benetton Treviso on Friday. Treviso is near Venice in the infected area of northern Italy. Anyone coming from there could be infected without knowing it and pass it on in Wales.
More off your original thread.
Looking forward to Fridays game.
Myself and Mrs Nouble have kindly accepted some fine hospitality but if powers to be call it off so be.
Where do you draw the line.
Cancel everything.
Sure sense will prevail.
Medics know best.
Thanks for the stats. I am very interested in factual information on this issue and reading your previous posts I know you have some expertise in this area.lowandhard wrote:Some people are saying that this scare is much ado about nothing but some aspects make coronavirus a bit different. It appears to be twice as transmissible as ‘flu and ten times as lethal. So as ‘flu causes death in 0.1% of the population then it should be expected that approx 2% would die from covid19. For old sods like me with every risk factor under the sun, then we’d better keep our heads down for a bit. I think Phil in Northampton made a sensible call.

Is washing our hands going to have a major effect upon the transmission of this virus? It can also be transmitted via faeces and urine apparently. There is a long way to go before we get to all the facts on this one.
According to a professor of virology soap and water works by removing the oily outer layer of the virus. The virus is then de-activated. Obviously you have to wash your hands before the virus gets into your mouth, nose or eyes.neilcork68 wrote:pembsexile wrote:Another question about the virus.

unless you wash your hands with at least 60% alcohol hand wash it wont kill the virus,,Soap and water wont kill it. It will help but dont think yoy are 100% safe by doing so
otherwise , wash your hands in soap and water, drink 1 litre of 18% alcohol and your too pissed to care
try getting hold of masks and hand washes too....Very low stocks everywhere
Also it's the effect of the running water that gets rid of the bacteria and viruses. Read Leviticus in the bible. God told the Jews about hygiene long before medical science caught up. Not long ago doctors were going from one patient to the next without washing their hands.Blackandamber wrote:According to a professor of virology soap and water works by removing the oily outer layer of the virus.
