Take awhile but normal maybe in a few months.But very bumpy for small businesses and even cities and counties that get an entertainment tax.Ugly few weeks.

Yeah that is the question, how long will it go in.  Containment will make it last longer but hopefully cause less deaths.

All we have to do is do what China did. Shut down the country for 2  1/2 months, weld people into their homes, sanitize the country Ans nobody can come out until virus is gone.  And here you are saying you won’t make any changes to your routine. 

Well we aren't a Communist country, so there's that. (yes, I went there)

I didn’t suggest we do any of those things. I am not sure why you continue to discount the seriousness of the situation. Yeah we won’t do what China did. And that is good. I don’t want to be welded into my house but your I am going to do my normal routine and everyone is overreacting is tiresome. Italy has closed every commercial enterprise besides grocery and pharmacies.

This is the most dangerous situation for the world since WW2.

No one is sure what will happen.During Ebola,we had a whole floor at Hopkins reseeved for patuents but it never came to that.Viruses behave not according to any script. Mutate and sometimes disappear for no apparent good reason. 1918 flu is a good example.

So, you're not suggesting that the US do what China did?  I'm confused...

You were mentioning that China was back to normal but we aren’t going to do what China did and no one wants us to so why make light of the situation here. 
 

And I read what scientists are saying. They do say to have two weeks of food on hand in case you are too sick to leave your home.

How do you get that hat? Does it help control the virus?

More good news from one ofthe best ,if not the best research hospital at least in this country. 

 

 

That is good news about the test. I went to patient first when I last had the flu and they were able to tell me I tested positive in fifteen minutes.  They even told me which strain I had. I wonder why they can’t do this with Coronavirus.

I thought people were overreacting to Ebola the whole time. And I said it made no sense to be scared of it as it made no sense.  The death rate on this, the slow onset and how easy it is to spread is what makes this one the deadly one.  Plus the high rate of hospitilazition.

    • Per Roch, Selby is the call up today, with Davidson presumably DFA.   Guessing today’s pitching looks like:  - Suarez (2-3 IP)  - Webb (1 IP)  - Soto (1 IP)  - Dominguez (1 IP)  - Coulombe (1 IP)  - Selby (2 IP) Bowman fills in gaps as needed.
    • Holliday and Henderson is going to be an elite top 2 in the lineup.
    • He’s also replaced the leg kick with a toe tap. At least with two strikes I noticed. 
    • Last year, of 8 WC teams: - 5 went with 12 pitchers - 2 went with 11 pitchers - 1 went with 13 pitchers I expect the Orioles to go with 12 pitchers. Given how Detroit mixes and matches pitching, we need to have enough platoon options.   I do think there is value in having more pitchers, even if it’s just an extra guy for mop up duty that saves pen in blowout game 2 so we aren’t running on fumes in game 3. However, I think 14 position players and 12 pitchers is the right balance for the wild card series.
    • I don't think this is true.  He's struck out 3 times a few times and gone 0-4 several times and 10 posts haven't been made. I hope he has a nice view from the bench during the playoff series and gets an at bat here or there if we're up big or getting blown out.  I'd like to see him put in a lot of work this offseason and start 2025 on fire.
    • I’m not sure why people continue to ignore the ages of Norby and Stowers and how that effected their value. The Marlins received a 21 and 23 year old for Puk. Of course the Marlins still ended up with our 2 “old guys” but that was a last minute trade. They may not have known they would deal Rogers at the time and Puk was dealt earlier and may have carried more value. That said, it’s very possible Elias valued the long term starter over the short term reliever..and I agree that’s a mistake.
    • Ok so not to beat a dead horse, but AJ Puk got me thinking. I know hindsight is 20/20 and I’ve got a Gator bias, but to my eyes, what the Dbacks gave up for AJ Puk is comparable to what we gave up for Soto or Rogers. If you’re Elias, why not target someone like this on the Marlins if you’re already scouting Rogers? It just highlights for me Elias’ failure to address the bullpen with ML acquistions (deadline or FA). It is becoming a real ding to putting us over the top thus far and is definitely the biggest concern we have going into this postseason. I came away satisfied enough at the deadline but can’t help but wonder if we perhaps could have combo’d getting Rogers and Puk with an additional fringe top 10 throw in? I’m still hoping that Rogers gains a few ticks back on his heater (a la Tillman in 2012) and that our bullpen will perform OK in these playoffs. But as much as I love Elias, I’m coming around to the fact that thus far, I think he’s made some head scratching decisions/non-decisions when it comes to the bullpen.
