I suspect in the first part of next year there will be a vaccine. However, in the meantime, governments and people the world over are starting to wake up to the reality that as lovely as it is to think that we can just shut everything down indefinitely and still have jobs, schools, economies and yes sports, that is some kind of fantasy.
This virus presents yet another risk to our lives; on top of the countless others. It's calling living. Even the Black Plague didn't kill everyone in Europe. And that cesspool of infection and disease, and no medicines and no understanding what the disease was or how it spread, and no means to just stop working, still didn't manage to eradicate mankind.
I think we need a few strong leaders to stand up say: move on. Do the best we can. Prioritize risks and those who are the most vulnerable. Let each person decide for themselves how much risk is comfortable for them. And that goes with football players and staffs. There is no reason that at this point there can't be constant testing and quick isolation for the infected. Might some tiny number of players get sick, a few less very sick? Nearly for certain. But if they want to earn a paycheck then it's up to them to decide. And yes, those who want to buy tickets and want to come to a game ought to be allowed to do so. Vendors can wear masks, be tested, etc. So can officials, even broadcasters
The issue is how to live something close to a normal life along with the disease, and it begins with giving people information and then letting people be responsible, understanding that (as always) there will be those that won't be.
