Nicola Sturgeon (Scottish First Minister) making an interesting point this morning. Whilst the current advice they’re receiving from experts suggests stopping mass gatherings will have a minimal effect at the moment, it’s the police and medical resources at these events that are needed that are hard to justify keeping them open whilst the nation becomes stretched.
I think the bit where we're in the ground watching the match is probably only a minor contributor to risk, the rest of it is more serious. The "trapped like sardines" trams, buses, trains and the sheer number of people moving between areas.
Most of us have relatively small territories - work, home, family, friends etc. Football matches mix that up - our close ("2m for 15 minutes etc") contacts go from maybe twenty locals, to hundreds of strangers. Plus, the idea that football matches go ahead, when schools shut etc will just look and feel wrong.
I can't imagine we'll see any more international football (club or national team) this season/summer. I suspect we'll see the PL stop (within a couple of weeks having tried the closed doors thing) and then restart in August or something. All a guess of course.
