Former owner of London's "Crystal Palace" Simon Jordan was outraged by the decision to temporarily suspend the English Premier League championship. According to the tycoon, such measures are excessive, and the coronavirus scare in Europe is a press-created fuss. "Two scenarios could have been chosen - medical and media. Preference was given to the latter, because that's what the press wanted. But we are talking about a 0.2% mortality rate for people under 70. How many more cases of illness will need to be recorded in order to resume the championship? The press trumpets that London's "Arsenal" coach Mikel Arteta contracted the coronavirus. He is a 39-year-old man, falling into that category of people where almost no mortality is recorded. The matches were supposed to be played behind closed doors, and I suspect that the decision was not made for financial reasons. They just needed to test all the players, and those who were sick couldn't play. Surely there could have been other solutions," clarified S. Jordan.
