Because there's not a short term answer here. This is going to be something we need to slowly open the taps back up on and be able to adjust back to keep things contained here and there. And because we just locked everything down, we have no idea if the 'simple' social distancing gave us 80% of the gains we made or not. If so, that's the obvious way to proceed. We don't know if we can open schools back up or restaurants. We don't know if bars w/ 50 people maximums would help enough to keep the curve reduced to manageable levels. And why? Because everyone made louder and more extreme predictions over and over again. So we never got a halfway decent control. We have no idea what is necessary or overkill because we never bothered to tailor an approach due to to hysterical models. It was terrible science and terrible policy. We learned nothing towards putting together a long-term plan. "Oh well, anything to make an omelet" is not an acceptable approach to this thing. |

Or are the models way off base as a reaction to our new way of life? |

It has the support of high-ranking federal public health officials who believe the league can safely operate amid the*coronavirus pandemic, sources told ESPN. Has the support of MLB and Players Union. You can all hide in the corner. These guys will be taking the field in 6-8 weeks. |

The models assumed we would be doing what we are and were way the **** off.

So no, they wouldn't have been 'right' had we done nothing because the results would've been based on a set of conditions they didn't put in place. The models are way off base - period. And because of how far off they were, we know nothing more about how to address this thing long-term. Hopefully there has been enough variation in approaches between the respective states that meaningful information can be derived from the responses, but its unlikely. |

Sports without fans will suck absolute monkey nuts...especially baseball all played in Arizona. Not buying the "better than nothing!" The crowds are the difference makers to me.

I will not be watching it. Of course it's a very horrible sport to watch on TV the way it is. Much less an empty stadium with no reactions to anything.
