Cancelling this season's Premier League

As mental as the world is our government don't have the best track record and I'd trust what the Scandi's do over what Boris does.
Check this for a disgraceful social media post from a Liverpool fan. Not going to give the site the publicity it doesn't deserve but this joker is willing to accept a 'a few thousand deaths' just to see their team win a trophy...
"Surely not serious? I don't think I could ever get over the league getting cancelled. We've waited 30 years for this, how can you say you wouldn't be arsed? We're not getting hit by a meteor causing an extinction level event. It'll be a few thousand deaths at most. Around 500,000 die in the UK each year. Let's have some perspective"
Even his fellow reds hammered him over such an insensitive post. Fair play to them.

And it was the guy who started the rs cult, Shankly who said that football was more important than life or death.....no wonder the rs never wanted him hanging round after paisley took over.
History has its eyes on Boris Johnson as its decision time on coronavirus in UK
Limiting the UK to a handful of infections was always unlikely, given the substantial tourism and business travel in and out of our country

Sorry but absolutely zero chance this is true.

Couple of things Ray, firstly if there's more chance of catching it at home, why are people being encouraged to work from home and secondly, children don't live at school (mostly) - they return there after each school day. How on earth can taking a measure that reduces the number of people that children (and the adults that bring them to school or work at the school) have contact with be a worse approach than not doing so? If the desire is to delay and spread over time the peak of this epidemic, how does continuing to allow people pretty much exactly the same opportunities to have contact with people achieve that? The more people mix, the more opportunities to spread the virus.

Ok. Random internet poster V CMO and Chief Scientific fella.
He's talking solely in terms of behavioural science - as in he's thinking if you take measures like that you have to go "wholesale" and basically lockdown, and people will then get "bored" and start ignoring advice.
But the reality is we could do what Ireland are doing - ban indoor events over 100, outdoor events over 500. It doesn't mean lockdown; it just means you don't watch football in a stadium or go a gig for a few months.

Yeah, I know. And they didnt rule that out. Just said that as we are, it makes more sense not to do that. I know nothing more than anyone else, but the scientists seemed to have a credible, and honest, approach to this.
So I am happy, (sic), that there seems to be a plan.
Glad you are mate but the problem is I don't think they have a clue what they're doing.
Which prompts this correct response.

I think they're just planning to unnecessarily kill off thousands of people because they want a unique way of combating this. And I find that horribly irresponsible.
Any idea why British scientists plans don't match up with the vast majority of Europe
Here is a clue FTSE
