I gotcha. PD tough.

Not so with May or June Madness. Make the call 3, 4, 6 weeks out when the trajectory is stable. Weather warmer.

.

I don't know why some of these events can't merely be postponed. We don't know where we will be in 3, 4, 5 weeks.

Sweet!

Troy Taylor & staff pulled off a remarkable turnaround, I'm sure a lot had to do with a stud QB and a seasoned coaching staff.

Cal Poly has a brutal schedule ... 2 FBS games, both Montana's, Weber State & the Aggies in their first 7 games.

My guess is first we get through it. Our Surgeon General today said "Lean into it." Hoping the dramatic CDC estimates are wrong.

Then I suggest a May or June Madness when we know we're out of the woods. (May Picnic Day?) Hotels, vendors, folks need to get back to work, and I think it would be a fabulous way to celebrate & cap off student-athlete's careers.

Why didn't we lose our minds over the Swine Flu, which had killed over 1,000 when President Obama declared it a national emergency?

Yes, some heads should roll at CDC. We're not Italy.

Does the Orange Man live in your head rent free? One positive statement of fact about our POTUS set you off. And our Pravda MSM has pushed numerous hoaxes on us while ignoring the SpyGate soft coup.

Will the world finally push China to actually shut down their filthy 'wet' markets? Or do we have to go through this every 5 years?

Pandemics Originating from China?

Wuhan Flu / COVID-19 (2019)
SARS (2003)
Hong Kong Flu (1968)
Asian Flu (1957)
Spanish Flu (1918)
Bubonic Plague

Correct! Our injuries at RB were so deep last year, I heard even Hawkins & Ronnie Austin were out. s/

Sac returns the vast majority of starters on both sides of the ball, & their prolific QB. They will be tough.

COVID Update:

Allegedly 0 new deaths in the US the past 24 hours.

Average age of COVID deaths in Italy - 82.

I made one comment complimenting one decision, and you lost it, as did cmt.

Education & information are good.

But why the 180 degree different approach by the media, which seems intent on driving a near hysteria? Look at the infections & deaths above from the Swine Flu! And why are people hoarding toilet paper?

[Edit.] And now this from China. A state-run media article in China, claimed that China could impose pharmaceutical export controls which would plunge America into "the mighty sea of coronavirus." More proof we need to bring home manufacturing of key pharmaceuticals.

Yes, hopefully Spring sports are suspended, not cancelled. And why not a - delayed - May Madness?

I just watched an excellent piece from 60 Minutes Australia. Some top scientists, and the highly controversial, possible vector - Chinese wet markets. Warning: graphic.

cmt, please save your name calling for someone else. (One statement of fact sends you off the deep end?)

wrote: "...White House over this absolutely unprecedented health crisis"

The Swine Flu (Obama Administration) infected 60 Million Americans, 300,000 were hospitalized, and we had no media frenzy. Unprecedented?

Deaths in the US:
Corona virus - 40
Swine flu - 12,500
Flu - 20,000 - 60,000 per year?

Bringing our prescription drug manufacturing home may also be wise.

Toke69 makes a great point. Besides, if we cancel school & kids hang out at the mall, how does that help?

I say postpone, don't cancel. May or June Madness!

OK, have been reading up on flattening out the curve. And thank goodness President Trump took decisive action in late January (while Democrats were trying to impeach him), and again in February to restrict travel from China & other hot spots.

Here's an idea. Why not put March Madness on hold ... not cancel it. If we see the Corona virus tailing off ...

May Madness? June Madness?

Arena's may need shifting, that's OK. Thoughts?

They can already transfer. You mean transfer & not have to sit a year?

So will future NCAA basketball seasons be canceled bc of the flu?

The flu contributes to the death of 20,000 to 60,000 people in the US every year.

What makes this different? Hysteria?

Hysteria?

FWIW, Jordan Ford at SMC fun to watch. They beat BYU last night.

Ridiculous. What do I have wrong?

Swine flu (US) killed 1,000+ in 6 months before Obama declared an Emergency.

Coronavirus in the US? 22 deaths so far.

Why can't they practice at Rec Hall?

So ICA took upper & lower Hickey from the students, Rec Hall, and now ARC?
