MLB suspended, Opening Day delayed indefinitely UPDATED

Hope for baseball and my friend 

 

Got this test today;

This thing is brutal.
7th day in hospital. 
Lost 15-20 pounds. 
Still not breathing on my own. 
Now I know what torture
feels like. 17 days sick.
SLOWLY getting 
better. 
Still here.

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.

Really sorry to hear this.   I hope things are looking up for you.   Please let up know how you are doing.    God bless you.

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.

So....Florida governor has declared sports in his state essential business.  WWE resumes live shows, wondering if this helps MLB move to their May start date.

Are fans essential?

No, it states "employees at professional sports and media production with a national audience can continue only if the location is closed to the general public."  I still find it interesting what we consider, or what states consider essential businesses.  https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/13/us/wwe-essential-business-trnd/index.html

That is crazy that they haven’t refunded tickets yet.  Someone should contact their states attorney to investigate this.  

How about this one, my radio subscription for MLB just autorenewed last week.

Why did you let it?

Because their default settings when you sign up for it auto renew and they make it really hard to unsubscribe from that.  I just reupped that subscription last year after having not used it for a few years.  My guess is last year I just thought I will deal with it next year, and then next year rolled around and the world went to hell and I forgot about it.

Call them up and cancel.  If they don’t let you cancel dispute with your credit card company. Sirius radio bills you before your re-up date and you can cancel as soon as you see increased charge.  They will always give you a lower rate if you call in.  Perhaps get mlb radio from them.
