Premier League 2019-20 part II

[YNWA14]

You're the silly one here if you thought the economy just goes up forever without a correction.

Nobody thinks the economy just goes up forever, but there's a big difference between a correction and a total collapse. The same people telling others they don't understand how this virus is affecting people (again, a small percentage of the population) don't seem to really see what could potentially happen to society if we were to implement the measures being suggested.

People can still try to find jobs if they lose them and governments can still try to implement policies to relieve people from economic strain.

It really is that simple. Lose your job or business? That's fine, get another one. Surely, the government is going to take care of us.

Better than telling seniors or people with something like asthma that we will just let them die.

And I'm well aware of the dangers of letting the government implement draconian measures to get this contained. It's our job as citizens of our country to not let them keep those measures after this situation is resolved.

 

[Havre]

Funny fact. We do let people die every day - before COVID-19. And we will every day after. Not sure why COVID-19 should be treated any differently.

 

[Live in the Now]

Because our hospitals aren’t equipped to face this many critically ill people, many of whom would not die if treated.

Said every dictatorship in the world at a time...

Because our hospitals aren’t equipped to face this many critically ill people, many of whom would not die if treated.

Pretty much, there is a strong deviation score that more people die when hospitals are overrun and why Lombardy has been faced with what it has the past week.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Like WW2, we could pivot and shift industry to fulfill supply shortfalls. Federal contracts for masks, gloves, ventilators, makeshift hospital conversions, etc etc. A full stimulus package of that.

Which would save lives and boost economic output (though nowhere near what it was),

Lol imagine that? Anyway by Wednesday this week we'll be back to "FAKE NEWS! THIS IS THE NEW COUP!" The cheerleading squad is already laying the groudnwork today. Tonight will be hours of Fox "well actually the doctors should stay in their lane and treat people! Don't let those socialists tell us not to do the economy!"

Unfortunately for us, more than the weak, this virus feeds on the dumb.

Premier League players ready to revolt over behind-closed-doors plans

 

[Havre]

Not surprised. Still can't get my head around how it would actually work.

This is awesome to see, I appreciate all of the financial support athletes have given to people in need; cool to see them give back in ways that help the mental and social struggles going on as well!

[YNWA14]

I think people would welcome the distraction from home. I certainly would.

So they can soon field at least a starting XI who have recovered from the virus and have immunity, thus they can safely complete the season.

 

[SSF]

We get it, LFC fans want the season completed at all costs, pandemic be damned. Really poor, selfish showing.

Yeah, that's easy to say when your team is 30+ points behind. You put any team in Liverpool's situation and a big, loud part of the fanbase would be pissed. I'm not saying football means that much to everyone, but to a lot of people it does.

This is bigger than sport.

 

[Prntscrn]

This is bigger than sport.

That's why we're currently not playing. Doesn't mean people are willing to drop everything else they care for completely.

 

[phisherman]

There's nothing to suggest that anyone who had it is immune to it after.

 

[gary69]

There's nothing to suggest that anyone who had it is immune to it after.

If that would be the case, then no vaccine could be developed ever, either.

It might end up being so, since there are no vaccines for other notorious viruses like HI or Sars. Though, the Chinese tests (with monkeys/chimpanzees) show an immunity for 4 months so far (Nov - March), and counting. Usually immunity for Coronavirus is 3-4 years until it mutates too much, maybe it's the same this time around.

 

[YNWA14]

Yep that’s it. You caught em.

 

[Havre]

Yes. One should never question the intention of Liverpool-fans - just any other fan that suggest or want to discuss any other solution than finishing the season. Obviously got nothing to do with double standards.

Equally obvious the Liverpool-fans on here will quickly point out that I am a Spursfan and it is because of that I write these things (even if I have clearly stated I think it obviously would be fairest if Liverpool got the chance to win the title one way or another).

All good fun.

 

[YNWA14]

Or we’ve already said many times we don’t care if the season is finished. But yes it’s Liverpool fans against the world (or at least that’s what most here would love to have as the narrative).

 

[hatterson]

I don’t care if the season is officially finished or not, but Liverpool won the title this year and that should be reflected in the official record books regardless of how the remainder of the season unfolds.
