How much will Coronavirus (COVID-19) impact Aston Villa's season?

So in UK I read it as matches would be go behind closed doors- no fans attending -rather than totally cancelled as the broadcasting TV would still want to show .
Some postponement but like the European comps playing behind closed doors.
The talk too of give subsidence to the lower league to cover costs in the loss of match attending fees.

One player from each team to play dead legs against opposition teams. I nominate Tyrone Mings.

Finish the season and let me decide who is relegated from the Premier League.

It’s officially a pandemic now, so let’s just postpone everything and start again next season. No relegations for anyone, it wouldn’t be fair in the circumstances and would also give the authorities a chance to sort VAR out for next season as well. Win win all round.

So much for our a Home Games being important.

Gets my vote.

Merge this season and next. 76 game season to ensure that those who've done well retain their advantages and vice versa. Job done.

So far 0.001% of the population have been infected.

In China, the epicentre, 0.005% of the population has been infected.

New cases in China are declining.

3,000 people have died.

Swine flu killed between 150,000 and 550,000. I do not remember this mass panic then.

Social media and 24 hour news media has caused mass panic.

it's also worth checking out just how many people die each year in England and Wales from Flu related ailments - it's measured in thousands .....I don't recall the press or news outlets  releasing daily figures of newly diagnosed flu patients previously - it's obviously concerning, especially for vulnerable people ( I fit into that category as a diabetic) but there does appear to be an attempt to cause widespread panic for some reason .
I find it odd that people are "scared to shake hands" but will then jump into a car and drive at 80mph on a motorway and not see the risk - I've heard of builders/operatives concerned about entering clients homes because of the exposure to the virus but will merrily drill into Asbestos Insulating Board without PPE

Juve player tested positive - needs to stop now in Italy - there will bound to be more as they won’t know they had it

Times reporting could be announced tomorrow that all games go behind closed doors

Odds on Arsenal making the Champions League tumble.

No way will Euros happen this summer.

Would give all leagues flexibility to play into June at least if the virus spread eventually slows.

No chance with them spread over numerous countries , they be lucky to finish the champs league/europa  league

A decision to make all games in the PL behind closed doors is imminent apparently.
