For those who are regular attendees, has the coronavirus outbreak made you reconsider your plans of attending matches this year?

What are people anticipating crowd wise in round 1? Will it be business as usual or do you see a significant decline in crowd numbers?

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

No wuckas. Scomo's got that shit covered

 

[jatz14]

If it goes bad, then it will absolutely have an impact (its going to go bad).

In my job in WA I get to see the daily Sitrep reports on caronavirus. It is now infecting more people out of China than it is in China. If it starts spreading widely in Australian cities, which seems pretty inevitable, then it will impact crowds without doubt.

Genetic testing is now suggesting that caronavirus has been spreading within the US for as long as a month without anybody being aware. So this genie has well and truly escaped the bottle, and there is no putting it back.

 

[Gavin Excell]

The younger generation say Ok Boomer to so many Gen Xers. It’s just not very precise is it?

I think they lump in anyone over 40+ as the same

just the economic hardships brought about by the virus is going to affect attendances.

Who knows how the government is going to act when it spreads. there might not be a match to attend to in the first place. it doesn't take much for people to stay away if they fear(rightly or wrongly) their life.

Pretty sure there is no mass sport going on in Wuhan

 

[Proper Gander]

I get the concern but I’ve just recovered from flu, which sucked, but of a non-Coronavirus brand. I’m over it. I’ll be conducting myself as per usual. But I understand people’s concerns.

pretty sure nothing is going on in Wuhan. No j-league in Japan. Italy soccer matches have either been cancelled matches or played among closed doors. the Swiss have banned any gathering over 1,000 people. No Moto GP round in Qatar or Thailand.

the next months as a sports fan(or any event with a large number of people) is going to really suck if governments and sports governing bodies keep canceling events. which sucks cause if/when I get it, the thing I want to do is watch sport on the tellie in bed.

 

[Astro_]

Im due to head to Thailand at the end of this month for a 3 week trip. Going to now change the date which sucks. Given I will mow be in Melbourne I will spending my weekends attending the games

 

[Sab22]

I'll buy the ticket and watch at home

 

[Run n Spread]

Yes. If games are delayed or I somehow catch it decision is made for me. But I'm not staying home unless it is forced upon me.

 

[Monkey King]

Love it, people who read a few articles arguing with people who read a few different articles and both acting like experts. Hilarious.

I'm hoping the virus can be quite selective in who it hits hardest

Love it when people who have zero idea of the background of others make assumptions about the source of their knowledge.

That you actually hope this virus hits anyone hard should signal to you that you’re a bit of a sick puppy.

So am I. They are entitled to think anyone over 40 is an idiot given the mess they’re left with. We should all get ****ed

 

[FRUMPY]

More incorrect information. Young and healthy with no pre-existing conditions have died.

Callow.
Indeed.

Oh yes, because "I spoke with a random doctor yesterday" is much better than an actual video with a qualified doctor explaining this stuff.

Lol whut?

 

[Franc de Borges]

I have to sit with a bunch of Richmond ferals in Round 1 so coronavirus is the least of my concerns.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Wouldn’t stop me going, but it’s probably inevitable that if it keeps spreading, games will be postponed or played behind closed doors which will suck.

 

[citizen-erased]

id have no qualms going to northern italy right now.
the footy isn't going to bother me.

 

[seanoff]

Given the deaths are mostly elderly with significant comorbities I wouldn’t have a problem. The covid19 has a reported death rate of 2%. But how many cases have been missed because people are either minor symptoms or are asymptomattic. The rate is likely to fall, possibly to the same as the flu. Does the flu stop anyone?

 

[HardcoreGeelongFan]

WOW, 82,000 people out of 7,767,084,002 at last count are infected. Talk about unlucky, i think i'll take my chances i will run into the 7,767,002,002 that are not infected.

Nothing like a minor pandemic to get the world in a panic.

12 million people in Wuhan and 2 months later only 80 000 infected. That's not even 1% of Wuhans population.

Doesn't change the fact it doesn't need to spread. I've never traveled overseas once in my life. Imagine how I feel about all these careless pricks bringing it here. Then one of them seeing 40 people over 15 minute face to face appointments lol. She may as well be the virus

How cute, believing that's the actual figure.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Yes.

 

[HardcoreGeelongFan]

I'm relying on micro evolution to save me. Like with SARS it's only the east Asian areas that will get hammered. UK US AND AUS/NZ = always sweet. Just with residents of machu picchu have evolved a higher lung capacity over the years (because the air is thinner) I suspect there will be micro-evolutionary differences in us not eating bats, monkeys and civet cat feaces for the last few thousand years. Maybe that's why people in the East Asian region have x5 ACE2 expression than other groups.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Wow. This is a really dumb post. Can’t be arsed correcting you on all of your simplifications and lack of facts. You’re grown up enough to work it out if you can be bothered ...

It's because i don't care, all you nervous nellies can stay cooped up in your air tight houses shitting your pants you don't get the sniffles and not interact with anyone ever again while I'm going to enjoy living my life.
