Coronavirus and the impact on football

Its a place I'd love to visit as is Russia but I wouldn't because of the oppressiveness you mention.
Were you working or travelling?

I worked and studied in hospitals over there. I'd love to spend some time in Russia. Was planning a trip to Siberia for the solstice before all this kicked off

I was reading how South Korea traced and tracked it from a group of tourists. Absolutely amazing, if every country could gave been as responsive it would have been nipped in the bud.

Apologies, Singapore not S.Korea.

Have you seen Simon Reeves Russia series? Really good and quite an eye opener on Russia.

No mate, I don't have normal TV anymore. I've seen bits of his other series so I'm sure it was off the beaten track, if there is a track in Russia. I have an invite to join the Yakutia tribes in the far north steppes - middle of nowhere. Drinking alcohol made from horses milk to celebrate the solstice. That would be a dream.

Wow that sounds unique!
It's on iplayer if you have that. He stays with a family who look after reindeer. Jesus thats a hard life. Theres some very interesting stuff on there in relation to how people now see Putin. Also the damage theyre doing in terms of deforestation.
Volgograd Is an interesting and very pivotal place too.

South Korea needs to be the one to follow on this.

They have experience on this type of situation.

SARS mers and so on

What they do should be the benchmark

I have a friend there explain and showing what happens there.

Much more organized.

BJ says we can beat this virus in 12 weeks. That will be by 11th June.
Where on Earth has he got that from?

Imagine how bad it's gonna be when it kicks in in Africa.

The Chinese billionaire Jack Ma has reportedly donated thousands of testing kits and face masks to every African country so maybe they are expecting it soon.

From what I've heard the worst hit African countries are Egypt, Morocco and South Africa for whatever reason.

Possibly because they are three of the African countries that have the most foreign (European and Asian) tourists.
