Depressing read in SI: Bursting the Bubble, Why Sports Aren't Coming Back Soon.
Oof. Man don’t know if I can take this.
https://www.si.com/mlb/2020/04/10/sp...ming-back-soon The NBA, NFL and MLB are dreaming up ways to play amid a pandemic, with talk of isolating players in Arizona or Las Vegas or maybe on the moon. It all sounds great, until you talk to people who actually know science. |

I think it's ok to say "we just don't know when sports will come back, we're still learning about this". Saying no football when it's 4 months from now seems pretty tough to do.

No sports until every state that hosts a professional sports team says it's okay and even then, it'll most likely be without fans. Unfortunately, this is our new reality. |

No way there's going to be people in stadiums unless they reduce to 10% capacity and spread everybody out. They'll just have to play the games without a crowd and I really just don't see how you can even have teams together until everybody has immunity and that ain't happen this year.

Why go out and do anything ever? Covid isn't just going to "die out". America gonna freak out every time the media reports a new case? Because unless the virus just ceases to exist then everyone will be afraid of every goddamn thing.
**** it, just cancel everything from here on out forever. Bye NFL. Bye MLB. Bye NBA. Might as well. Cuz this aint gonna stop with Covid19. We're not even past Covid19 yet and people are all over social media talkin' up the next humanity ending virus.

I posted this last week in the CV thread and it was widely ignored.
People are mostly unwilling to deal with the facts. |

Let’s not devolve into straw man arguments. I think it’s more about waiting for a vaccine... which sucks hard.

Polio is not in the family of coronavirus.
These are coronaviruses.

It's not a straw man at all...
