There better be. It really is ridiculous how they want to cancel everything now. We can't stay inside our homes for months on end.

I wish the pundits who, like the rest of us, have no idea how this is going to play out would just keep quiet.

Uhhh, I'm not so sure Kirk is ahead of the curve.  On anything.    

@Street Novelist @iLoveLamp Ya'll better just prepare for the long haul with this. 

If things arent basically back to normal by August, this country and World are in BIG trouble. I myself dont see things being like they are now past May. And businesses and other things i see starting to open in a couple weeks. Fact is, things have to go forward and start getting back to normal or things will really get bad. Risk vs reward eventually will kick in. The virus will be around. Right now its about trying to ease burden on healthcare. Eventually it will end. People will just say F it, either i go back to work and risk it, or stay at home, be afraid, and wait for everything to be taken from me and become homeless.

I  don't know about the football games actually being played but I'd be shocked to see fans in packed stadiums this coming season. I sure hope it's somewhat back to normal by August but unless this turns out to be a big nothing burger or they develope a vaccine and treatment, you won't find me rubbing elbows with 90,000 fans.

By working to not overwhelm hospitals, morgues, crematoriums by flattening the curve, we are spreading out the disease over a longer time. 

The alternative is > 1.5% of the infected, which would be somewhere around 70% of the population before herd immunity would kick in, dying along with whatever number of people die from not being able to get treated in hospitals for other health problems or emergencies because we've overrun all medical facilities and staff with coronavirus.  That's 3,433,500 dead just from the virus if they died at the rate they are now, while we still have ventilators and protective equipment left.  We wouldn't have enough for long, so you could expect that ratio of death to infected to rise significantly.

Do you think life just goes back to normal if we kill off more than 5 civil war's worth of Americans in the next couple months?

Worrying about not having football this fall seems a bit childish.

Relax. There is also plenty of concern being shown about more important things. We can’t be expected to constantly be overly serious about things. It’s already quite the adjustment with the other changes society is experiencing. If you don’t want to see discussion of the possible impact on football, probably shouldn’t visit a site operated for that purpose.
