They might struggle to find a vaccine, if that’s the case then what do we do, will the world stop?
We will continue to stay under lock down until our governmental agencies find a solution which might be a vaccine or some preventative measures via medication. The world has not stopped throughout the coronavirus pandemic and will continue as is.
At some stage the economy is going to go bust, people have to go back to work or we face a situation where looting & purging will become a reality.
People can only go back to work if there are any places of employment remaining to go back to. I prefer an economy going bust rather than having a situation where no preventative or precautionary steps are taken to minimise the effects of a virus that has the potential to kill hundreds of millions if not billions of people but right now it is not clear whether a medical solution will be found before economies of various nations start going bust.
If people are going to go out to loot property then many will argue the police and army of those nations affected should have the right to use force to stop the perpetrators of any illegal activities, arrest them and hopefully present them to a judge in a Court of law.
I think at some stage governments are going to have to weigh up what’s more important, world economies or a minority of older people dying?
Men and women of all ages are dying from coronavirus. By far those that are either elderly or those that have suffered from pre-existing medical conditions have been disproportionately affected thus becoming victims but it is clear the young and healthy are dying too. Either way if world economies ever get together to consider returning to pre-COVID19 days without finding a vaccine or without ensuring immunisation allowing
some of their population to be collateral damage - I hope they decide to extend lock downs around the world if it means lowering the death rate and it means my small sacrifice of staying put inside my home for the forseable future (apart from trips once every 7-10 days to the supermarket) is a small price to pay when looking at the bigger picture.
My solution to play football would be behind closed doors (to begin with) with several ambulances & medics present incase of injury.
I cannot see medically qualified people on the sidelines of a football pitch helping stop the spread of coronavirus between football players during the course of a match. There will be a squad of maybe 20 players from each team, at least 4 match officials, maybe between 8-10 staff from each side including Manager/Coach and their assistants. They will have their own medical teams with them along with their other essential personnel. There will be up to maybe 35-40 people per team so you can say minimum of 80+ football related people in a stadium while the game is going on, add to that the ambulance drivers/paramedics and police. If any one of the people present has coronavirus or catches it and takes it home to their colleagues or family then was that football match worth it?
Yes in your scenario the players will be tested for the virus beforehand but it is clear and it has been stated that people could be carrying it without showing any symptoms. Even if one of those players slips through the net because his tests showing him as coronavirus negative but he gets on the coach with his team-mates to travel to play the football match, then it will be a disaster waiting to happen when hundreds of peope those nearest and dearest to them get affected and they in-turn pass it on to others.
It is not worth it. No football match is.
