There is more chance of kennel or track staff spreading or getting the Virus Going shopping FFS
There are millions in Supermarkets up and down the country daily ...
if the shutdown goes much further than 3 weeks the situation will become Dire for our sport
IS ANYONE FIGHTING OUR CORNER with those running the show ??
HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE AT A CLOSED MEETING ? 30/40 ?
AND A VET ..
Fooking rediculous , 3 months a high percentage of dogs may not ever race again , we can have kennel trial sessions at track KEEP THE DOGS RACE FIT
Regrading attached open dogs an A1 plus race could be run at various tracks ,Non attached summat could be sorted ....
The good Racing will do ,Far outweighs the negative IMVHO

This will need to be planned very carefully case. Very few trainers av gallops and with not many staff. Imo trainers will want at least 3 wks notice to race. I dont know if they will break rules but they should all trial and maybe twice. If trainers dont get advance warning an dogs run of there beds there will be hundreds of them go lame. If trainers can get an advanced warning they can go to schooling track hand slip them first then a couple of trials b4 an official re qualifying trial. If they dont do this the results imo will be catastrophic.

They're racing at Sha Tin
Horse and dog racing still taking place in the States Think they should have continued racing in Ireland, with the stringent measures in place? |

By:
Yeah sure, our corona rates are well below yours, obviously leo got on board a lot earlier than boris with the restrictions. Racing is not an essential health or social care, so your attitude reflects the anti-social idiocy i witnessed at cheltenham, which is why you are seeing so many deaths in the u k now.

my view is that this virus was spreading around the world through movement of people months ago
most people show either no symptoms or mild symptoms cough, high temperature etc months ago hardly anybody had ever heard of coronaviruses now people are being tested for it (sick people in hospitals, also famous people etc) and hey presto they test positive in my opinion what is happening is that the number of cases is expanding day by day as more and more testing is being done not because this is an active pandemic the horse (ie the virus) bolted months ago imo |

been reading public health england stats for UK deaths this year about 11,600, last year about 11,450
no big spike in deaths so we are essentially just seeing a transfer of stated cause of death to covid-19 rather than x,y,z pre-existing medical condition(s) small increase which could be covid-19 and/or could be attributed to other factors also sad though it is, that is a long way off being classed as an active pandemic "coronavirus crisis" in fact if you look at the official UK government website, they state that as of 19th march 2020 they no longer regard covid-19 as a HCID (high consequence infectious disease) rather different to what is being reported in the mainstream media |

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/876005/Weekly_all_cause_mortality_surveillance_week_13_2020_report.pdf UK - In week 12 2020 in England, no statistically significant excess mortality by week of death above the upper 2 z-score threshold was seen overall, by age group or sub nationally (all ages) after correcting ONS disaggregate data for reporting delay with the standardised EuroMOMO algorithm (Figure 1). This data is provisional due to the time delay in registration; numbers may vary from week to week. - In the devolved administrations, no statistically significant excess allcause mortality for all ages was observed for Northern Ireland and Wales in week 12 and for Scotland in week 10 2020 (Table 2). |

|
By:
fine wonders thanks just waiting to have a test to see if i had the virus or just flu looking like another 2 weeks or more
|

By:
not had a bet since dogs finished and to be honest not missed it one bit won't play poker you are big odds against in decent games because of the hardware out there that people have got
|

By:
yes doc was like that 10 years ago when I packed in, will only have got tougher to beat
might be a small window where there's a spike in recreational money in the games but it won't last long |

By:
glad to hear your health has taken an upturn
beware they don't (aren't able to) test specifically for covid-19, they test for presence of any coronavirus (of which there are many) most people will have some trace of a coronavirus in their system so don't be freaked by a positive test |

The UK must ready itself to remain in lockdown for a "significant period" of time as the death toll from the Covid-19 pandemic continues to soar, Michael Gove has warned.
Speaking on Sunday on the BBC's Andrew Marr programme via video link, the Cabinet Office minister said the peak of the coronavirus outbreak is dependent on people’s actions and refused to be drawn on an exact date for the lifting of current restrictions. The Government had previously said it was committed to reviewing the lockdown in three weeks and relaxing it if possible. Meanwhile, the number of people who have died with the virus in the UK has now reached 1,228 - an increase of 209 since Saturday. "Everyone is making a sacrifice and I appreciate the scale of that sacrifice," Mr Gove said. "But the reason all of us are making these sacrifices is because all of us will have people whom we love who are at risk from this virus. "I can’t make an accurate prediction, but everyone does have to prepare for a significant period when these measures are still in place." |

Wonders , totally agree with your findings . I believe the virus was here months before they started testing the infected . The statistics have been wrongly used to show something that does not portray the truth . Mark Twain had the right idea.....

Its a shame that statistics are quite likely to determine policy in this instance.
When did we ever see record numbers of death s recorded in one day for anything ? World war 2 or 9/11. |

Its all designed as a smoke screen.
Actions often speak louder than words or statistics. You can twist statistics how you want. You can believe what you want to believe. I have no faith in politicians because I know they are corrupt. But when people start to dismiss the very obvious.... Like coffins piling up New hospitals being opened up Leaders catching it Being told to stay indoors You cant really argue that this situation is just the same as an above average flu outbreak |

I haven't looked into the rest of the world but for the UK alone...where are the additional deaths that we should be observing if we are experiencing a pandemic?
even the authorities themselves say that death levels are in line with normal levels |
|
By:
Cause of death from coronavirus and dying with the presence of coronavirus are two totally different things yet they seem to be ignored and placed together to provide an increased death rate . There are so many flaws in the analysis . Wonder if the experts would be showing a profit on betfair ?

if UK "covid-19 deaths" are increasing and total UK deaths are broadly flatlining, then that can mean 1 of 2 things:
(1) deaths not attributed to covid-19 are declining (unlikely) or (2) deaths not attributed to covid-19 are broadly flatlining but are being re-allocated to "covid-19 deaths" ie somebody with bad pneumonia dies, is tested for presence of a coronavirus, they test positive, and cause of death is attributed to covid-19 hence the number of deaths hasn't changed despite cases of covid-19 deaths increasing (2) is what is happening imo |
