Bloody hell........surely could have played it in front of one man and his dog ! Now nothing to watch

[sk1nnym0nkey]

I'm gutted. It is only 10min down the road to me and we had tickets for a free sessions.

Doubtful the worlds will go ahead now which I've also got tickets for

[Cue crafty]

Data *The number of deaths in the world in the first two months of 2020*
2,360 : Corona virus
69,602 : Common cold
140,584 : Malaria
153,696 : Suicide
193,479 : Road accidents
240,950 : HIV loss

And mid way through the third month the death count is 7,525.

[DeanH]

yep, a month or so ago a big leap in infected people, hence big leap of deaths follows.

[Odrl]

The problem is that the number of infected people is rising exponentially at the moment, so I don't think it's a good time to try to downplay the dangers of the virus, or to imply that it can't get any worse than it is right now. It can feel like a distant problem until it really hits you, but we have examples of things escalating quite badly, and that's in spite of way more precautions being taken against it than against any other similar disease.

[DeanH]

numbers will escalate because precautions where not implemented sooner - lack of knowledge at that time, etc.

[peterpackage]

Damm you would have thought behind closed doors it could be contained quite easily

Yippee. More telly snooker on ITV4. June 20th to 26th. Same venue as Championship League and no doubt same or similar rules. Could do with sorting out the system for rests and extensions. The stand fell over a few times lol.
PS. No Ronnie tho. He didn’t qualify.
