Money, money, money, money, money.

And the other reason is money.

Its farcical. Football is not subject to different rules from anyone else.

You're in for a shock that when you watch News at Ten. You'll find that the economic system revolves around the profit system and that from Madrid, to Paris to Berlin, Europe is planning how to come out of lockdown.
 
Prof Jonathan Van-Tam told the daily Downing Street briefing that "we just haven't had this disease around on the planet in humans for long enough" to know whether those who had recovered were immune

This is interesting and another thing we discover about this virus that is new to us and atypical for corona viruses

Doctors treating coronavirus patients have noticed a strange phenomenon among some sufferers dubbed "happy hypoxia" - and have warned the condition could be deadly

I am not interested in whether the Premier League returns or not.

More or less every government across Europe including the UK has advanced plans to lift their lockdowns. Football is part of that and it's low risk in regards to us. It's a small group who wont be packing the tube or train, and whose conduct is completely irrelevant to R0.

They are like anyone who goes to work,perfectly capable to catch it and take it home,as I say it is much more than just the players,10 cases since German teams started training already,everyone has to isolate ,they are every bit as capable as any other human being

Will football be utilising Social Distancing to safeguard it's frontline staff?

Where possible, otherwise it will protect the players and staff with constant testing. A 20 minute saliva test is due out soon, once that is available and produced en masse then they can test them every hour if they wish.

22 fully tested players is less risk that a supermarket where 1,000 untested people could realistically pass through in a day handling all sorts of stuff.

Put it into perspective, it's a very low risk and regardless of this will only go ahead when the scientists and government say it's safe. Once they do the debate is over.

But who have they been in contact with post test
Family,friends, club staff, other players
Who says they haven’t got it when they take to the pitch

Well the number of younger people with no underlying issues that have been dying has increased a lot,frontline staff who are fit and working are getting seriously ill as well and yet some don't want to believe it

What are the figs for young with no underlying issues who have died?
 
This is the third coronavirus (SARS, MERS) in 10 years that has jumped into the human population. Are they particularly prone to jumping species? Can we predict and prepare for the next?

This is how the app works,it is not Google or apple,we have gone our own way again

This is the bit i think people will have problems with

You will also be invited to upload a list of your contacts to the NHS system, which will use a risk-scoring algorithm to decide which contacts are potentially dangerous

For clarification that is people you have had physical contact with not your phone contacts

Found march figures 9% had no underlying health issues that month,it might have ages in this somewhere but it is a bit long,most days the figures are reported in terms of how many deaths and how many had no underlying problems,so that is where I get the numbers from,they give ages but I haven't kept a running total,have to dig further for exact ages

I think I read that right someone check it for me

Of the deaths involving COVID-19 that occurred in March 2020, there was at least one pre-existing condition in 91% of cases

I think that is becoming less of an issue maybe and has to be balanced by the well being watching football again may have on peoples general mood and sanity. Summer football may have a huge feel good factor that does more good than bad. I am fairly ambivalent to it either way but I am certainly not totally against seeing it come back if it can be done. Certainly not for the matter of Liverpool winning it. That it neither here nor there to me in the scheme of things.

Yeah 1/2 million people outside Anfield celebrating, should be fun.
