How do we measure it so it's safe to play Football again? Under 10 people dying in England in a day/week, 0?, Until a vaccine is found? Behind closed doors has to be off the table because they cannot use valuable resources in doctors/ambulance at matches while the virus is around.
The FA won't want blood on there hands if they allow football back and the slight chance a player/manager catches and something terrible happens and surely you can't make players keep fit for say until October to play these matches.
While voiding would come with loads of complications and teams/companies sueing it surely the easier option over trying fix this that and everything else.

Let them sue the league's then.
They will have very little support in doing so and it would backfire on them massively.
 
Italian FIGC President says they will definitely award the title to someone this season:

“We’d all be happy to finish the season on the pitch. We’re in contact with FIFA for contract extensions if we need to go beyond June 30.

“We have to find a solution and the ideal one would be to go until July 30. We must comply with regulations and what comes from the highest political and scientific offices.

“If we can’t play, we’d still like to preserve the value of the sporting competition that took place on the field.

“We’re talking about where the Scudetto would go, but it’s for the Federal Council to decide.

“We still have to reach a conclusion for next season’s line-up of teams, from the European competitions to promotions and relegations.”

Why do you need a title winner ?

The biggest spectator event, the Tour De France has got years of title winners missing for various reasons and no one's arsed.
 


neither will the remaining fixtures mate

Quite possibly, leaning to probably at this stage. If you click back through the thread you won't see me suggest at any point they will definitely go ahead.

All I have said is voiding comes with it's complications, as does trying to continue indefinitely. The whole point is no easy answer and when you see the likes of the Barca players refusing to match an agreed paycut while football is suspended it seems legal avenues will be inevitable not matter what route. Continuing, voiding, freezing the table (top 4 is top4, relegation is relegation etc) will all lead to legal disputes
