I'm making sure I have on a mask and gloves when I log on in here and post. Then wash my hands afterwards.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
SKULL SESSION: DWAYNE HASKINS IS STILL THE ANSWER IN WASHINGTON, MICHIGAN STATE IS ACCUSED OF CHEATING, AND THE CORONAVIRUS KILLS THE IVY LEAGUE TOURNAMENT
THE END. The Ivy League may have been trying to do what's best for its players, but instead, they've got a whole collection of kids who had their hearts ripped from their chests with no warning.
For the seniors, they just showed up at practice, and then their careers were over instead.
“It wasn’t supposed to end like this,” Brodeur said. “We worked hard enough that we knew this wasn’t how it was going to end. At least another game.
“It’s so clear that there’s a disconnect between the actual athletes and the administration, the people running [the Ivy League],” he continued. “Not that they don’t know what they’re doing. They don’t understand the repercussions of how this affects the athletes, what they were working for, what they would do for one more game.”
...
The women’s players, in response, have started a petition to reinstate the tournaments, calling “the hypocrisy of our Ivy League presidents baffling and alarming.” They’ve communicated with players at Columbia and Yale, the two other women’s teams affected, who have also signed. Princeton, the regular-season champion who received an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as a result, will not sign, according to Grasela. But captains from other schools will. Men’s players will.
They just want to play. Anywhere. Fans or no fans. “The pride to be able to put on a Penn uniform, and play for our teammates, and be in a competitive atmosphere, at that time, you start to black out all the noises, and all the fans,” Grasela said. “You’re really playing for the four people that are standing beside you, and everyone on the bench.
“I’d play outside,” Grasela said. “Put on some Converse, find a hoop. Doesn’t even have to have a net.”
The most insane part is that they just straight-up didn't have an answer for why they couldn't have just played the tournament with no spectators. Instead, they just weirdly insisted that "costs were absolutely not a factor in this decision."
Sure.

Social distancing is the only way to stop the coronavirus. We must start immediately.
The second fact is that this disease is deadlier than the flu, to which the honestly ill-informed and the wantonly irresponsible insist on comparing it. Early guesstimates, made before data were widely available, suggested that the fatality rate for the coronavirus might wind up being about 1 percent. If that guess proves true, the coronavirus is 10 times as deadly as the flu.

Checked the CSSE dashboard at JHU this morning and noticed a 3% uptick since yesterday, with the US spiking from 700 cases to 1000 overnight, and Seattle reporting now 23 dead against 273 confirmed cases, which is a mind-boggling 8.4% mortality rate -- which illustrates what happens when this virus sweeps through a nursing home.
The total numbers being reported would also indicate a slight uptick in total mortality world wide from 3.4% to 3.6% today. If this is not contained ASAP in Washington or New York states we'll reach the point of real crisis where hospital beds and respirator/breathing assistance equipment will be unavailable, and the mortality rate will acutely spike as it had in Hubei and has this morning in Italy, where the death rate has escalated to 6.2%.

This is total BS because now it is affecting me. Zach Brown Band and Amos Lee at Nationwide Friday night now postponed. Guess my wife and I will just have to find a bar with a TouchTunes I can pump money into.
