You know guys, combustiblefuel does make a good point.

Not much point in rushing to predict when the season will start again or how long the suspension will last.

The point now is to take some heavy actions to mitigate and gauge the spread of the virus before making more decisions.

Suspending the season or suspending operations? That is a huge difference.

Actually, your first point is wrong.

The number of young people affected are to a much smaller degree but there are still children and even babies contracting the virus, although I don't believe any deaths have occurred

Sorry, poor wording on my part. Young people are not at risk the way the elderly are, and based on the data they are the least at risk group.

The Doctor on Joe Rogan said this will go on 3-6 months minimum. I don't see how they can have playoffs this year if that's the case.

Golf is all that’s left. How long will they go? Stuck at home and no sports sucks. Least of our problems I know, but this is the sports thread.
