I personally do not know anyone who has had to isolate themselves because of this condition. Does anyone else know anyone.?
Who are we playing this week?

Barrow - away.

OK - who's turn is it to self-isolate?

Stop it.

Supposedly Barnet away this Tues, their game today is off as they have people self isolating so presume this fixture will also now be off for us? Chaos reigns.....

Is it teams who have nothing to lose who the virus is picking on? It is a coward if it is.

Think it's the teams who don't want to play the champions elect.

5 of today's matches in our league off now.

A full fixture list has come down to just six games being played with Harrogate, Boreham Wood, Wrexham, Barnet, Woking and Chorley all in self-isolation.

This weekend will be the last weekend of games for some time.

National League organisers are looking a bit silly now aren't they.

Why? They have given them a chance to play and not postponed matches when there’s no need to. You don’t see teams calling off games because one of their players has the shits do you

Heres an idea - just thinking of this today. If games are forced to be played behind doors, why don't BT Sport Televise every game (even a single cam for logistic reasons) and fans that would normally pay to attend could pay to watch live. Could create one off log in codes and payments online?

Higher charges for pubs etc.

Each club (home and away) could take a percentage of the revenue to make up for gate losses. That would be 9 pay days for every club. Might not generate as much as a match day but it would be something.

Getting ready to be shot down!

Not a bad idea but with fit young footballers being struck down unlikely games would get played

I think this has been mentioned and it's been said that packing a pub with people to watch a match could spread the virus more quickly.

Weird how most rugby league is being played.
Is it just footballers feeling the symptoms

This is a view from Simon Stone on BBC Sports. A lot of possibly and could be, but it's an attempt to answer some questions:
