Germany are considering options in case the season is scrapped. They are in favour of top 3 go up in each division as the table stands, no relegations, an expanded top tier that gets less each season back to what it is now

I'll buy some of that
Although my take would be current top 2 go straight up playoffs for 3rd held behind closed doors bottom 3 relegated. Any vote open to EFL will not result in a fair decision anything else and the only winners will be the lawyers

My wife had 5 cancellations at her hair salon today, two older ladies scared of the virus news stories, two self isolating as they have colds, one never gave a reason so it’s hitting us already

I risked a haircut yesterday. Hairdresser said his first booking (before me) had cancelled at the last minute because they had just been told to self isolate. Narrow squeak.

Although that makes sense you might find the relegated teams (who, in the case of the Prem, are losing their meal ticket) would go legal. I’m sure that’s why the German approach has been taken.

German football is not dictated to by its member clubs.
For that to happen here, all EFL clubs would have to agree it - as the PL and EFL are 2 separate entities, no chance of the PL agreeing to expand its numbers or relegate teams without season finishing!!

Guy on the radio today said the death rate is 0.2% for under 70s so it’s sounding like over 70 you have no chance. Arteta has said he is starting to feel better already, it’s certainly a virus that hits a certain age group.

I read a Lancet paper from two Italian medics. The average age of those dying is - from memory - about 82 (men 78, women 85) which makes me feel a bit better, as I’m not quite that old. But more worrying is a third of those dying did NOT have any serious health problems.

For the young ‘uns on here, only 2.8% of total deaths were in the 50-59 age group, and hardly any among under 50’s.

I’ve posted a long post on the Cardiff match day thread, a virus expert who was on Look East just now, very knowledgeable and sensible

Ladies and gents, can I also advise that you stockpile your cash as much as you can. Do a budget this weekend and see where you could cut back and also where you could save more money by cancelling unnecessary subscriptions and finally switch mobile plans or utilities.
