You don’t care care hat 60k+ Americans will die this month! Sad! If

Many scientists think COVID-19 is probably less deadly than the flu based on how infectious it is and how many asymptomatic/mild cases have gone unreported.
Food for thought
Many health officials say you can’t get pregnant if you do it in the shower.

Gotta love reading both extremes.
The ones who think this is a nothingburger hoax or the ones who think we should be shut down inevitably.
If they are really going to let people into movie theaters by July I don't see why you can't have limited fans spaced a good deal apart at a game
Things have inevitably been shut down. Perhaps the word you’re looking for is indefinitely? I haven’t seen anyone on here call for that.

To the first quote above about deaths plateauing in many states: There were less deaths from yesterday to today than Monday to Tuesday for only two states in the top 20 reported cases. This concept of deaths plateauing is a little premature, IMO, when there have been 14k+ deaths this past week.
*All figures from JHU.

For those with children, what programs has your school system used for distance learning?

Personally I have known 2 people who have died of the flu in the last 5 years.
Don't know anyone who has Corona, much less died from it
Where do you live? My wife is from Long Island. The number of people we know who have it is in the double digits. The number of people are pretty sure they have it, but can’t/won’t get tested is approaching double digits.

Sorry Atomic, your pre-conceived notion that this would be what the "experts" initially thought just didn't come true.
What do we mean by this? Why are you speaking about COVId-19 in the past tense?

Golf is starting back up in June with no fans.
I know Golf isn't baseball but you would think MLB could practice some social distancing starting a season.
Hell, you can have them wearing masks If players are up to that.
Gonna be tough on the guys who still chew.

Dr. Fauci was hilariously wrong calling this a nothingburger on February 19.
I don't blame him since this was a new thing.
Do you have a link to this? The first I had heard of Dr. Fauci was early March and he was being criticized for taking it seriously.

Everyone and their mother knew baseball wouldn't start on time.
This has turned out to be nowhere near as bad as they thought with social distancing relating to deaths.
Schools will not reopen because by the time businesses will the school year will be done.
Things have changed. It would be very surprising If there is no baseball now.
Will there be fans? That's the big question. You would think If they play with no fans then they should all be in one location
That’s not exactly true. This thread started Feb 27 about two weeks before Gobert started touching the mics.

Yeah, some guys (Brooks) are way underrated and some guys are overrated. I’ve seen how they have updated throughout the month. Love the Robertson pick.

What do you think about Braun? He’s also expected to move inside. They might be able to move up in the second and get him
Baun had a diluted sample at the combine. He may end up dropping.

i just ran a few mocks with the PFF system, don't like it at all. it made all sorts of weird selections that would never happen in real life - chaisson at 45? jeudy at 3? c'mon.
the draftnetwork mock feels a lot more realistic.
I don’t have experience with those. I use first-pick. When a ton of simulations are done, you get some funky things from time to time. Like once, I saw a trade up to #1 to get Willis. Chances of that happening? Less than 1%, but when there are thousands of runs, things like that could pop up.

Kiper’s last mock for Ravens
28 Queen
55 Reagor
60 Hennessy
Hennessy would be an excellent pick. What’s your Center situation? I believe Hennessy has more value at center, but can play guard. Has some versatility and is nasty.

Yeah, I'd posted that before clicking the link. Me mentioning Craig Worthington was kind of a joke.
3B might be the biggest gap between 1st place and 2nd place in terms of these positional rankings....It's really Brooks way far out in front and then...everyone else.
Garrett Atkins would like a word.

I have seen pigeons in my yard the last several days. I wonder if the lack of people downtown has caused their food supply to dry up and they are now heading out further to look for food. Hopefully the rats don't follow them.
They will. I saw an article about that exact thing over the weekend. I also read that they cannibalize other rats when food sources are scarce.

We’ve talked about reported cases and have made guesses about the amount of testing. JHU is now reporting number tested and hospitalized. I wish they had been doing this all along, but am glad to see they are doing it now.

Tua
in NFL Football
He’ll get drafted in the first. I have no doubt. But I wouldn’t want to feel forced to take him. I think he could end up really struggling if he gets in a bad situation. He’s not going to stand up to the hits like Luck had to endure.

This is fun..lots of good ideas..anyone onboard with moving up and drafting Juedy? What would it take?
I can’t see Jeudy falling past Denver at 15, and could easily see him going to NYJ or Vegas earlier. So you’d be looking at moving up 13-17 spots. Likely would cost a 2nd rounder+.
-
Speaking of Cabrera, I’ll add in Adam Loewen. Injuries derailed him. Drafted two spots ahead of Greinke.

MLB suspended, Opening Day delayed indefinitely UPDATED

You do know that there is a flu A and a flu B, right?
I also had a flu shot and got the other flu this year. I was down for about four days. My doctor said that if I didn’t have a flu shot, I’d likely have been in the hospital.
