Has there been any word from the EFL on potential postponements / behind closed doors yet?
Personally I'd postpone the games. The season finishes early this year anyway, pushing it back a month wouldn't do too much harm.
Wouldn't do any good either. This won't be over in a month. Govt are publicly talking about 2-3 months and that seems optimistic. |

The current advice is that those most at risk of death from the virus are those who are elderly with existing serious underlying problems. That sounds like an excellent description of most Football League clubs.

I get the possibly playing behind closed doors to stop the spread but there's a million ppl a day using the tube apart from other public transport. Italy has stopped all movements bar work and family emergencies. Bit pointless stopping attending football to allow everything else to continue.

Full disclosure, I work at GWH.
This morning all non-clinical staff have been asked if they are prepared to help in a clinical capacity in the event of an outbreak.

Speaking to a colleague who lives in Hemel Hempstead yesterday, they have a fair few cases locally but as probably 80 odd% of the working population cram onto a train in and out of London everyday its inevitable, same for anywhere in the commuter belt. Add to that I know any number of people based up here who are up and down to London weekly without a complete lock down spread is just an inevitability. There are 26 trains a day from Lancaster to London, each holding c.500 people, no way you can reasonably manage that. |

For two matches, so far. And Real Madrid players in quarantine after one of their basketball team tested positive for the virus |

I agree that measures need to take place on a country wide level to prevent the virus spreading, so large events of any kinds being canceled etc From a personal/individual level, i have no intention of changing any of my daily habits, just carrying on as normal. |

When I was a kid there was a building on the Marlborough Road out near Ogbourne, which intrigued me as it seemed in the middle of nowhere... it got knocked down however in the mid 60's. It was the Isolation Hospital, where people with infectious diseases were treated.
I guess it wasn't the only one in the country, but by the mid 60's the contagious diseases had largely been eradicated.... like the Stratton Workhouse it was somewhere I thought I'd like to avoid ending up in.
Perhaps Johnson's pledge of 350 mill a week for the NHS and 40 new hospitals could be spent on a retro Isolation Hospital campaign.
