Golf can be played without fans and most importantly with players keeping a distance between then.

Football can be played without fans as well. However, the problem is the NFL is a National games with many teams from many states. And many states with a large population spread around them is the problem. Unless there is a national lockdown for 2 months this disease will keep spreading around and wont go away. NY has got it bad but as that subsides it will get hold in another state or another few states who knows. It will keep bouncing around. Football teams travelling around different states mean sooner or later a team member will get it and spread it around the team and may well put the whole team out of action or at a huge disadvantage. Then it will be 2 or 4 teams that get it. The disease wont die in the US unless all the borders are shut and everyone is forced to stay in their house for 2 months and rarely allowed out with the military distributing supplies in hot virus areas and the like. Or unless a vaccine or cure is figured out.

Sorry but the news aint good and as far as it looks the US government policies are lame at the moment. In the last two or three weeks 1/5 of the number of soldiers who died in the Vietnam war over a period of 8 years or so have died. In three weeks. The news you are facing is grim and because of that it is very unlikely that the NFL is will start this year.

Maybe if they all quarantined all of the players from now until the playoff it could happen. But as I hear on the Zone all the time - Fat chance of that happening.

A lot of deaths too are being miscalculated towards it as well. Hell there's a big story about a kid who died and they said it was because of covid-19 , now turns up to be a lie.

Baseball will be back in full swing this summer. Book it

Well, we will see. I don't wish to take an unrealistic approach. The virus continues to spread here with 50,000 confirmed cases and, to date, 5,000 deaths. And that is in a matter of weeks.

He called you Geese Man bwahahahahahaha

Geeze that's not a bad epithet. Those geese are downright vicious! Some folk keep them in place of guard dogs.

This is why the 49ers and Chiefs will do well in the 2020 season. Continuity of players and systems. Off season program and camp will be shortened or non existant, giving teams with running games, returning OL and qb's an advantage. Teams with a new HQ, new defensive or offensive system, or new qb will struggle.

This is why I think the Niners should trade down slightly from pick 13, and pick 31. Pick up 4 players to develop. WR, CB, OL, as top priorities with DT, S, and OLB following

At some point the country has to go back to work and life back to semi-normal or else the loss of life will be far greater than Covid will produce. At some point, it will just have to become a part of life and those who get it and have severe symptoms will have to deal with it while the rest of society goes on, like with any illness. A break down of society is far more dangerous.

Agree 100%. I honestly can't believe what sissies we have become in America. I mean do people want some kind of world where nobody ever dies? It doesn't exist. Old people die. Immune compromised die. You try to slow that down as much as possible but it still happens. It's like they want people to live 10,000 years disease free. There is no such thing. It does not exist. Societies have always carried on even with diseases. Throughout all history.

How very caring. Societies, when they started to become civilised, have indeed carried on even with diseases. But they have tried to deal with the diseases and minimise the impact. This, to you, is becoming sissies. Know what? I don't recall reading anyone in this thread suggesting that they want a world where no one ever dies or that they want people to live 10,000 years. Only you, Is the Coronavirus inconveniencing you? Oh shame.

WININER, at some point it will indeed become a part of life. The current situation is buying us time to develop vaccines, treatments etc. But the main reason why we are in the current position is to stop health services becoming overwhelmed and swept away by the sheer numbers of patients. This is a new aggressor against which the entire race had, to begin with, no defence at all. Several national health services including for example Italy's, have come close to collapse due to a combination of massive influxes of patients combined with, temporarily or permanently, losing their trained staff to the same virus. Once a tipping point is reached, society as a whole comes under extreme stress and the future becomes unpredictable.

But that is a small price to pay for avoiding becoming sissified.

This is precisely what the English (and Chinese) want...

You need to worry more about what that nice Mr Putin wants.

Nowhere in there did I say I didn't care. Nowhere in there did I say I didn't want to help flatten the curve. That's fine. But at some point after we flatten this curve young people and medium aged people need to go back to work. I mean we can hide in our house for the next 25 years non stop. I don't think you can run a society like that and it's certainly no way to live life. Further their models and metrics for this thing were way off. They had social distancing and lockdown built into those models. So you can't say that's why it's happening. It's less deadly than they thought.

So when the curve gets flat enough people need to go back to work and life. Elderly and immune compromised shelter in place and use their masks and gloves. Plus give them whatever medical care they need.

Agreed. I've never seen people so ok with a depression. 30% unemployment oh too bad this is inconveniencing you. Can you really talk being a caring society with that lousy of an attitude about how you're going to recklessly financially destroy everyone?

One more time. Current measures are not designed to change society. As usual you exaggerate your argument ridiculously, nobody is suggesting that society shuts down for 25 years hiding. Separation is not intended for that, as has been made very clear by medical authorities, scientists etc. It is designed to protect the health services from being overrun and swept away by the tidal wave of infections. It buys us time to develop treatments, inoculations and so forth. Regarding the degree of deadliness, you have been denying the seriousness of Coronavirus from day 1. The current toll is 88,000 dead and 48,000 in serious or critical condition. And that is with the Chinese government figures which are, in the West, generally accepted as being massively reduced for propaganda purposes.

That's not even a blip on the radar screen. That's nothing compared with other diseases. Common flu has still killed more as has car accidents, heart attacks, old age, cancer, diarrhea and so many others. The numbers are not squaring with what they said. The social distancing and lockdown was built into the models. So you can't say it's that. First they said millions. Then they said hundreds of thousands. I'm talking US here. Everybody now admits neither of those are true. They think their original models are wrong. Some scientists now think Coronavirus has been here in California for a lot longer than they thought and there is already some herd immunity built up. It's simply not as deadly as they thought. Although it is an issue to the elderly and immune compromised. So I'm glad to help them out and if we need to some more fine. But there needs to be some end limit to this thing. A go time where we re enter society and carry on. Glad we could help lower the curve for a time.
