How many toilet paper rolls is that now?
To expect 320 odd players plus that in staff to isolate in a different state to their families?
Not going to happen
Good article on end game options. This can either really drag out with half measures or we go very strong lockdown for a few months until new cases slow right down and keep our borders closed for 12 months or until a vaccine treatment is found.
