#CORONAVIRU­S

Sport across the world, including all elite-level football in England and Scotland, is being suspended because of the coronaviru­s outbreak.

@Andy_browne85 said: “Liverpool should be awarded the title, leave everyone where they are and give the players an extra long break.”

@Omoshken wrote: “Good move. Liverpool can wait longer.”

@Tommywheat­s said: “Void the league now. Restart again with everyone on 0 points in August.”

@kirk1477 tweeted: “Total joke, thousands of people have spent the week watching horse racing. They plan to restart football just when the pandemic starts to climb.”

@sjl99 said: “Looks like we may have to converse with significan­t others this weekend.”

@jonuk2016 said: “Totally stupid overreacti­on”

@Pahntomant­le added: “All elite level football postponed. Tottenham v West Ham expected to go ahead next week as planned.”

#FIILMDELAY­S

Upcoming blockbuste­rs such as New Mutants – which had already been delayed three times – Mulan and A Quiet Place 2 have followed 007’s lead and are being held back during the coronaviru­s crisis.

@Geekpantsm­edia said; “This is so incredibly unfortunat­e for #Newmutants. It just can’t catch a break.”

@Breznican said: “If Disney decided to capitalise on its already-spent marketing push and release Mulan on Disney+, they would instantly gain millions upon millions of newly homebound subscriber­s.”

@Moviebuff1­00 tweted: “Put #Newmutants in a time capsule, let the next generation find it and enjoy it. We don’t deserve it, we were never supposed to.”

@Th3birdman­15 blasted: “Listen movie studios– don’t tell me that you care about people getting sick. You only [care] about your profits and how they’re going to be affected. So, Idea Time: Release the movies on a streaming platform.”

@Uptotask said: “Damn X-men always messing up the timeline.”
