I work as a forklift driver in Aldi Warehouse and we have been told no matter what happens we are needed to supply the country with what it needs,

If you look at Italy, food outlets and pharmacies  to stay open only - supply chain will need to work still though

If the government close schools to try and stop any spread then it needs to be a full closure, not just remote working for teachers and students else its pointless.

I mean if you want to slow the spread down and that is your highest importance, then closing schools will be good, as it will force parents to stay at home with kids and thus not get as many opportunities to get the virus.

I suppose the economy would be stuffed if that situation, but its hard to see any situation that the economy is not severe hit for the next 6 months or so.

Would like to know what the fa plan to do to help smaller clubs because more than a couple of games behind closed doors and they'll start struggling.If it goes on for a few months half the clubs in the UK will fold...

Unfortunately if this does spread widely, players will get infected and that will curtail that idea right off the bat.

In my eyes its too soon to sort anything out as we are approaching GCSE's its imperative that students/teachers are in a position to work remotely which will take time to set up.

I don't know though, the Dfe / PHE have not issued any statements, I would think we will hear tomorrow.

I'm meant to be going to Norwich a week today.  Looking increasingly "touch and go" from the current evidence!

The FA are loaded they could easily cover the losses of every team below the premier league, they wont though as they are scumbags

Next Friday (20th). I don't know the reasoning, my best guess is to give time for all the wheels to turn and to allow parents opportunities to sort things out. If things go rapidly out of hand then it may get pulled forward I'd guess.

im not really on a bout the fans   Example is Villa  they are fighting for survival    they have to play us  Chelsea  Man united  and Arsenal  all at home    now those games are very difficult   the only way to really get anything from those games  is home advantage  the crowd.  now the games are behind closed doors  that advatage is gone   the same advantage  that the 4 teams just mentioned had early in the season.

A guy on Twitter who is ITK with the government:

"Cobra meeting tomorrow and you should start to see some changes not long after. New laws being put to the house next week in preparation for the next stages as there will be some serious social disruption and we need our house in order to protect businesses and the public."

Its not an ideal situation at all, but its probably the most realistic way of getting the season done. None of the solutions are any good however...
