Are you an armchair epidemiologist?

Yes fully aware of that. If you read my post in context it was replying to people thinking there has been an overreaction. 510k deaths with no action and 200k with mitigation shows just how serious it is. 20k with other measures us still horrendous but that isn't what my original post was addressing.

I'm only linking to what the BBC are reporting. Have you done some pandemic modelling that counters their view?

August 2020 Link and quote is in post #582

The BBC report talks about 510,000 UK deaths as a worst case, measures may keep it to 200,000 deaths

Not remotely to the same numbers in the UK as what they are projecting for this... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51915302

Because when they are in intensive care or die they will test to see if it is the virus or not. That is separate from if they were tested earlier in the illness.

Those two things aren't connected.

Why is it 'common sense' to accept missing out on hundreds of millions of pounds?

Fixing

The Republic of Ireland is a foreign country to the UK. The clue being it is a republic.

Dave probably wants to know what the guess is based on, or if it was plucked out of thin air.

They opened it in January when the season hadn't ended. Player contracts end on 30th June in Europe, plus season long loans end so something will need to change if the 2019/20 season is played beyond that date.

String

They'd face a lot of legal challenges if they relegated teams based on 28 or 29 games.

I doubt the league will resume in April. So everyone won't be going to games, not just the over 70s.

The sponsorship money for the 2019/20 season is not included in accounts for the 2018/19 season.

Toby Steele said the directors are not aware of it, that does not mean Gao is not looking to sell. He may just not have told them.

He did not say that. He said the directors are not aware of it, that does not mean Gao is not looking to sell. He may just not have told them.

The government can cancel it, doesn't require the Premier League to do it and the government won't care about who wins the league, relegation etc. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/51859553

I highlighted in bold which part of your post I was talking about... That is a defeatist attitude of not bothering to do anything.

Interacting with a relatively small number teammates and opponents is very different to walking around concourses and sitting in the stands in close proximity to thousands of people are very different things.

How have you come to that conclusion? The media are talking about behind closed doors games at the moment, not suspending the season.
