My current gut feeling is that the Premier League will, somehow, return and EFL will not.

Germany's attempts to re-start will probably be harmed by the fact that three Cologne players have tested positive with no symptoms.

Think you're right, although I'd add the caveat that I think the PL will return, they'll quickly find that it's impossible to isolate/quarantine players/teams who have tested positive and still fulfill fixtures and they'll be back to the drawing board inside the 1st couple of weeks.

Has anything been said about how replacing Bury will be handled if all the 19/20 results are voided?

Apologies if already covered, but surely one club (Crewe or Swindon presumably) would go up to Div 1 and one club from the National League (presumably Barrow) would go up to Div 2.

So the prem teams are open to Neutral venues if no relegation. Which basically screws everyone else. I do hope some of the wankers do go bust if that does happen.

But the team's in the relegation zone seemingly don't like that idea unless it's no relegation, a few of them I believe have to play the top 6, its like turkeys voting for Christmas, if they can come up with a way of keeping themselves on the gravy train then they will.

With only 6 needing to vote against anything put to them then you would not bet against them getting their way, but that then opens the door on what they do about promotion from the championship as surely they wont want to add 3 extra teams and add more games, the poor loves already play too many games.

The FA  / PL should make the decision and the club made to abide by the decision.

The Premier League's decision making mechanism is by a vote of the clubs.

The group who want no relegation have conveniently overlooked the fact that if the jeopardy of relegation is removed there are a large number of “dead rubbers” in the remaining games (basically any game not involving a team contending for a European place). Do they seriously think that (for example) Bournemouth v West Ham or Aston Villa v Brighton (I haven’t checked if these are actually still to play but they illustrate my point) will be remotely interesting to anyone if there is no relegation?
If they agree this the TV companies will want their contracts reduced because the PL has acted in a way which reduces the interest in those games.
Self interest has blinded them to common sense.
