S.Koreas active cases have been steadily dropping for the past 3 weeks. It's about how vigilant a population and government can be in stopping the spread of the virus.
Whether this can be done in 2.5 months is another question. While I don't think it is likely that we'll have fans in the game but I do think having matches behind closed doors can be possible by then.
That's the sticking point here, the OP mentioned end of April being the beginning of cases dropping in the UK (hypothetically) which would indicate an end to lockdown in June.
I just don't see that happening as much as I'd want it to - and even if it did - the end of the lockdown would signal a slow reintegration for society first - probably in phases, that doesn't mean that professional sports will be given priority - add on to the fact that the players will need a period to get their fitness levels back.
Plus I don't think a lot of people have considered exactly how many people will be impacted by games being played BCD? It's not like 36 players, a couple managers and a referee will just have a kickabout for 2 hours.
Kit men, ground staff, security, medical staff, cleaners, nutritionists, ball boys, media, drivers, hotel workers will all have to be involved - there's probably a lot of others that i'm forgetting too. That's far too many moving parts to try and control in a situation like this, where you're trying to isolate infection rates.
As fun as it is to make the scousers squirm over all this......it's probably not in our interest for the season to be totally voided. If it was we'd end up back in the Europa League AGAIN and I don't think we get Sancho in that scenario either.
As things stand in the league we have every chance of getting 4th place (or 5th if City ban is upheld) and we even have a chance in Europa League if that still goes ahead (doubtful).
I think I'd rather be back in the big time and be able to get Sancho over seeing Liverpool end up with nothing. The fun of watching them miss out won't last that long but a full season in Europa will be a lot lot longer.
Pretty ambitious to think European football will take place next season. But I do agree, I'd prefer to see us in the CL even if it means Liverpool win the league.
