Imo there is no way the season will not be cancelled. The situation is deteriorating by the day over there, and with government-enforced lockdowns occurring in the regions of Lombardia, Veneto, Emilia Romagna (where most of the teams are located) - something will have to give soon
Just end the season now, award us the title, sack Sarri, and we hopefully start fresh in the 20/21 season.
Lombardia (Wuhan FC, Milan, Brescia, Atalanta)
Veneto (Hellas Verona)
Piemonte (Juventus, Torino)
Emilia-Romagna (Bologna, Parma, SPAL, Sassuolo)
Literally more than half of the teams in this league are located in areas in a potential lockdown zone. Dire situation.

They should suspend this season. Then next season we start early August and play midweek games to compensate fixtures. And no winter break. So we get to win two scudetti in one season. Also we get to see Juve every 3-4 days. But if we have good season it would be great. If we have a bad season then it will be way too long.
If we will not win vs Inda they will say the standings after 26 maatchday are the final ones and Lazio gets the scudetto. If we win they'll find a way to declare 23 round were the last 'proper' one and Inda gets the scudetto. 
Inter can suck a bag of dicks regardless.
Se saltelli, muore Balotelli di Coronavirus 
Balotelli calls for stop to football
By Football Italia staff
Mario Balotelli agrees with the Players’ Association that football should stop in Italy until the Coronavirus is under control. “Money isn’t worth our health, we have to wake up.”
The situation is spiralling out of control, particularly in the Lombardy region, where by far the majority of the over 5,000 cases are based.
There have now been 233 deaths in Italy from the highly-contagious illness, an increase of 36 from Friday, and another 567 in intensive care.
Balotelli posted the message from President of the AIC Damiano Tommasi, which was calling for football to halt during this unprecedented crisis.
“I agree with you 100%,” wrote the Brescia striker. “Money isn’t worth our health, we have to wake up. Don’t write rubbish to me like: But you are protected! What difference does it make if you play or not? Nothing happens to you behind closed doors! Don’t take away the only fun that people have at the weekend in the red zones!
“I LOVE FOOTBALL MORE THAN YOU… but playing means travelling by bus, train, aeroplane, sleeping in a hotel, in any case entering into contact with other people outside of your working environment…
“I already don’t get to see my children because of this damned Coronavirus, because as you know they do not live in Lombardy, so it’s already infuriating and sad.
“I certainly don’t want my mother, who I see and eat with almost every day, to catch anything from me. She is not the same age as me and as much as I love football (which I owe everything to), I won’t risk her getting ill!
“Why would I? To entertain someone else? Or to stop them losing money? Don’t be ridiculous! GET OVER YOURSELVES, WE’VE HAD ENOUGH NOW. Guys, you can’t joke around with health.”

According to Football Italia, it's likely hat the squads and staff will be considered exceptions.
