There is no way the season will recommence in April, because there will be far more cases by then and more deaths. The Premier League and EFL have just followed their European counterparts.
I hope this doesnt make the Government veer from its very sensible line so far and start closing schools etc. If football has to stop, then if you follow that logic every single indoor shopping precinct should close etc etc etc.
The bottom line will be the bottom line. When this is all over, we will know if our Government was right to delay more drastic measures or not, by simply comparing statistics (of deaths unfortunately) with other similarly populated countries. People who criticise the government for having one eye on the economy are the same people who would bitterly complain when it goes into free fall, which Irelandās surely will, given their response.
Totally agree. This arbitrary suspension will just feed the hysteria and is against the science which should be leading the decision making process.
Indeed. There was one particular former health professional who was given a platform on Question Time and breakfast TV to spread fear and panic and allowed to undermine the scientists and medical experts who are advising the Government. Not helpful.
