Coronavirus and sports

Mark Cuban on CNBC just now said there's an option available for the NBA to resume this summer. NHL could do the same.

Talk to them on the phone for a month or so and be sfe after that your probably good. Of tour worried at putting tour "at risk " family members in danger just wait a month or so to see them.

This action you suggest makes it very different than every and any other virus.
In flu season, do you take these actions?
During H1N1, did you take these actions?
During SARS, did you take these actions?

I think the answer to all of these is no, thus this is very, very different.

There is a test in law for an interlocutory injunction. Incredibly overly simplified, the key part of the test is what is the better wrong decision, in regard to irreparable harm.

Here:

Get rid of the two "correct" decisions in the test. Meaning, shut down saves lives which would have been lost, and no shut down occurs and no lives are lost.

Then analyse the two "wrong" decisons.

Wrong decision one: We overreact and shut down leagues and cities, there is no large spread, and there would not have been one had we not invoked the shut down.
That outcome is good, and any harm is repairable.

Wrong decision two: We do nothing, there is a massive spread, with thousands and thousands of deaths.
That outcome is terrible, and any harm is completely irreparable as people are dead.

The decision is, and should be, easy.

I’d recommend anybody to watch the Joe Rogan show from March. 10th.

That is possible, but I would imagine unlikely based on how the immune system functions. The second time you get it you'd likely have some immunity from the first infection- maybe not complete immunity, and you'd still be contagious... You are correct though, we need more data to fully understand what immunity looks like with COVID-19.

And I’m sure they will. It’s important to note that seasons are being suspended and not outright cancelled.

There alredy releasing the majority that suffered from it go as they have already revovered from it with no sysmptoms.

Current German population: 82.79 million.
Up to 70% potential to be infected: 57.953 million
3.6% mortality rate: 2,086,308 deaths.

If you aren’t going to read any actual info, at least proof read your posts.

I have no idea where people are getting this "very young" thing from. No child under 10 has died, and I think it's up to 2? under 19.

It's just one person in this thread - who clearly hasn't educated themselves on any of it.

Resume late May, award the cup in late July.

Draft at the tail end of July. Open free agency August 1st.

Then shorten next season and delay the start by 30 days or whatever in order to give players a break before starting up again.

Draft would need to be rescheduled and some sort of Royal decree from the league for contracts to not end on July 1 this year.

[Johnny Makarov]

Wonder how this will affect player bonuses.

[CalgaryFan1988]

I wonder how I would feel if the Flames would have given up a first round pick for a rental, only to have the season canceled.

It is very likely that this will be a process rather then an event. We can expect public health concerns to last months rather then weeks until some for of immunity is developed whether through science or the hard way.

Tomorrow. Do your research and quit spreading misinformation! People gonna be all panicky on the roads today for no reason!

[Northendzone]

it would be interesting to see how continuing the NBA season in the summer would impact the following season? You can't have guys coming off a final and then resting for two weeks and get going again.

would also be interesting to know if these leagues have business continuation insurance and if there is payouts there

The Dome is totally booked for big concerts (that make more money).

Firstly, young people aren't affected. Secondly, and I can't believe I'm having to explain this but can you not comprehend what a 3.6% mortality rate looks like when 70% of the population is infected? 10% of people with the disease require hospitalization. Our healthcare system is currently operating at near capacity, it doesn't take a genius to realize what the ripple effects of this could be. Get your head out of your ass.
