OT: Corona virus thread-7 months later we're still screwed (MOD: NO POLITICS)

[panthersdu67]

Isn't it possible that they decide to suspend the season now and pick it up in a month or two. Like the All Star break but much longer. Would probably mean we would go on an even worse losing streak afterwards then... So I guess we're basically screwed whatever happens...

I went to publix last night, and it was pretty funny how every single roll of toilet paper was gone, but canned food was still plentiful. What do these people plan on using the toilet paper for if they starve?

So in Czech republic, they closed all schools and forbade gatherings of 100+ people, which sucks but okay, trying to prevent an epidemic here...
But now they're talking about shutting down pubs and restaurants after 8 p.m. and about banning gatherings of 10+ people - seriously?? We better ban my brother and his GF from visiting then - wouldn't want to break government regulation...

We currently have 94 confirmed cases in a 10 million people country.

I would love to watch hockey in July. I would hate to see BBT center electric bill to keep that f***er cool.

Finland has 109 confirmed, only one case in my region though. I'm fully expecting all schools to be closed any day now.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

If the season gets canceled, I'll always remember it as the time we were most definitely 100% going to make the playoffs and got screwed out of it.

Panthers season was tripped

Good thing I still have a compromised immune system from my bone marrow stem cell transplant in December 2018

Doctors said at the time and should take two years to fully get back to 100%

I've basically been in quarantine since December of 2018, thought it was basically over. Guess not

That sucks man. Fingers crossed that evil virus stays away from you.

On NBCSN last night one of the issues that was discussed was that freezing and starting the playoffs was a problem due to teams having played a different amount of games.

They said the NHL would be making a statement today...

 

[Sportpsych90]

I have to drive down to Miami every morning for my internship from Coral Springs area. Today was the first time it took under an hour to get here in the morning. Hardly any traffic, people are already not going to work. Wonder how soon before we have a more complete shutdown.

 

[letsgrowcactus]

Chance Liga (Czech2) season finished early. Playoffs that were supposed to decide which two teams could advance to Extraliga were cancelled - teams voted that the team that finished 1st will advance directly (to be fair, they've more than earned it, winning 50/58 matches this season)

Slovakia top league season cancelled.

Czech republic officially bans any events of 30+ people and all pubs and restaurants are closed at 8 p.m.

This is unreal.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Finland has 109 confirmed, only one case in my region though. I'm fully expecting all schools to be closed any day now.

Government now recommending not to organize events with over 500 participants.

RIP student parties.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

The salary cap issue for next year is interesting. There's speculation that it would go down and if that happens, I don't know how teams would accommodate. Imagine if they allow a compliance buyout... bye Bob.

 

[RogerRoger]

I’ve read 30-70 %. And the death rate has been 1-4% right? Scary math

We'll have to see the stats from South Korea, but some are estimating the death rate to be between 0.1 to 1%. More people contract the virus than are reported, hence the lower death rate.

 

[CatscratchFever]

If course the season doesn't freeze when the Panthers actual held a PO spot.

 

[Panteras]

I live in Seattle, drop in traffic has been noticeable . University is closed. Not many people at the gym as usual. Yeah it’s weird times. My work involves seeing clients, lot have already cancelled or said they can’t meet with me. Don’t blame them. I have a trip to Portland next week, wonder how many will cancel on me. I had a trip to Croatia planned with my fiancé for week after and welp...we can’t go now...

South-Korea is more prepared than anyone else, they're an outlier.

The main issue is if you need hospitalization. The estimated hospitalization rate is around 10%. Even at a low end infection rate, let's say 30% of population, you'll quickly see what a massive problem it will be. There simply won't be enough hospital beds available, which results in a higher death rate. In Italy it's estimated around 5-8%.

 

[RainingRats]

Terrible response from government in US making things worse. Italy is foreshadowing what is going to happen here. Shut everything down for 2-3 weeks and let’s deal with the short term economic pain. Gotta go all in to try to stop the spread. Half ass measures don’t work. It’s actually pretty straightforward on how to manage this. Social distancing/quarantine everyone.




Great read.

Jets miss the playoffs by .1, the chances Florida was going to make it weren't great anyways imo

I can tell you, Canada is doing f***all at the moment and just hoping it blows over.

Ugh. Not good

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

It's too bad they couldn't have waited one week, NJD and Detroit coming up, Toronto played Nashville and Boston...
