Coronavirus: EFL say 'no decisions taken yet' on what may happen next

Madejski Stadium
The English Football League says no decisions have been taken regarding the next steps after games were suspended until 3 April because of coronavirus.
The EFL said its board were due to meet again this week and it would continue with its "contingency planning".
A further update will be issued following that board meeting.
"Now is the time for cool heads and calm reflection, rather than speculation," EFL chair Rick Parry said in a statement issued on Monday.
The EFL added: "The health and wellbeing of EFL staff, players, club employees and supporters is of paramount importance and will be key to the decisions made by football.
"It is with that in the forefront of the league's mind that it notes the intense speculation that has appeared across the local, national and international media over the weekend.
"While [we] understand there is a strong desire from both the media and general public to understand what may happen next, there have, at this current time, been no decisions taken.
"The league also feels it inappropriate to respond to the many hypothetical solutions being suggested while the many unknowns remain.
"Given the fast paced environment and parameters we are currently working within, it is simply not practical to give a running commentary on what may happen.
"In the immediate short term we will continue with our contingency planning to deal with the implications the outbreak of Covid-19 has presented the EFL and its clubs, in addition to liaising with the Government, health authorities and football partners.
"A further update will be given once the EFL board has met this week. In the meantime, we wish the football and wider community well and urge all to follow the guidance from the Government provided by Public Health England if presented with any symptoms."

what is the most frightening thing that you have ever seen happen in life

It’s a man looking over his family during the British Raj in India. There were many cases of cannibalism and he feared someone would try to kill and eat his children or wife. I acknowledge this is a difficult picture to look at— but I included it for a reason. Many people in the US/West aren’t even aware of the terrible famines that swept through India and which are comparable to the holocaust in deaths (an estimated ~30 million people have died in famines in India). This was taken from the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which was far worse than the infamous Bengal Famine. It was caused by a crop failure/drought and was exacerbated by the crown’s export of wheat abroad. In total, 5.6 - 9 million people died (it’s hard to get exact figures). And within huge statistics like these, are forgotten stories. These are individuals and families, who slowly faced the despair of knowing they had no food and would have no food in the near future. They faced the horror of knowing there was ...
