I guess they say suspension but I cannot see sports this year at all and probably next.

The reason for these steps is one thing only. The objective is to slow transmission to mitigate against hospitals being overrun with patients. There are limited available resources, from doctors and nurses to isolation rooms to ventilators. We are trying to avoid what’s happening in Italy as we speak - critically ill patients being allowed to die on the basis of age or infirmity.
The endgame is that the virus will, with mathematical certainty, infect millions.
