RE: Corona Thread (Serious Discussion) - Vas Deferens - 03-12-2020 Teams aren't sending scouts to pro-days? Sounds like we may have an even playing field all of a sudden. There is absolutely no reason to have a live draft this year. The turn out in LV will be horrendous. The individuals who would decide to attend are not the type of people who politely cough into their elbow, 90% of attendees will be infected from the jump. Someone please tell Joe to stay at home, get drafted from the safe confines of his bubble he should already be inside.

Twitter also wasn't as rampant as it is now. RE: Corona Thread (Serious Discussion) - Wes Mantooth - 03-12-2020 I think it's very likely teams suspend all operations for the next few weeks. I understand free agent interviews and negotiations can be done remotely, but it's far from ideal. There's physicals and meetings with various staff. At this point I can't see playes and agents flying all over, and I can't see multi-million dollar investments being made, and deals getting done via video conferencing. Then you consider the amount of staff in a NFL facility (Front office, coaches, scouts, medical and training staff, ticket sales, administrative) many coming and going, I think they just shut down league-wide until this situation is better understood. Couple all that with the new CBA tbrowing a wrench in things, I think we're looking at no free agency starting next week.

Yeah, I know the reasons guess I was just being an ass cause this pisses me off. Still, when 60 million Americans were infected by the swine flu it wasn't a big deal, this isn't even close to that.

And those people still don't care about the NBA regular season. The NBA only averages 400 more people attending per game than the NHL, and 11,000 less people than MLB despite MLB having 80 more games in their regular season. 9 of the last 10 teams to play in the NBA Finals were the Warriors and Cavaliers. The entire rest of the season is pointless if it's just going to boil down to 2 teams.

Not being an ass at all; I agree the hysteria is overblown and ridiculous. Just live your lives normally, people; if you get it, you get it. Over the age of 60? Be careful and wary, but if you're a young or middle-aged healthy adult, just go about your business; still attend events, still go out to dinner, ENJOY YOURSELVES. The amount of people that will use this as an excuse to get out of work or something for the next 6 months+, will be insanely high.

There was adequate testing during all other outbreaks (swine/eboli) in recent history. It's likely far more than 60 million already infected/exposed. That's why this reaction is so different. Twitter and the media wouldn't cause what we are seeing now with the cancellations and economic crash. The issue is no one knows how much this has spread because they have only tested 10K total since February. As comparison most countries are testing 10k daily.

I know, I'm one of those people. The majority of people with those also don't realize any real gain or loss based on short-term market instability. Gallup, based on a survey, estimates about 55% of the American public being invested in the market, and the vast majority of those folks aren't even looking at it. They are ones with IRAs (which I won't even get into the pile of horse shit they are) who just know it is steadily accumulating funds as they work. It does not affect their daily lives in any way. RE: Corona Thread (Serious Discussion) - Sled21 - 03-12-2020 Why is this in Jungle Noise?

I would not suggest this...there are two strains of the coronavirus and you can actually have both at the exact same time. Also even if you recover from both you can turn around and get them again. There are reasons they are shutting down events and quarantining towns.
