Considering the large amount of Asian fans of lfc,who may have family who have travelled from the infected areas. The probability of infection at analfield is high due to a large amount of spitting and foaming at the mouth.

How do you stop Klopp from doing that though?
 
Not sure if this is the right thread, but this YouTube documentary on the Spanish Flu. *spoiler* It started in the USA, shows how quickly things go wrong if procedures are ignored. Really interesting and well done. Feel free to move or delete please mods.

 
Look nobody has mathematically won the league yet so that's can be no complaints if it's cancelled.. it would be unfair to keep games going and risk large gatherings and possibly infect thousands with a deadly virus.

We should nominate 3 forum members to go to an infected area and brign it back to liverpool . City will be shut down. The rs wont be allowed play any more games and season declare void.
Everyone wins bar those in infected .
Might be a job for Frank!

For the greater good I will volunteer.. but if I die I want my headstone to read "the man who saved football".
 
Interesting to hear Klopp refer to their "biomedical department" - wonder what goes on there...

According the Daily Telegraph, there is no Premier League legislation in place relating to the season being curtailed and crisis talks would ensue were the Government to intervene and cancel all sporting events in the country for up to two months.

Denying Liverpool the title would undoubtedly cause major uproar but the Premier League would face a difficult decision were they to declare the Reds as champions and, at the same time, relegate the three teams currently in the drop zone.

Newcastle United have already banned shaking hands between players and staff at their training ground, while Tottenham screened journalists before Jose Mourinho’s pre-match press conference on Friday.

Asked, meanwhile, if Liverpool were planning to change their pre-season schedule given they are planning a summer trip to Asia, Klopp told reporters: ‘Not yet, over pre-season we’ve not thought of changes yet. The biomedical department, all advice we get from there.

‘But if you [the media] come in here and don’t shake hands, I’m now only two metres away from you, so whatever you have I probably can’t avoid getting it as well. We had an interview outside and were even closer.
