They could shorten the animals testing period by inviting Small Heath to participate in the trials.  Many of them, okay some of them, are very close to homo sapiens.

Of the virus If the talk is another 12-14 weeks that's June ish time when thing peak !! but no one knows

But if it's 3% of 40 million that's around 1.2 milion deaths . That would be scandalous, sickening and so sad.
 I wouldn't care about football one bit if this is what's going to happen and I think football itself will have a long break maybe for at least a  year if not longer because of the lost lives.

Please I hope vaccine can be found
FFS.
Get a grip.
It's too soon to be making estimates so in that respect I get your sentiment .
Though I find it alarming the 2% - 3% mortality rate especially if cases are rising in UK- like they have in every other country.
I don't want to be alarmist most want the possibility of recovery soon and things back to a regular way though it looks more like a long way off and football like it not will be on back burner.
Just how I currently seeing things .

How come tamiflu was issued so quickly during last flu epidemic?
Was it already available/viable as a recognised vaccine during that outbreak ?

Our trip to Wembley feels like it took place a million years ago on another planet all of a sudden.

The flu vaccine just requires tweaking each year to match the particular strain rather than starting from scratch and the production lines and distribution networks are primed and in place. There is also a defined strategy to prioritise at risk groups and health workers.

We're at 2.5%of reported cases. Very worrying nonetheless for the at risk age cohort and those with heart issues/cancer/diabetes/blood pressure issues.

Seeing headlines like “the season must be finished” on the Sunday Supplement shows the nativity/stupidity that’s still around. There’s no “must” about it, it’s so far down on the list of things to worry about it’s virtually meaningless. A good portion of the world is in the grips of a crisis, why is it so important if Liverpool win the fucking Premier League.

I assume he means it could be ready for human trial by April. Long way between proving it and scaling it for global mass production. It just means that there will be a vaccine to prevent another bout happening again next winter.

The Italian Football Federation has called for the postponement of Euro 2020 to give time to complete the Serie A season, which has been suspended because of coronavirus.

Federation president Gabriele Gravina says the idea will be put to Uefa at an emergency meeting on Tuesday.

Serie A was suspended last Tuesday, with Italy the European country worst affected by the virus.

"We will propose that Uefa postpone the European Championship," Gravina said.

Speaking to television channel Sportmediaset, the Italian added: "We will try to get to the end of this championship [Serie A] because it is fairer and more correct after the many investments and sacrifices of our clubs."

Uefa has invited representatives of its 55 member associations to Tuesday's video conference meeting, with Euro 2020 due to take place from 12 June-12 July at venues across Europe.

The boards of the European Club Association and the European Leagues, and a representative of world players' union Fifpro have also been invited and discussions will cover all domestic and European competitions, including the possible postponement of Euro 2020 by one year.

The Italian Football Federation had previously said the Serie A season may not be completed and offered alternatives including play-offs, not having a champion for 2019-20 or declaring the current standings final.

Gravina now hopes the league could finish by 30 June, one month later than scheduled, but admitted it could be extended for another month and suggested clubs should not train at the moment.

"If the league were to resume at the beginning of May, I would leave the question of training for the moment," he said.

"Let's leave the boys at home, they have to recover physical and mental energy."

On Sunday, Italy reported 368 more coronavirus deaths, a new one-day record in the country.

Italy has the most people live case of
the virus going on in the world .not just Europe.
How on earth thinks league is getting done beats me only due to the sheer scale of what's happening now on a daily and rapid basis.

Recent reports suggest that if the Coronavirus precautions go through into May and June it will be “inevitable” that the current football season is cancelled.

This means as it currently stands that:
- Liverpool won’t win the league
- West Brom won’t get promoted
- Leeds won’t get promoted
- Villa won’t get relegated

Not to detract from the gravity of the current situation this seems to good to be true to me. I just have this feeling that the final outcome won't be the one we all want!

We never do things the easy way and something tells me that if we do stay up we will have to earn it by finishing the season.
