Coronavirus SZN Forever

[Miamipuck]

The problem is comparing a free and open society to places where the government controls most everything. Try instituting mandatory coronavirus-covid-19 testing in this country, we would lose ourccollective minds more than they already are.

They even cancelled the freaking Grand Prix.

I never thought this would affect the NFL draft but after seeing the majors sports leagues responses it would be naive to think it’s not in question at this point. Could they do it electronically? Is there enough time to pull something like that off?

6 weeks away. With the fairly extreme response we're having, I think it will abate pretty quickly. My guess is that the draft will be fine.

While things being settled in 6 weeks is very plausible

The draft could be delayed long before that

At the very least I would think it's a near certainty that fans would be excluded

Agreed. But then fans going to the draft is freaking weird anyway, so no biggie there.

Well that wasn't really the point I was trying to make. Basically the coronavirus isn't going away in the next week or two. So the decision to suspend the draft could be made then, long before the actual draft

I hope the NFL Draft goes back to the old format and they do it all in one weekend.

my sons school district is closed for spring break this coming week, and then 2 more weeks for covid-19 quarantine. this absolutely fucks everyone over, freak.

my wife works at a dentist, and theyre unable to get essential supplies because retards are hoarding them. they have 2 weeks worth of supplies left, and between their suppliers jacking up prices on everything(this excrement should be illegal) and people hoarding, theyre worried about not getting stuff and having to close until they can.

my own job announced wednesday that we were staying open, but would start checking into what everyone needs to work remotely and would re-evaluate once our county got its first confirmed case. 30 minutes later WHO declared it a pandemic and the first confirmed case was announced, a dr. and then today the schools closed for 2 additional weeks. so we'll see what happens tomorrow...


least theres no way tomorrow could be any worst than today, right?

Disney has postponed the releases of “Mulan,” “The New Mutants” and “Antlers” out of “an abundance of caution,” Disney announced Thursday.

“As you know this has been a rapidly evolving situation and I wanted to make you aware that we are postponing the releases of ‘Mulan,’ ‘The New Mutants,’ and ‘Antlers’ out of an abundance of caution. We truly believe in the moviegoing experience, and we are looking at new potential 2020 release dates to be announced at a later date,” Disney said in a statement.

“Mulan” was supposed to hit theaters March 27, while “The New Mutants” was scheduled for an April 3 release date and “Antlers” was supposed to open April 17.

God dammit I wanted to see Antlers

I'm not going in tomorrow.

I'm on an oil tank that's halfway full and we have enough food for a week. I'm not an alarmist, but I'm also not getting caught completely unprepared if I'm in a situation where I need to stay in the house for an elongated period of time.

[Heismanberg]

I'm not an alarmist

Spoken like a true alarmist

After going grocery shopping I'm convinced we're all far more likely to starve to death than die from freaking coronavirus
