You mention SARS and MERS both if which we I think we don't have a vaccine for!'"
There were several vaccines developed for SARS Cov-1 but as there hasn't been a case since 2004 they were withdrawn from clinical trial - but they worked. MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus) began a vaccine trial last year in Saudi Arabia, it was developed by the Jenner Institute in Oxford, the same people who have just put the SARS Cov-2 vaccine into clinical trial.
The difference is the number of cases, it's a massive effort to develop and manufacture a vaccine and usually takes 5-10 years to do it. MERS has claimed around 900 lives to date and as the name suggests is limited to a particular geographical area and is generally infectious by close proximity to camels - hence the trial taking place in Saudi Arabia. The expertise that the Jenner has on covid diseases is immense and they were very ready for this.

| I agree that large public gatherings are unlikely to be allowed until a vaccine is readily available or effective medication has been proven to prevent death. Testing is important but the current approved test kits only tell you you have the virus at the time of the test. You could be infected the following day/week etc. The worry is that recent medical reports from Germany suggest perhaps one in five are asymptomatic.
Social distancing is likely to be with us for some time and life will have to adjust accordingly.
Full RL will be almost impossible under current measures. However for clubs to try and produce some urgently needed income maybe the RL authorities could run a summer 9s competition with rule changes eg no scrums only tackling around the legs etc. This would have a better chance of being allowed as there would be no scrums and no wrestle. This could prove to be a big hit with Sky as it would appeal to Union fans used to their summer 7s competitions. There could be 4 games per session say twice a week or more if Championship clubs were included.

Think so but it will be behind closed doors. Be interesting to see what the club does regarding season tickets. Cant see them offering refunds and if discount is offered off next season it could make next year financially difficult.

I’m not convinced there will be unless this god damn disease goes away significantly by mid Sumer. If there is it will be greatly reduced.
