"Safe" is not a magical thing that can be decided. It is a subjective judgement about the level of risk you are willing to accept.

The risk in the UK is amongst the highest of any country in the world. Some people may be satisfied that the risk of death to the players, staff and their families is low enough to continue, but the risk is absolutely 100% there. In NZ it's arguably not there at the moment yet still they're proceeding with more caution than we seem to be.
I dont disagree with any of that.

However, football seems fairly certain they can create a safe space. It's over to them to prove / justify it. In that sense the point on safety is moot.
