The players are just part of society.
When so many test positive it's just an indication of how many people are positive throughout society but don't know it, because ordinary people aren't constantly tested like the players.
Drop the Covid19 hysteria, stop reducing hospital capacity, and just keep calm and carry on regardless.1 -
Burnley's Premier League match at home to Watford on Wednesday has been postponed because of an ongoing Covid outbreak within the visitors' squad.

Ignore, comment above answers it.Burnley v Watford off tonight. When was that called off? Was it very recently or was it called off yesterday and earlier. Swear it was showing on the betting sides this morning.0

But they wont let them call the Leicester v spurs game.0

Saturday's Championship matches between Reading and Luton and Millwall and Preston have been postponed because of cases of coronavirus.
Both Reading and Millwall said they are unable to play because a "significant number" of their players have tested positive.

I’m personally expecting an unaccounted for winter break after this weekend’s games are played.Could see the return being FA Cup weekend in January?
That would leave us needing to find time to reschedule Wimbledon (A), Gillingham (H) and Wycombe (H). And potentially MK Dons (H) in the pizza cup.0 -

Less than 3 hours before kick off, that's pathetic.clive said:Burnley's Premier League match at home to Watford on Wednesday has been postponed because of an ongoing Covid outbreak within the visitors' squad.
Imagine if you're a Watford fan who had taken time off work, paid for trains and a hotel and traveled up.
The league really need to bring in a 24 or 36 hour cut off point for postponements, otherwise the team at fault forfeits the game. You don't get to 2.5-3 hours before kick off without a problem already being known.6 - Sponsored links:

Covid cases went from 59600 yesterday to 78000 today. If the growth in cases continue like that I can see all xmas & new year games suspended.0

Such is the current climate. Remember arriving in Burnley back in early 1995 for a Tuesday night away game to find out the game had been binned a couple of hours before kick off.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

I think they'll try and do their best to ride it out through christmas and new year, simply because there will be a lot of pressure from the tv companies for the festive games to go ahead.golfaddick said:Covid cases went from 59600 yesterday to 78000 today.

I can see a break coming in the new year though if things get out of hand.0 -
unfortunately we are still a week away from xmas and my guess is that case numbers and positive cases will be at such a high level even by then given the growth, that they'll be no option to bin off the season for a couple of weeks meaning the xmas period will all but be cancelled and cause a huge fixture pile up0

I think the obvious thing to do here is to end the current season. Decide relegation and promotion on form over the last nine league games. Then as soon as the pandemic has died down a bit start the 22/23 season straight away with time to get in the World Cup. I hope we get Newcastle for our first game back in the Championship.15

There'll be an enforced break soon I think0

Yep - I did that one.shirty5 said:

So far L1 and L2 haven’t been affected much
Fewer cases or less testing?0 -
I suspect a far higher take up of vaccinations. Owners/Management teams probably have more control over their 'superstars' and cannot afford to have 2/3 isolating like their PL or Championship cousins.killerandflash said:So far L1 and L2 haven’t been affected much

Leicester v Spurs tonight is off0

Not a chance. TV companies would not allow it.Gravesend_Addick said:There'll be an enforced break soon I think0 -
Will Spurs ever play again?
Played only 2 league games since 21 November and haven't played an away game since 7 November.
2nd half of the season is going to be tough for them.1 -

Hmm, or look at it the other way, its a nice pre-season break for the fans with zero stressChris_from_Sidcup said:Will Spurs ever play again?

Not had a single weekend ruined by Spurs for weeks. Kind of enjoying it tbh.8 -
Not officially confirmed yet but Spurs fans have been told to turn around if they're heading to Leicester so its highly likely.stackitsteve said:Leicester v Spurs tonight is off0 -

Fewer cases or less testing?In League One, Gillingham and Crewe has been called off because of cases in the Gills camp. Sheffield Wednesday v Accrington is off too.
In League Two, Crawley v Oldham and Northampton v Barrow have also been postponed.
