This is what can happen when you go on vacation in pandemic times. Sure, you can get it everywhere. But why risking geting it? Why is it so important to travel?

There is no thinking about consequence.
When I keep seeing news about footballers going on holiday during this period, it makes me wonder if we are living in the same world. How the pandemic is handled in Asia and in Europe is so drastically different

But you could ask yourself why are there numerous reports on tv and in the print media of doctors saying they are told by management that any deaths from any respiratory issues should have covid19 as the cause of death even if the person was negative.
I have yet to see one of these 'numerous' reports. Sources buddy.

Exactly, it's a bit surprise to me as well when I heard Maguire was in Greece and even fighting police officers. It's like the pandemic didn't exist at all.

The United trainers said to keep fit over the summer break by cross-training -- which I assume it included MMA training.

I wish people would stop making jokes about this.

Corona is no laughing matter. People actually lost loved ones and many other got screwed financially during covid.
Lost my job, now struggling.

Yeah, this matter is not for jokes.

Oh man, was hoping he could have a good rest this summer and finally start a season unhampered by any niggles/injuries/playing through the summer :(.

If he’s lucky he might get exactly that. There’s a good chance he’s asymptomatic since footballers will be tested a lot, symptoms or not.
Let’s cross our fingers that’s the case.

I’ve seen people everywhere STILL underestimating Covid, even after months of lockdown and ruining the job market, and basically changing our way of life.
Absolutely incredible people thinking that doctors are just arbitrarily claiming that people are dying of Covid and we will “never know the real numbers”, yes chances are Pogba will be fine thankfully, but surely this thread is just to wish him well and not share stupid conspiracies, only on the cafe can a thread like this turn into a dumpster fire.

Pogba getting SARS Cov-2 and Maguire getting arrested, just a ploy by United to make sure they get prolonged rest before the new season :lol:

Hope Paul recovers soon. He is most probably asymptomatic. All the best to his family too.

People are still overestimating it too in fairness.

As I say, 99.9% of people in Pogba’s age group with good fitness and no health issues will have a bit of cold and high fever.

There’s a middle ground. It’s dangerous as feck for people with health issues or obesity and the aged if allowed to run through society unchecked. For a very very very tiny minority of healthy younger people can it be an issue.

I don’t think many people are saying they expect Pogba to die though, unless I’m mistaken (to be fair I haven’t read every post here). Obviously it’s highly likely that he will get well and people are just wishing him well.

I absolutely get your point though.

Cause it is a United forum and people care more about Pogba than Aurier and Chelsea players?

Yeah. What of of question was that? As if we're supposed to care about Tottenham and Chelsea players as much as our own. Of course Pogba gets a thread, this is a United forum after all. :lol:

Well said. Over 60,000 excess deaths and some people reporting ongoing symptoms, months afterwards.

And get well soon, Paul, best wishes to you and your wife for your next child - may s/he bring you both much joy into your lives.
