A great deal of the available data is coming from countries outside the US ... including China.
One shouldn't ignore that information, but it ought to be evaluated in context. For example, not only was China completely unprepared for the outbreak, once they discovered what they were dealing with, they botched their response in a variety of ways. It's reasonable to speculate that their data skews the problem negatively. It's also a reality that the US health care system is meaningfully superior to China's. When it comes to America, at this point in time I'm more concerned with the effects of panic than the bug itself. FAX |

Have they shut down the league like this before? I remember a time in the 90’s when all those aliens stole the talent from the players and they shut down for a little while but this is just crazy! The players still have their talents, right?

The problem here is that the hysteria is spreading faster than the virus itself. No one's allowed to err on the side of non-hysterical or they'll get trashed by the herd.
If this continues at its current pace, the entire country/economy will shut down. It's much the same when the housing bubble happened. They swung around so hard on not lending that the market took twice as long to recover. I get that it's a bad ass virus, but what can really be done about it? Really? The more we worry about it, the worse we'll be off in the long run. Chances are, we're all going to get it eventually. And chances are, we won't even know we have it. As far as testing goes, this is a farce too. Where would we get 330 million kits? And even if we had an antidote, how long will it take to produce enough? You can get tested today and get the virus tomorrow! I say carry on as normal. I know many will disagree but that's my take. If we continue on like this, everyone of us will be unemployed. It's stupid. |
