Liverpool fans seem to get upset when you point this out, when the reality is you’re trying to sympathise with them. Very bizarre

In fairness there’s a difference between wanting people to die and not caring whether they do. I don’t think anyone here wants people dying
Been following football 20 years mate. Seen my side win a few league titles and some cups.
But have they ever won it during a pandemic?
If you want to believe you think it will feel as great as what it would normally, be my guest.

So what is the current state of play with English Football.
The Premier League definitely to be resumed and completed, with the fate of the Championship and League One, and the FA Cup to be decided, and the lower tiers of the Football League called off ?

Theres not much of a difference and i dont think any poster on here doesnt care if people die either. The lines been drawn.
A few posts yesterday were a bit too toxic and I'll weed out a few posters if i have too.

Nothing is a definite for a resumption. All dependent on being declared medically safe. Same with Championship. League 1/2 less at stake, was reported they will be finished off as PPG or weighted PPG.

Why isn’t it medically safe to resume ASAP? Nearly 60m (and climbing) people die across the world annually. That’s 5m humans every month. Sweden didn’t shutdown their economy while the UK did. There has been less deaths per capita in Sweden than the UK. Guess who still has a functioning economy out of the two?
If there’s no economy where does the money come from to finance socialism, health, education, law and order, etc. Lets not forget all of the jobs and businesses that are and will go bust. This is financial disaster that will cripple the world for generations.

You realise that Covid is contagious right? Cancer the biggest killer isn’t contagious is it. 50,000+ in the U.K. have died with Covid as at the very least a contributing factor. How many more would it have been had we not locked down. Sweden is an interesting case, but they are a society who are very cautious and unlike the U.K. the government can trust the vast amount of citizens to behave sensibly. They didn’t need to lockdown because of that

For starters, total deaths from Covid19 have been greatly exaggerated. You’ve got people dying across America and Europe from the usual causes of death. However, if the deceased had Covid19 in the system, that is put down as the cause of death.
Also, when was the EPL suspended? In that time the UK normally has nearly 2000 deaths per day (not Covid19 related). It’ll very interesting to see what the total deaths for 2020 amount to. My house says it won’t show up as anything worse than a bad flu season.

The facts are established I’m afraid Lebbo. At its height over 1000 people a day were dying in the U.K. having tested positive for Covid. The vast majority if not all of these people would have contracted the virus before lockdown as it takes usually 3-4 weeks to die from it. We know it doesn’t kill the healthy but it certainly puts the elderly and those with serious health issues at risk. What are you going to do just let those people succumb to the consequences? The U.K.s excess deaths is way up on previous year’s also. Unfortunately people are staying away from hospitals out of fear of the virus and are succumbing to other health issues. To put Covid into perspective 450 people die from cancer every day in the U.K. As I’ve said despite lockdown nearly three times that amount were dying from or with Covid at its height. No lockdown would have seen the numbers quadruple at least, and the NHS would have collapsed

Shows that money is the only reason a return for the premier league, not sporting integrity as has been claimed.

Sweden economy likely won't benefit from decision to avoid lockdown: report
Analysts told the Financial Times that "in the end, we think Sweden will end up more or less the same" as other countries.

You keep telling yourself those lies.
*David Paul Greenfield died on 3 May 2020, aged 71, from COVID-19. He had been diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection on 26 April 2020, a week before his death, during an extended hospital stay for heart-related problems.
There’s plenty more of these cases being reported by family members who say their deceased loved ones are being used as Covid19 statistics when it’s anything but the truth.
The facts are definitely not established. 98.3% of people who contract Covid19 only suffer mild to flu like symptoms. 0.1 to 0.3% of infected persons die. This is in line with the common cold. Especially, a new strand of virus that hasn’t been experienced before.
Sweden didn’t lockdown and there numbers are now coming down. It’s pretty obvious that those countries that allowed international travel into their country for too long after the virus was identified are the ones that are suffering the most. It doesn’t have much if anything to do with shutdowns.
Brazil have had 21,000 thousand deaths from Covid19. Over the same period time their average deaths unrelated to Covid19 is 480,000.
The US is over 99,000 deaths from Covid19. Their usual total deaths unrelated from Covid19 is near on 650,000 people.
Unfortunately, leaving your house or just being born makes you a risk of dying. It is time to end the shutdowns immediately with social distancing practiced as much as possible before the world economy collapses completely. Best of luck to us all if this happens and you have angry, hungry people roaming the streets killing people for food. Survival of the fittest will be back in vogue.

If it's about sporting integrity, what about the integrity of the women's league/lower leagues etc?
Is that just my imagination as well?
