    I would guess all spectator sports will be go closed doors or be cancelled imminently and not return to any normality before the end of May, by which time the virus is likely to have past its peak and herd immunity will sufficient that future spread is slow enough to return to normal. There will be much disruption and grief between now and then. I don't see how any business/institution can continue to open if it can't ensure safety of customers/patrons.

    3 Leicester City players now in self-isolation and this follows the postponement of the Man City v Arsenal game. No doubt Leicester City's last opponents are now considering their options, as will Arsenal's opponents since their Europa League tie. This will snowball.

    It's in everyone's best interest to avoid big gatherings, that simple really.

    I definitely wouldn't be plane hopping like @PlatinumChaosX@PlatinumChaosX o_O

    It's not simple at all. Plane hopping for many of us carries a far lower risk than our occupations.

    With the possibility of our season finishing early I hope our brave lads don't now take it easy and stop trying so hard...

    If it gets confirmed that the Euros get delayed a year (England must be hoping so with all the strikers being injured) that will certainly make things easier. If it’s not though how do you fit it in especially as we have a winter World Cup coming up that’s going to disrupt that season anyway.

    Probably empty (like the soap containers).

    Not the point I was making. Avoiding unnecessary public gatherings (like the football) should be a no brainer, nevermind hopping planes from country to country to do so.

    Does that mean Liverpool would STILL not win the Premier League?

    Yep. It makes United not getting CL football and taking a hit in the sponsorship money worth it for me :) (As I suspect 5th won’t be enough as this is likely to delay City’s appeal as they won’t be able to attend any CAS hearing anytime soon)

    But it's grandparents that will be looking after the kids while they're off.

    So it makes no sense

    I'm not saying parents or a parent don't look after kids but many work and the grand parents/parent play an active part

    Keepinf schools open is the right thing to do.

    But they aren’t mathematically certain. You can’t award a title to someone when they haven’t won it yet as it devalues the competition. Their fans don’t have a problem claiming they won the league on moral grounds as they did in 2014 so they can still tell themselves they won it.

    There are also a lot of single parents who have no support system and rely on school to look after their kids so they can work so they can feed and cloth them. Also schools in poor family’s play a vital role in ensuring kids don’t go hungry which would now be lost.

    Also while I know kids these days are more likely to stay indoors than in the past are you really going to keep most kids in their own home away from other kids if they are off school. They are going to mix with friends so if they were going to get it they will get it no matter if they are at school or at home
