While it is, of course, essential that we protect as many vulnerable people as possible with self-isolation where warranted and social distancing as standard to stop things getting worse (they will anyway), there are many who need to start taking this much more seriously than they are already.

Arsenal at present are already suffering from a shortage of players due to injuries, so it will be interesting to see how the FA WSL, and the Premier League, move forward.
With players such as Daniele Rugani already testing positive, it seems like a world-wide suspension of sport is only a matter of time away.
