The biggest issue with COVID-19 isn't that "X amount of people die from the flu every year, so what's the big deal?", it's that when this sucker hits a patient hard, that patient needs a ventilator and such to have a chance to survive, and there simply isn't enough equipment or beds available for tens of thousands of people, let alone, millions. There are so many "Ifs" out there, too. You'll most likely be okay if you get the virus IF you're healthy and IF your immune system isn't compromised. But IF you're elderly or IF you have pre-existing conditions like asthma or COPD or any other lung disease or IF you have Diabetes Type I or IF you have high blood pressure that isn't controlled by meds or IF you have cancer or IF you're doing chemotherapy or radiation or IF you're not healthy, your risk of getting the disease is much greater, as is the risk of dying. That's a lot of IFS and most of them are pretty shitty. |

So this virus has the potential to infect a ton of people. So while most people will survive because there is no vaccine it has the potential to kill a lot of people. Another issue this also has the potential to have a devastating effect on the economy. |

And while the grandeur of the draft would be slightly affected, the bottom line is that the league earns its money from the draft via TV and more importantly, Prime Time TV. While we most likely won't see 20ish players at the draft walk onstage, the other 300 or so watch from home so outside of the people in attendance, it should be business as usual. |

I know. That's not what I'm requesting. I'm requesting some kind of daily logs from infected people (of all sorts). |

The good thing is that the freeways are dead in LA, which is absolutely freaking bizarre. I've never heard this town so quiet, not after Northridge, really never. It's really, really weird. The bad thing is that it might be futile, as there's probably been a run on the stores this morning. Costco opens at 10am and I'm heading up shortly but I'm expecting an epic disaster. |
