Not quite simple Mr Ian as there is not currently a vaccine. The same demographic (elderly, previous respiratory problems) are most at risk (Note: I'm not a medic so check this more thoroughly). I agree not a need to panic but it seems sensible avoiding areas with high rates of infection at present. Even until we know more.

[QUOTE=dr_martinov]Italy Ireland is officially called off:
Will that mean that Munster will want to give their Irish players a game against our seconds to keep them match fit?..A bit unfair if they do 😱

The game is called off but all the flights between Italy and Ireland are still going on? If you had paid for a flight and a hotel wouldn't you still travel? Not sure of why cancelling the game is going to stop the virus travelling with these people if they have it?

That’s a very good point which I just had not thought of . Yes of course the Italian fans will travel or most will , for a weekend in Dublin. Yes the concentration of fans will be spread out but it will still mean the virus will be carried. What a dilemma 🤔

In 1972, the Scotland and Wales games due to be played in Dublin were cancelled because of death threats, purportedly from the IRA, against the players of the visiting teams: |

The 2001 Six Nations was affected by the Foot & Mouth outbreak, so Ireland had to play their last 3 fixtures in the autumn - the 6Ns didn't finish until 20th Oct.
