Honestly pretty much every public event will need to be cancelled for the next month at least. At this point I do not believe we will see baseball games until mid April at least.

RaidersAreOne Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Sounds like at minimum 3 weeks suspension for the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger question is will the Corona Virus kill the XFL. Yes and maybe, I'd say. Vince McMahon was funding the first two seasons out of pocket, so they'll still keep playing - but they're going to lose a ton of their momentum.

In Wuhan, a city of 11 million people, only 80,000 (0.73%) people got it severely enough to need medical treatment, and only 3000 (3.8%) of them died, almost all either elderly or immune-compromised. And that's the worst affected city by a factor of ten. More cases than the rest of the world combined, and still fewer deaths than die of the seasonal flu every two days. Will they cancel the NFL? Maybe. Hysteria is powerful. But do they need to? Obviously not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. Hysteria is powerful. But do they need to? Obviously not. Wuhan completely went on lockdown though. Like completely. The streets were a ghost town, and everyone was wearing a mask if they even did go out. It's still like that. I can't imagine a place like Chicago, LA, NYC, or any other cosmopolitan doing that until it got really bad, if it ever did. This was a month ago in Wuhan: The government essentially had the largest quarantine in human history. Not just Wuhan, but the entire province which is like 12 cities. That's around 50 million people. The steps they took limited the spread of the disease to about 80% according to one study: https://www.livemint.com/news/world/covid-19-study-says-placing-wuhan-under-lockdown-delayed-spread-by-nearly-80/amp-11583923473571.html The USA is doing well in taking some initial steps to slow down the spread, which is what is important. Slow it down so that **** doesn't hit the fan and health organizations aren't overwhelmed. Cancelling public events like the draft, baseball games, basketball games, E3, parades, etc. is a good thing.

People continually call it "Hysteria" because of so far low infection numbers and compare it with the flu when that's not the point at all. The point is to keep infection numbers as low as we can to keep the system from being overrun given how quickly it's spreading and how every projection has this increasing to the point of being totally unmanagable if we DON'T do something. Angela Merkel literally said up to 70% of Germany is at risk of being infected, Italy is in lockdown because with 2,000 new cases in a single day, their health system was in danger of collapsing under it's own weight, in which case thousands of people will begin to die as the effects of overloading the system ripple out, causing a cascade that we cannot stop. You do these things because if you don't things get much, much worse, Taiwan and Singapore shut down all schools and public events immediately when they knew it was going to be this virulent and they are the two countries with the lowest infection rate. It's tiring seeing the same "hysterics" response from people who should know better. 2 hours ago, TENINCH said: If the NFL is cancelled I'm going to start pushing those bat eaters off of a cliff one at a time.
