And I'll support it if its wise to do so, though I'm not convinced coming back in June in the peak flu season will work well either.

Houses are going to be lost in the 10s of thousands.

Based on the AFLW decision I would doubt that would happen

Not really, given the amount of long distance travel these players have to do.
If they think things are going to be 'back to normal' enough in 10 weeks they are very naive.
10 weeks from now we'll likely be very much in the peak of Covid-19.

Most hospitals and health services are currently putting out advertisements looking for EoIs for people to help in non clinical areas.
They're more than welcome to apply to wash dishes, clean laundry or do admin work. We're going to need all the help we can get in that regard if Covid takes out ~30% of our workforce.
They will still get paid their base salary, they just won't get match payments.

Their base payments are about to drop significantly
Government stimulus package is there to help them out if they have to go on the dole, if not they're still more fortunate than a great deal of people are going to be soon.
see im confused as I only work part time and earn less than people on the dole already... and now they're getting double but I still have to go work and from what ive read im not eligible for any sort of stimulus package.

Normally not a fan of the competitions CEO but thought he was really good in the press conference. Looked genuinely shattered.
Probably thinking about the bonus he's going to lose this year because of it.

Maybe someone will find a cure by then. There's some talk about Hydrochloroquine (or something or other) being effective. Who knows if governments worldwide will begin rolling it out to hospitals. I'm not really sure what the hold up is myself, to be honest.
Even if we found a cure a month ago, it would not be available 10 weeks from now, let alone in sufficient quantities to meet world demand.
hydroxychloroquine was used in china and there are a fair number of indications that it was effective. However China doesn't have the rigorous safety and testing standards the west does. Now with some of these drugs they have the advantage of being already used for other things (Malaria in this case) so we already at least know a little something about the side effect risks in a general sense. However there's a long way to go before it's used at scale as anything other than a means of last resort in a health system that can't cope otherwise (e.g. Italy).
If we resort to using a drug untested for this purpose it means that our health systems have made a conscious choice to suspend huge amounts of procedures and ethical guidelines when it comes to the treatment of patients. That isn't a place we want to be in as a nation, but it is one we may find ourselves in if things go badly.
Is there a celebrity endorsed Gofundme page raising funds to find a cure I can donate to.
