No, but now there are only deaths from Covid that are the focus. There are generally 12 deaths in the UK per week from flu across the winter period - again, mainly affecting the older population. Italy had something like 20,000 deaths from flu in 2017, again with mainly the elderly being the unfortunate ones - and that's with a vaccination. 

It is serious, as the Spanish Flu was in 1918 (when it killed, what, 50-million people?!). 

But the economic effects have to be considered too. I don't know if our walk-up crowd is that significant - but the knock-on effect to the crowd - to St. Johns Ambulance, to the food vendors, to traders, to the security staff, to bar-staff, to food suppliers etc. etc. If you take money out of the economy, and the multiplier effect that every pound has, that stalling has a massive effect regionally. 

The reality is everything can't ground to a halt or the damage and consequences - to the club and to it's partners, employees etc. are gigantic. That effects our plans for next year, our ability to recruit, to retain - everything the club does is based on revenue and income. That dries up and then it's Pandoras box time.

If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose.

The pro 12 is done stick a fork in it, the European games maybe moved to next season the league games won't
 
No way we are going to be playing cross border competitions in this current situation.
 
The only rugby we may get is domestic games and that is if we are lucky

A Welsh Regional Round Robin might be a good shout if we aren't banned from attending.

Could the game be moved to Llanelli?

More people had it so that means more deaths.

People need to get a grip. Comparing COVID-19 death to deaths from Cancer or Heart Disease is BS. You can't catch Cancer or Heart Disease from standing next to someone in a crowd at a stadium watching Rugby.

Nuff said folks?

He’s talking about the public in general.

The IRFU have suspended all rugby in Ireland that is at Mini, schools and club level from 6pm to night until 29/ 03. This will not have been taken lightly as will impact heavily on a large number of cup competitions including the Provincial Schools cup competitions which are big events herein Ireland. This ban includes trading etc.

There is no way that the games can be played out now.
 
I would think the logical solution would be to take the tables as they stand for European qualification for next season, and perhaps have the play offs if they can be fitted in?
 
I suspect that the regulators wont consider starting up again until the end of April at the earliest.
 
Anyway, peoples health and safety is paramount.

Frustrating news but a necessary action in light of the situation. As many have already said I worry about the loss of revenue to all the clubs and everything that's related to match days such as pubs, merchandise, stewards, and the like. I don't know how the league can pick up whenever it's declared safe to restart. Let's hope the virus burns itself out quickly and that there is minimal loss of life and we can all get back to normal as soon as we can.
