UNOFFICIAL NEWPORT COUNTY AFC FORUMS

The people that sell that hand gel are rubbing their hands together.

Amazingly it's less than 200 years ago that medical science first discovered that washing your hands prevents the transmission of bacteria and viruses from one person to another. However in the 3rd book of the Bible (Leviticus), written 3000 years ago, hygiene laws were given to the Jews including washing your hands under running water, washing your clothes and putting people in quarantine for 7 or 14 days. Amazing!

since I've been a hospital porter just over 3 years now every week I've brought two small bottles a week from Aldi now this week I can't get any yet if I buy off eBay it's now 12 quid a bottle that I was buying for 49p

The world's gone mad

No hand shakes between players before game due to virus.I have never thought this was needed anyway,they all shake hands then kick someone on the shin first minute.A pointless PR gesture that should be kicked into touch perminantly.

ALL medicines are going through the roof. Paracetamol has trebled in price over the last three days

i went into a Nursing home yesterday. They have had 2 pallets of hand wash and masks delivered to them. 5 times their normal order

Although not a subject to be laughed at, I was amused to hear on the radio that a supermarket was selling a brand of bottled beer for half price because no-one was buying it. Apparently the brand name is CORONA.

Only 1,800 @ the Dragons last night. That must be the lowest ever attendance at a Dragons match. I'm afraid that the virus effect will carry on into this afternoon's attendance.

I think the very likely low attendance today will be more down to the Newport are crap, the opposition are too and won’t bring many and WALES v england rugby effect than worries about Coronavirus to be honest with you.

Surely that's England v Wales?

When I was a lad the name of pop or lemonade was CORONA.

Remember it well, with it's distinct bubbly tapered neck and money off for the returned empty bottles.

Italy has now quarantined the whole of northern Italy. That is 16 million people. Shows how daft it was to play that rugby match.

Don’t really understand that one. I read it on the news. However, planes are still landing and taking off in the region. Some quarantine?!!

The Italians are reacting to more than 1000 new cases being confirmed on Saturday. The president signed the decree on Sunday morning so it is still work in progress. But the declared intention is to isolate northern Italy with only essential workers moving around. This will be a huge blow to the Italian economy.
