- The Spanish government is poised to declare a 15-day national lockdown on Monday to battle coronavirus.
Under the decree being finalised, people would be allowed out only for emergencies, to buy food, or for work.

France also declared a national lockdown within the past 30 minutes that's as draconian as Italy's with all cinemas, bars and restaurants to close immediately.
Should have twerked one another.

France ordered the closing of just about everything the rest of the world loves about it — the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the cafes, restaurants and cinema — and Spain drew up plans Saturday to lock down its 46 million citizens as governments took increasingly desperate measures to put more space between people and contain the coronavirus.
Some people say the virus came from the Wuhan wet market..

Exclusive: Uefa consider staging Euro 2020
Uefa will consider moving Euro 2020 to December in a bid to allow the Premier League and other club competitions to catch up this summer following the unprecedented sporting chaos caused by coronavirus.
Hmmm, some scientists claim that if we defeat the virus before the summer, it will be back in the winter.
But, this season has to finish. I find it perplexing that the FA are talking about ending the season and adding 2 teams to the Premier League - just so that next season can start. It makes more sense to postpone next season than cancel 7 months of inconclusive fixtures.
People seem fixated on Liverpool having won the league - which they have. But how about in Spain - 2 points separate the top 2. Also, try telling Man U, Wolves and Sheff U that they won't be allowed to finish above Chelsea.
If next season starts before this season finishes, then it essentially tells me that the TV money is the most important thing of all.
People may point out how World war 2 wiped out the 1939/40 season - but that was 6 years (God help us if this is 6 years) and the season was only 3 games old.
No to behind closed doors games.
No to season ending unfinished
No to playing football until active cases are in obvious decline.
Looks like they are planning to isolate the over 70’s for a few months. Seems a very good idea but it’s going to be very hard for the ones I know as they won’t be able to physically see their grandkids. If they could somehow get tests out for everyone else we can all crack on as best we can....,
