Organise an all-star football match for people to watch for free while isolating
Invite a small group of footballers to be tested for Covid-19 and quarantined until they are clear, then allow them to play an exhibition match to keep everyone happy while we wait for the virus to go away.
People need to be entertained or else they will get bored and might go outside. My dad read about this idea (in the economist) and even though I'm 8 years old, I think we should do it. I would love to see the best players in the country play against each other and it would make everyone feel happier.
