These figures though must be based on conjecture on level of conjecture and 
hence bear little more signifigence than talking points. How virulent would 
the mutated virus be? How easily transmissible? How quickly would quarantine 
and travel restrictions be put in place and to what level would they be 
enforced and observed? Surely the worst case scenario is everybody dies in 
the UK and the Ashes series cannot be played.
