Its way down the list, so lets just put football in the freezer until its ready to go again in full, safely. No need to Null and Void or 'as it stands' when we can just wait until the day this clears.

High profile leagues such as ours are going to have to confront their denialism.

Current estimates put the percentage of victims who will need hospitalisation at 7% of total infections. No EPL/EFL club is going to risk any trouble with the insurance companies by playing Russian roulette with their multi-million £ talent. Even after things start settling down and society finds a way of living with the illness.

I'm sure there's a case to be made for soldiering on behind closed doors. Just like they're doing in less glamorous leagues like Burundi and Nicaragua. But it would only take a couple of infections before the club bosses would be financially obligated to shut everything down again.

I don't think anyone is ready to entertain the thought of herd immunity when it comes to players and staff who are worth billions.
