    Therein lies the dilemma, closedown football (and many other sports/industries) this will result in financial hardship, closures, staff redundancies in clubs and associated businesses, at some point, someone in government has to make the hard decision between commerce and health, there will be a tipping point, cost derived.  In a wider sphere, the loss of too many businesses and jobs at some point will economically and morally outweigh some deaths and that will direct decision making.

    Money/power vs health. ?

    The factor that could make the difference, and in some ways link both, is time: stopping the most part of the working activities now to protect more people and return - hopefully - to something similar to normal life soon, or letting things carry on almost unchanged, with the risk of an expansion of the contagion and the following collapse of some of those activities?   Money and commercial relations can be restored (with the aid of governments), even with huge difficulties...but not people's life.

    Big entreprises/businessmen are much influential on the equilibrium of many sections of the economical life and governments, but they're not unbreakable/invincible, so it's time to make some sacrifices and politics should be brave in such a particular situation.

     

    Anyway...let's pray for all the scientists, doctors and all people directly involved in research..because I fear that only a new strong medicine/therapy could definitely blow away this nightmare.

    Honestly I think that taking strict measures to limit the risk of contagion should be the first step of any government, after seeing what happened/is happening in China,Korea and here in Italy: I find highly worrying to read statements like 'let the virus infect people as an experiment' (England), 'let the elections go on' (France)', etc.   

    It's a difficult battle, because health is not the only aspect involved (work,economy, etc.) and there can be errors along the path...but the worst one would be underestimating this virus and don't do enough to fight it: it's clear that every country has its rules and is organised with a different (medical) system, so I don't expect to see exactly the same measures everywhere, but there should be at least some common ground.

     


    Talking about football...if I were UEFA/FIFA I'd cancel the Euros and freeze the leagues/cups for some months, in order to continue them when the virus - hopefully - will be stopped, extending contractual options, etc. Not so easy to do, but IMO it would be the best solution.
