Just been announced that Forest owner, Evangelos Marinakis has tested positive for Coronavirus. He was present at Fridays home game with Millwall. Makes you wonder if there will be a surge in Nottingham now. Just think of all those Forest/Panthers fans heading to Belfast this weekend.😳 Yup I'm heading to Belfast this weekend and tbh couldn't give two craps about this virus!! If I get it I get it.. if I don't I don't!! Life goes on

I was merely replying to the incredulous post that the 4,000 people who have died would 'shrug it off' - How can they 'shrug it off' when they're dead?!

All Forest players clear of coronavirus after tests Evangelos Marinakis is also an owner of Nottingham Forest, who have just issued this statement.
"Nottingham Forest can confirm that all players, staff and officers have been tested for the coronavirus and all results have come back negative.
"Within hours of receiving the news that owner Evangelos Marinakis had tested positive for the virus, the club took swift action to arrange tests for the entire first-team players, staff and officers that came into contact with the owner last week.
"The club will remain in close dialogue with the relevant governing bodies and football authorities to ensure the correct measures are taken."

Even though it's an exciting end to the season, it feels that I don't want to get attached to it now for fears that it could end just like that.
I know that you don't want to cancel things too early but the uncertainty of it all is what's getting me.

You mean the league are following advice set out by the experts advising the government. 😱 How dare they take such a sensible approach. I'm sure plenty wont be happy with this, but for me it's the most sensible think anybody can do. Follow the instruction set out by the key experts. Forget what others are doing considering all the variables. The play offs are still up in the air and will continue to be. The trigger could be pulled at any time on large gatherings. For those more anxious amongst us then i'm affraid it's just going to be a case of dealing with the uncertainty the best you can.

Personally, I’m calling it.
Tomorrow they’re announcing a move into the Delay phase. Too late, of course - an acquaintance who works in Whitehall has senior officials talking about an 80% infection rate, and ~6% mortality - which will see Premier League games played behind closed doors. Those are outdoor games. They aren’t even allowing streams of said games to air in pubs to deter congregation.
It seems increasingly likely that Italy are the only honest party so far, and that Covid-19 is either far worse in its symptoms and reach than suggested, or that the pressure on national infrastructure is far heavier than we’ve been told. Economies may well collapse and Sunak’s budget may have been bizarrely generous as pure gesture, in the knowledge that the real blueprint will come as a response to a massive recession because of all this.
POFW, by my guess, has around a 5% chance of going ahead and that’ll be not only if coronavirus somehow peaks and dissipates by then, but that enough administrative structure remains in place to stage them. Keep in mind it’s unlikely our league season will finish.
Then, though obviously trivial in the grand scheme, we’re left wondering how the league goes ahead next season without the POFW revenue to help its operation.
I am not one for melodrama whatsoever, but I do think this is finally something that might be as big as the worst projections have it.
If not then I reckon it’ll be Panthers, Steelers, Devils and Blaze in the semis.
Stay safe!

NHL press conference tomorrow too, looking likely to be suspended.
UK set to change its status too.
I think the EIHL need to look at contingencies quickly to ensure there is even a next season if POFW doesn't happen which is looking extremely likely!
The implications for the league and clubs is going to be huge. Purely speculation but some clubs struggle in this scenario to survive in my opinion.
On a more important note, I have a family member with respiratory problems and this is a very concerning time. I hope everybody treats what is to come over the coming days/weeks/months with the seriousness it deserves.
