You probably won't see any Football for at least 6 months, maybe a year

[RaySmith]

Someone made a good point today on 5Live about the effects on those with mental health problems of no football -
a lot of people rely on it to help keep them going.

Maybe the suicide rate will go up, negating to some extent  the potential lives saved by closing things down.

Sometimes you need to look at the bigger picture.
How will the vulnerable cope if the economy tanks?

Anybody who thinks that we are getting back to normal without a vaccine could well be deluded.

Except the main way of dealing with this sort of breakout is to get enough people to build up natural immunity to the virus so it lessons the transmission rate and means that cases become much more isolated as the population naturally develops resistance to it, which is exactly what the chief medical officer has alluded to

Don't disagree with you Deeping.

I agree here, I think most of us will catch it in its various degrees of severity and thereby become immune long before a vaccine is available.

Will not be a good time for the Bookies...

With no sports to bet on for at least few months at least how will they keep going ?

I'll wager the bookies will find a way to make money.
