    Outdoor events of more than 500 you say? Macclesfield Town games should be unaffected then.

    I have noticed that many "experts" are advising to cough and sneeze into one's elbow and even the IMRA mentioned this in the above post.

    I do not profess to be any sort of health expert but surely we should be coughing and sneezing into a handkerchief or tissue and using the elbow option only if we are are caught short by a surprise sneeze.

    It would be helpful if the full advice be given but I suspect there is a large proportion of the younger generation who do not even know what a handkerchief is!

    I have visions of people coughing into the elbow and then touching elbows as a greeting. Nice.

    Perhaps we could have a slogan. Left for Sneezing Right for Greeting.
    Visibility good except in Hill Fog

    here's a bit of science about why sneezing into your elbow is better.

    Interesting graphic.
    I think the Government advisors are handling this well and this would suggest so.

    Probably not; no matter what decision they make it will be the wrong one, becasue there is no right one. There is the impossible conflict between the health consequences of social isolation and the health cosequence for that tiny percentage of the population that will be serverly effected by a relativly mild illness.

    I agree, it is an unenviable position to be in.

    I think it is a little strange that we are adopting a different approach to many other countries by not taking stricter measures now such as closing schools etc. This is especially so when these actions appear to be enjoying some success in countries in the far east. But then will the virus come back with a vengeance as soon as these countries relax the measures?

    There is a right farse in Northern Ireland where the Unionist politicans want to take the lead from London, rather than an "island of Ireland approach", while the republic has much harsher measures. I wonder if the virus will respect the 500 Km border?
