COVID-19 - Leagues Suspended

We are in peak cold and flu season (and with the warmer weather allergy season has come earlier too). Basically every item that could make people sick is here, which is making it so hard to diagnose COVID because of overlapping symptoms with those more benign seasonal sicknesses.

It’s the damn allergy season that has me most pissed off.... something so relatively benign is creating all kinds of false flags each night for me and family. Just want to get to a point in the year where any sort of symptom will have really only one diagnosis. Less anxiety will result.

interesting enough, after that game, i sprayed lysol on all my clothes, phone, keys, bottom of my shoes and everything. Then washed my clothes in the laundromat as i was so paranoid. My job allowed us to buy monitors to use at home as they think this might take months and not weeks. No symptoms whatsoever but who knows if i already have it.

My mother said her friend (who is a principal at a public school) said they are preparing to not even reopen school this session. Might not be until after end of may, even june, it seems.

Yeah. I saw that. Both depressing and realistic. Though I remain hopeful, I am leaning to think normal does not return in 2020.

ETA: I think if the current shutdowns work and we limit this thing to numbers lower than we currently fear, then people will react positively and credit the measures taken and the people who ordered them.
But, if as that thread suggests, we cannot return to normal until a working vaccine and/or antiviral is developed, then I also worry that people might not be able to handle the possibly necessary long term suppression efforts over several months and even a year+.

I'm not sure it's reasonable to do this for 18 months. Frankly, I'm not sure our work-til-you-drop culture can handle this for more than a month. I hope we can, but I'm not optimistic.

Well here's the thing -- NYC thinks we hit our peak in 45 days. That mean it's not completely flushed from the system for another 45 days after that. We're looking at June 15 before we can even think about getting back to normal. So yes, I think in-person schooling is over for this semester. Hopefully by summer we can start to turn the country back on.

What’s not reasonable about it? It’s absolutely reasonable. We’re not displaced by war. We’re not displaced by famine. We’re not being turned out from our homes and forced into being refugees with only the clothes on our backs.

Does this suck. Yes. Is it an inconvenience. Yes. Will lives change. Yes. Are our kids going to suffer. There is that chance it could imprint them and missing school is critical to early development. But that why we find ways to overcome it. It won’t be easy, and it’s going to take sacrifices, but the world has changed in a matter of days/weeks/months and it’s not going back until a vaccine is developed and is successful. That, or we all get it and make enough antibodies that we don’t catch it again next year - while also mourning the millions not as fortunate.

Flushing from the system will be more than another 45 days from the peak. Virus last upwards of 11-14+ days, so if testing isn’t widespread for anybody needing it to confirm their symptoms, there will still be carriers able to infect, and that’s only those symptomatic. If they’re asymptomatic, then only testing will push them to quarantine - they’re the x-factor with how long this goes.
 
Evidently GenZ isn’t as invincible as they want to believe. As low as 20 is making the cut for this statistic. Too bad those dipshits on Spring Break didn’t heed the warnings - we’re all gonna suffer for it.

Younger Adults Make Up Big Portion of Coronavirus Hospitalizations in U.S. — The New York Times

New C.D.C. data shows that nearly 40 percent of patients sick enough to be hospitalized were age 20 to 54. But the risk of dying was significantly higher in older people.

Yeah that’s my thing I usually get a cold or a flu when ever it goes from hot to cold or vice-versa. So that’s what’s making it so hard to really pinpoint if it’s COVID-19 or if it’s just that time for me to get sick again.

Financially, our economy can't survive 18 months of no businesses open and everyone working from home. It would take us decades to recover from. It's just not feasible. I don't know what the answer is -- clearly we're doing the right thing right now. Clearly this is the right thing to do for the next 3 months. That becomes less fuzzy in July when we need to start digging out from the abyss our economy is going to be in. There comes a point when life needs to continue. Again, I don't know what the answer is. Maybe I'm wrong, I just don't see how it's feasible to do this for 6-18 months.

For what it’s worth we had a big slowdown yesterday. We actually have some leftover product going into today which hasn’t been the case in the last week. Primarily in produce. Seems to be the case across the board down here in our stores. Not as much with non perishables.
I think people have either given up on checking or a lot of people have what that need.

Thats a good sign isn’t it? Also stay safe out there. Glad my job gave us off because we see some really nasty stuff and have to handle the same products that people touch because they’re displays/demos.

I think it's the latter. But if I were you or your store I'd prepare for this to happen in multiple waves. Soon, people won't have what they need and if I had to guess, people will eat the food at generally the same rate...

This wasn't all that surprising, but I guess the interesting takeaway for me is that the league apparently has a plan in place to still play a full 34-game season.

which is crazy ....i mean we are screwed at YS but i mean other shared venues surely will have issues with NFL season.also if it it goes deep in december like half the league attendance will drop badly.
