NHL and March Madness cancelled within next within 24 hours - it's foregone conclusion and TV heads are indicating the decision has already been made. Then MLB. Olympics in Japan too.
This is a once in-our-lifetime event...

Just the money ramifications alone for the NBA is staggering. I'm sure MLB is next? Although, most Baseball is played outside.

It's not the outside part. It's the travel that comes with the sport. Airplanes, airports, locker rooms, hotels, gyms, training tables, luggage handling, buses, cars, eating on the road, press conferences and then they get to the actual close quarters physical contact inherent in all sports.
No professional team of any sport would last 1 month....
Nah man - f' that. I'm a pro baller in any sport and I'm sitting my multi-million dollar arse at home. Hell, I'm doing it now and I'm broke.
Seriously, everyone is going to need to sit this one out at home. This is the beginning of the beginning. Exponential curves are a bitch. As of today curves put it between 75 - 150 million Americans infected within 3 weeks. Of that, 10% will need hospitalization. If we can somehow even get that 10% down to just 1% that's about 700K patients. There are 300K total hospital beds in America at this moment. The death rate is holding at 3 - 3.4% worldwide. At 75 million Americans, that's 2.15 million dead. At 150 million, that's 5.1 million dead. Germany announced today that they expect 70%+ of their population to get sick. In America, that would be 260 million with a death rate of 3.4 = 8.8 million dead and the need for 2.6 million hospitals beds. Again, there's 300K of those. The Mariner's won't be playing because SafeCo will be a triage center + Century Link + Key Arena + Tacoma Dome.
Slept tight,

What a pile of crap that speech was. Pathetic. Is seems the markets thought the same as it's off more than 700 points in futures trading.
Trump is a fuckin' retard and the whole world knows it. Even his fart sniffers know. A soon as his stupid speech started with "our nation’s unprecedented response to the coronavirus outbreak" ... instead of talking about the actual threat of the virus, I knew it was gonna be another scapegoating finger pointing dumpsterfire, as usual. Some people will unnecessarily die because of this thin-skinned, incompetent asshole. As usual, all he cares about is himself and his tv ratings. Fuuck us.

Has anyone actually read anything detailed about what's going on in Italy? The same exact thing that happened in Wuhan & Hubei. It's carnage.
At this very moment, they are in full, 24/7 WWI and WWII style medical triage. They are literally forehead marking PILES of the sick with sharpies on who gets to live and who gets to die. If you are over 50, they pretty much aren't even giving you medical attention or a doctors exam any longer (you get the dreaded black X). There will be 10's of thousands dead in Italy in 2 weeks.
The infection curves are showing us about 2 weeks behind Italy.

I'm on day 6 with only 2 very quick excursions into any possible hot zone. Doing alright for now. mostly thank to you knuckleheads. I've gone almost 24 hours without a cig. First time in a few years. One day at a time.
I'm seriously considering like yoga and jazzercise or some chit. Remember that old lady that used to do exercises on a chair and instruct other old farts to do the same? Fvck yeah - I do that too!

March Madness will go on. Teams, support staff and immediate family members only. No fans.

Nick, I keep hearing about how smokers may be at increased risk to complications from COVID. I wonder if it is the withdrawals added on top of the disease of if it is the clogged up lungs.
I remember my 2-3 pack a day grandma (lived to 94 and was wishing to go for most of that last 10) trying to quit and having terrible rashes and fever and headaches. Seems like that could really mess you up on top of a novel disease.
Also reminds of how they used to keep liquor in hospitals because people literally died from withdrawals. Maybe get so nicotine patches in case you get your lungs swamped.
