It's far from my area of expertise too but I think we'd know all about it if a single building had just collapsed due to this. Obviously, if a risk has been identified then it needs to be investigated but I suspect in most cases that will be an end to it.
Like you say, a good time to be a surveyor!!

It wasn’t many moons ago that we were happily working around (and with) asbestos. Now that’s on a register and heavily controlled…i.e. remove it or leave it alone!
It couldn’t be in worse locations than schools.
It’ll depend on the various structures and condition, although I’m sure legislation will soon deem that there are immediate regular inspection requirements.
If it has a massively reduced shelf life (or needs physical remediation) it’s going to be hugely expensive going forwards.
I read it wasn’t widely used in the construction of football stadiums, so they should be OK.
