Vaccine won't be ready til next spring at the earliest. Reason why Fauci keeps face palming everytime someone says we are close to a vaccine. It takes time.

It doesn’t hurt to have it ethier.

I’m happy the draft is when it is as Belarus soccer just ain’t cutting it for me with content. But there is no downside (if you can come up with something I’m all ears) to postponing this thing a month.

Exclusivity. Why wait until the other sports resume?

If we're still this concerned about it this fall after we shut down the country for a month, then fuck it... Just let it run its course. Fuck living our whole lives in fear

Exactly, so what happens when the next Viral disease hits next year or year after?? Sooner or later, going to have to adapt and live with this. You certainly can't keep doing this every few years or every year.

US would have to fuck up pretty bad to still have sports cancelled next fall. It won't take a vaccine to bring them back.

This is math.

Right now we are all stuck at home to reduce the numbers going in. It is the only variable we can currently control.

Once the treatments reduce the time spent in the hospital AND we have few enough new cases that we can actually test everyone in a new cluster aggressively and contact trace, we won't have the same problem. Smaller bursts will be much more manageable.

If you believe the research going into better drug therapies just aren't going to work and Americans just won't take this seriously enough to tamp it down, then maybe.

Lots of talk about it happening to empty stadiums; which I would be far more for than not having it at all. But boy, what a bummer that would be. So far it hasn't canceled anything I really care about.

That's the best numbers explanation I've seen. Thanks Wiz. :suds:

What can't the talking heads explain it like this.

The south east is fucked right now because of spring break. It's a spike that should clear in about two weeks, maybe 3. It too will pass.

People just have to stop being stupid. Oh wait, yeah we might be fucked. :tsk:

We locked things down fairly early here. Our numbers are going down in some areas because we realized how bad it was spreading while other areas in the state waited another week/ 2 weeks. Right now the issue is people in rural areas are classifying things as ‘essential’ and they aren’t truly essential. So while suburban and urban areas around my part are seeing drops, rural areas are skyrocketing.

beginning to think the best we can hope for is games in mostly empty stadiums. Maybe a few sparsely placed family members, band members, etc. But no stadiums packed with 100,000 fans.

Just TV baby, and maybe piped in fan noise
