I’m sorry  , I didn’t realise that being responsible for spreading serious viruses that can kill vulnerable people was ridiculous. I apologise for thinking that reckless behaviour by possible carriers is partly their fault if their actions lead to somebody’s death.

You may have unwittingly spread the flu virus before. You may be aware that people die from flu. Does that make you responsible for their deaths?

If you're on the motorway and someone dies in a crash, your vehicle may have leaked oil which caused a car to skid. Are you responsible for their death?

If yo drive a car, are you responsible for people's breathing problems due to exhaust fumes? (Check the stats on people suffering respiratory issues).

I assume you spend all day at home in a darkened room, for fear that ANY actions might cause death or disaster.

Never has the term 'keep calm and carry on!' feel so relevant to me.

The chief scientific advisor to the government said potentially 500000 could die if the mortality rate is the same.

These are generally include the same people that would be knocked over by the flu, pneumonia other viruses etc... so statistically it is probably not another 500000 new people predicted to die.

Very sad, but these are the most vulnerable in society.

 The word unwittingly is the important one in your post . Would you hold me partly or wholly responsible if I had been to an area that was a virus hot spot where i knew I hadn’t taken any precautions, then felt ill on my return but not ill  enough to stop me sitting next to you at the Stoop. All this knowing fully that there is an outbreak occurring. You then have the virus and pass it on yourself...........

If you had not bothered to maintain your car properly and your negligence led to the oil leak then yes you would .
I assume you spend all day at home in a darkened room, for fear that ANY actions might cause death or disaster.

Quite the opposite, I spend all day out in the open trying not to hurt or infect anybody . Isn’t it obvious that I don’t spend all day in a darkened room as if I did I would know how to post the quoty bits properly.

Ony "trying" not to hurt anybody? So you could be responsible for hundreds or thousands of deaths.

Meanwhile, back to the original subject:

England vs Italy postponed

Given that the seedings for the next RWC are to be done this summer, that's going to skew them in favour of the teams that have played Italy already.

Do you score that many points against teams that far below you? I was under the impression - could well be wrong - that teams scored considerably more points against teams higher up the table than them, so presumably, most teams in 6 N won't gain (or fail to gain) that many points?

You can score some points, particularly when it's an away game (as the England game is).

We're comfortably 3rd in the rankings. I suppose France may have a chance to make some ground but if we beat Wales we should be ok.

I've never really understood why the rankings need to be decided this far out from the next tournament anyway!
