I do not think we should so lightly abandon the league and champions league.
On Saturday afternoon I made a first post and a first question on Barcaforum regarding Coronavirus and possible problems in the future.
I am sure that in that moment probably a lot of fans thought: wtf is he talking about?
5 days later, there is a chaos all over Europe and number of infected per day is multiplying by 2-fold each 2 days.
In 5 days, probably EVERYTHING will be cancelled in Europe and we will have 100 000 infected.
If it will continue in upcoming days and if we won't lockdown cities and introduce other drastic measuers, in 10-15 days, we will have 500 000 infected in Europe.
And then, is it easier to stop the disease when you have 10, 50 or 100 infected in your country?
And even if you have 5000?
Than trying to stop it when you have 100 000 infected?
But countries are slow due to money.
In my country, all you can hear is: we will lose a lot of money and tourists won't come to holidays during the summer.
And: we are already in financial problems, we can't close the country.
If you die, you surely won't need fucking turists.
Countries will lose money either way:
1. if they close down everything RIGHT AWAY=less people will die and we will lose a certain amount of money
2. if they will wait for too long, in each country 1000-100 000 people will die, plus we will again have to cancel everything and we will still lose money
There is no happy ending.
The question is only=how long are they willing to wait?
They should take lessons from China, Korea, Taiwan and Singapore.
They are GOATs in preventing diseases compared to Europe and Usa who are totally unprepared and reactive in reactions.
** I ma reading now news: my NT coach is mad because some European clubs don't want to let their players travel to a friendly tournament in Quater next Month.
Lol, idiots.
There won't be football next Month, there won't be a tournament in Quatar.
And there won't be Euros this summer.
Who cares about football?
