Will the Bengals play in an empty stadium this season?

[t3r3e3]

With the NBA suspending the season and the NCAA tourney playing in empty arenas, it makes you wonder what’s coming? For once, it won’t be Mike’s inept management that keeps the fans away...

They did last year...

I brought the subject up a few weeks ago and it apparently vanished as if to say...Couldn't happen here..I guess..
We've had a few cases just up the road from me in Kershaw County here in SC. Always a thrilling announcement, huh?

[leonardfan40]

We’d have an advantage over every team except maybe the Chargers and Jaguars since the team should be very used to playing in front of 0 fans

By the time the season starts, the virus should be long forgotten, hopefully.  As for the NBA, they could fold for all I care.

Yeah, don't think the intent of the three was pnr, but the replies went that way.

if we don't take care of this soon, there will be a blackout in every stadium. But hey, as long as it doesn't affect the economy..............which we all know it will, except the fool in charge!

Here is a video, from an expert on medicine and viruses.

It's possible, this truly could last 16 months to 2 years, which is how long it could possibly take for a vaccine to be made that's safe for everyone to take.

I hope it doesn't.

It's not as deadly as the Spanish Flu, but it's so highly contagious that if your breathed on by an infected person, there is a chance that you now have it.

Since they now believe it to be caught through mainly airborne pathogens, washing your hands does little to actually help against this disease.

Young people, especially children seem to be unfazed by it.

Most cases involving children show little to no complications from it. Though doctors are unsure of why that is.

It appears to be a death warrant for long term smokers, especially if they have pre existing conditions.

Most of the Chinese people who died were elder man, who had been long term smokers.

My guess is they're hoping that isolationism will contain it.

Worse case scenario is probably having all 7.7 billion people getting infected and if death rates (I keep hearing anything from .7 to 2 percent) remain consistent about 144 million people could die.

The only good that would come from that is that our own bodies system would create antibodies against it and would likely contain it for a couple generations.

It's sad, but anybody hoping this is a two week to four week thing is probably wrong.

Some of it is media hype, like it being "incurable." For most 98 percent it wouldn't be a death sentence and would be just like any flu, but 2 percent is a lot of people, especially if it happens to be your family.

Though I hope for everybody's sake that they're right and it does pass soon.

Everybody be safe out there!

PBS will be packed with fans coming out to see Burrow's Bengals....

It's actually above 3% (currently)

We finally get a star QB again and there will be no draft weekend and no nfl season. Just our luck.

[Shouldamapads]

Wouldn't be mad if it takes off in Pittsburgh and thins the heard of douchebaggery fans.

Only in the USA do we blame our President for a virus that originated in China as he acted swiftly banning China from entering the USA. Look back in history of how other President's handled health crisis and you you will see we are very lucky Trump is in charge this time around.

As for empty stadiums, I think MLB is in much bigger danger to eliminate fans.

This isn't the place for politics. If you are focused on boosting the President visit P&R.

But if you want to tear him down, by all means continue.

When did this board become CNN, MSNBC, and those other fake oulets?

Fair enough, make sure you also focus on posts against the POTUS or else you are a hypocrite. I responded to a shot taken.

There is a 10 page thread on coronavirus in P&R, have at it.
