You would have thought so. You have to think why would you wait for thousands of cases to be confirmed before doing this? The whole point is to slow down the rate of the spread so if you are going to do it, the sooner the better.

If it does take a couple of weeks to become symptomatic then likely there is going to be 10x the amount of people walking around with it now - some going to the matches and pubs nearby this weekend who might give it to 5 or more people, who go back to wherever they live in the country infecting whoever they come into contact there. Time is of the essence, it ain't going to get any better here on in.

As David said:

Too sensible that. We have to wait until there's mass casualties.

This government is killing us.

I can see the PL being played for the rest of the season behind closed doors, unless there's an outbreak amongst players or PGMOL - if that happens then the existing positions teams have would count: champions, CL spots, relegation places.

What happens to lower league clubs, as this would put most of them out of business ?

Maybe Dave that will happen, unfortunate but cannot be helped.

As for CL are there any Italian teams left in it?

Also FA cup??

Nearly as good as the VAR Title.
