There are going to be so many things to iron out. If the season is canceled, do teams lose one year players service time. If the season is reduced, can guys like Mountcastle come right up and O's still get an extra year service from him? If the players aren't paid, can they technically be free agents next year (bet it is at least challenged)?

Y'all can shake your heads at this, but we were all her age once.  We had the same attitude.  We listened to nobody.

Yesterday the CDC recommending shutting down everything for 8 weeks, to let the virus run its course, and they dont expect it to be finish before July into August.

We shall see.No one knows for sure.Fauci sort of corrected the President and said maybe if we contain properly ,we can be out of it by sometime in May. We shall all see End up like South Korea, might be sometime in May ,at least getting towards an end.End up like Italy ,then who knows.Of  course,could just stop for awhile and come back in the fall.

In Hopkins, we had a whole floor set up for Ebola patients  Luckily it never got to that Ebola was more deadly but less contagious.

Your right, very uncharted territory for sure.

I think watching the briefer, it was we might be out of this by May, but wouldnt be surprise if this didnt run July/Aug.

Not me.I listened to my bible,politicians and the Oriole Bird .Not necessarily in that order.

They also said yesterday the millennials are  going to be the ones they need to stop the spread of this. They are young and fearless and feel healthy, so they keep going out and about and unknowingly infect others.

This seems like maybe they should try to work out something with the employees first . MLB players make good money and should be fine. The lower paid employees are the ones who would be in trouble with no income coming in. Also need to start refunding money for single game tickets purchased. Many people will be short on funds and a few extra dollars might come in handy. 

The league plans to turn its attention to payment for minor leaguers and stadium and team personnel once it’s through ironing out how to proceed with players who are on 40-man rosters, per Sherman.

I would say if you are a smoker it would be a great time to quit. This seems to take out smokers. Eat lots of Fruits and Vegetables. 

I believe you.  Do you have a link that shows this?  In other words, are you seeing a breakdown of the reported 85 U.S. deaths among age, gender, smoking history, other conditions, etc.

Its pretty simple, smoking attacks your respiratory system.

This is a respiratory virus, which attacks, you got it, the respiratory system.

very young, and over 60 is at risk of the virus.

Those elderly over 80 and even more at risk.

Health conditions also make you a risk.

No they were saying why death rate was higher for men and than women in China. 50 percent of men smoke in China and 2 percent of women.  Also they say that reason death rate is so low in Korea is mostly young women getting it as most were in that church group. And smoking rate among Women among Korean women is less than 5 percent. And Korean is one of youngest nations. 
 

While in Italy they are second oldest nation and 28 percent smoke.  Some suppose that smokers lungs are coated with substance that help virus bind.  This is all conjecture at this point.  
 

As this article states evidence points to worse condition for smokers but not proof yet but what do you have to lose by quitting smoking:

I’m over 60 but really don’t consider myself high risk.    I’ve never had a sick day at work in 37 years on the job.   

However, my wife had chemotherapy a few years ago and is definitely risk-sensitive, so I’m being very careful so that she won’t worry about me transmitting anything to her.
