Mid season break from 15th March to April 3rd, only 2 fixture weekends missed which could be caught up Tues 21st and 28th April. China's cases are dropping already nearly 3 weeks of 'lockdown' or 'delay' as they say and an even more exciting finish with games thick and fast!
Have you seen what China did to combat COVID-19?
Basically they confined everyone in the affected areas to their homes, and had loudspeakers in the streets constantly blaring that you weren't allowed to go outside!
The British (or American) responses have been nothing like that, and still won't be even after we enter BoJo's 'delay' phase.
The only way this pandemic is over by the beginning of April is if we do go into complete lockdown mode. And that doesn't seem imminent.
And 'Behind Closed Doors' is all very well for this weekend.
But soon, inevitably, a footballer is going to test positive for COVID. And when that happens (as, for example, happened in the NBA yesterday) then it's all over. That player's team would have to go into quarantine, and so would the refs, and the coaches. And because the virus can be present for up to 14 days before symptoms show, so would their recent opponents. And their recent opponents.
Whether or not this weekend's fixtures get played, I'm very doubtful that next weekend's will.
Then it's just a matter of whether the season pushes on into the summer after a couple of
months' hiatus......or they cancel it, and then try to figure out what to do next.
