1. It's absolutely not the flu, it's more dangerous.
2. People can be asymptomatic and be spreading it for weeks.
3. It can be picked up from many different surfaces, not just via coughs and sneezing.
4. Not taking it seriously is to not care for your, or others' older parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents etc, and so is chronically, abhorrently selfish.
5. A lot of the numbers from other countries are massive underestimates of actual numbers, most notably in where we heard of it first.
6. The numbers (despite their questionable validity) will grow in the next week or two, and probably keep growing for God knows how long.

Don't underestimate this. Better safe than sorry. Be careful what you touch, be careful of people in your face.

All elite football in England has been suspended until at least 3 April as a result of the spread of coronavirus.

All Premier League games, EFL fixtures and matches in the FA Women's Super League and Women's Championship have been postponed

FA talking to our league but they have said it’s up to our league to make its own decision.

These decisions seem to be being taken on the number of players who are affected rather than the spectators.

Update from a BBC journalist via Twitter:
There is a board meeting of the National League due to take place in the next hour or so to decide what to do.

Just need to get our game over tomorrow in front of 3,000 plus (he said, optimistically), then whatever happens we will be in a bit better position financially. A Harrogate defeat tonight and a good win tomorrow for us too and I will be ready to face whatever comes after ;)

Just need to stay top. Significant possibility that the league could be decided on current standings whenever it's suspended.
