Millenniumram Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 56 days seems a reasonable estimate, but I’m still not convinced we’ll have that amount of time. If we can’t even start training until mid May, I suspect even behind closed doors we won’t be able to play until July. It’ll take a lot of organising to fit it all In.

But it is assumed that matches will be played behind closed doors. A letter sent to all 71 EFL clubs by chairman Rick Parry, and obtained by the BBC, said no training should resume until at least 16 May. The EFL is hopeful the campaign can finish in the summer, but there is no indication when it might begin again. Leeds would have completed it quicker, closed more doors, and started training sooner... and... erm... their summer would have been warmer too!

ram59 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I wonder that if the antibody test gets going, then people who have passed it could be given some kind of passport, which would enable them to have greater access than the rest of the population. Cruel I know, but it would help various businesses to function prior to the vaccine being widely available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the test proves you have had the virus and therefore (hopefully - still unproven but, I understand this seems to be case with similar viruses) you're unlikely to be able to catch it again or pass it on. There IS a point testing anyone not showing symptoms given some will have had the virus and either have no symptoms or had them so mild they may not have associated them with the virus. If you have the test and it is negative for the antibodies then yes, you could catch it tomorrow. I think this is the point of the proposed passport system (before anyone jumps on me, I'm not saying I support the idea or think it will work). To identify people that have had the virus (regardless of the severity of any symptoms they may have had) so that they are relatively safe to be allowed out again.

Unfortunately some people are getting re-infected . Troubling headlines have been cropping up across Asia: Patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 and seemingly recovered have been readmitted to the hospital after testing positive for the virus again.

Troubling headlines have been cropping up across Asia: Patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 and seemingly recovered have been readmitted to the hospital after testing positive for the virus again. South Korean officials announced 111 such cases as of April 12. The stories are true but last time I checked it wasn’t quite as clear cut as that. Again, I’m not saying I agree but, maybe they’re thinking in terms of risk management that if only a very tiny minority get re-infected or whatever, on balance it’s a risk worth taking to get the economies going again and live sort of back to normal. I’m no virologist but, doesn’t vaccination work pretty much the same? People are injected with a very low dose of the disease/virus (plus whatever else they add to the potion) so that “they have had it” and built up antibodies. Having the flu job doesn’t mean you you’re guaranteed not to get flu but it very much reduces the chances. Disclaimer: I may have got all that wrong.

The other thing that worries me with this approach (Not saying its wrong) but a lot of people may want to catch it intentionally to get it out of the way.
