So.. football.

Calling it now. It's not happening this year guys. 

Baseball is done too, and there will be no playoffs for NHL and NBA.

Pass.  No matter the occasion.  The easiest part is that she doesn't want to go either.
Hey you don't have to explain your guilt pangs to us.Unless your close and much closer mileage wise 2 hrs is a long way to go for a B-Day party.Just tell them they don't have to come to your kids party,unless they already did.Then I'd fall back on the taking precautions route,which in fact you are.Now go have a beer you must feel terrible

I'd say there is some chance of a part season for baseball, I hope anyway.  CFB?  If we cancel that it means the wheels have well and truly come off and we're in a deep depression with huge unemployment numbers.  

I wonder at some point if the "authorities" realize a depression is worse than just letting the disease do its thing.  That sounds awful of course.

IF sports do happen, and I think it's a B1G IF, there will be no fans in the stands.

There has been some good news today on the medical front. We shall see.

I don't know how this plays out.  It is POSSIBLE the virus "disappears" this summer.  It is possible we figure out how to manage it, akin to the regular flu.

And maybe "we" decide it's out and we just have to let it run its course after having hopefully prevented the hospitals from being overrun.

Sunlight almost certainly is its nemesis.

Some absurdity here IMHO.  If we get a vaccine but not enough for everyone, the health care workers should be first in line, then other folks exposed to the public.

First responders, grocery store workers, pharmacists, restaurant staff, delivery staff, etc. Health care workers for sure.


Certainly not spring break assclowns or their idiot parents.

I think your last two sentences is an interesting point.

Our idiot governor announced a press conference for this evening at 7 that caused a statewide panic because everyone assumed more restrictions were coming.  There was a huge run on the grocery stores. So he has the press conference to announce he isn’t shutting the state down yet but to keep up the social distancing.

He probably caused the virus to spread more than anyone in the state by causing people to panic and congregate at stores.  The other day he held a press conference where he said, “the only way to beat this thing is to join hands and stay apart.”

It's certainly better for the "greater good" to let it run its course.  But tyranny of the majority is an awful way to run any civilization
