There is no way we could see any sporting events in the next few months, the best solution is to extend these events indefinitely and when the situation calms down then it makes sense to schedule accordingly because as for now the Corona virus determines when everything returns to normal.
The only event that i thought would take place was UFC and that too was scrapped because of safety reasons.

The stores have the goods now but you need to stand in a long queue for over an hour to get into the store and there are restrictions on the amount of products we purchase, we can call that improvement than empty shelves  . The situation is getting worse and there are talks that the lock down will be extended and during that period there is no cigarette or liquor and if you still need those you need to spend double the market price in the black market.

I highly doubt the government will allow any events to take place unless they could test every player and have a conclusive result and right now you cannot say that because one of my acquaintance tested negative in the first test and on the second test he is tested positive and now shifted to a hospital and under quarantine, so the testing procedure is not that straight forward.

The loss is not a major factor when you take into consideration the risk involved in carrying on with the event even with upmost precaution.

Looking at the present situation I doubt Corona virus issue will die down by the end of this year untill their is a vaccine to cure people and stop this infection from spreading.

Just read a news today about people who got cured from this deadly virus. They have been again found positive,there is no escape from it only social distancing is the answer.

No, they will not anymore.

Most likely IPL will get cancelled this year or get postponed indefinitely untill the situation becomes normal. Sourav Ganguly will be addressing the media tomorrow after a meeting with the BCCI governing body.

In India things will become far from normal within a couple of months. India was the first country in South East Asia to implement lockdown and still things have not gone in favour of the country because 20 percent of its citizens do not want to follow the rules.

These 20 percent have now become super pressed and situation tends to get worsen more with the coming months. Already some states have increased the lock down period to 30th of April.

This is one of the reason why IPL will get cancelled or postponed.

Yes, at this time the entire committee will never plan for the league to be conducted as per schedule. Surely the discussion will be upon the postpone. At the moment government too won't allow the IPL. From my view everything is a business, and here IPL is a big business. So without people there is no money, and that makes everything to take place when things get to be better and normal as before.

This could be really good as we will go all without crowds because life is more important then this all.

In India, today there was an announcement from the MHA (Ministry of home affairs). A number of relaxations were being declared regarding the lockdown. The ministry has permitted the opening of IT and ITES firms from April 20 onward, with up to 50% staff attendance. This is an encouraging sign from the government and it is clear that they are looking forward to lift the lockdown. I am still not very sure about the IPL, but BCCI is going to try really hard to start it as soon as possible.

I was watching Sunil Gavaskar and Ramiz Raja talk in youtube. Mr. S.G was saying that there are very thin chances and now BCCI has only 20 days window for IPL as new deadline for lock down is 3rd May. In normal times IPL final takes place in 23th-ish May every year.
