    There's going to be no school or practice all summer in all likelihood. And that means no football. This stuff should peak in a couple months, but it's not going to just go away.

    Well if we have to hunker down for too long there won't be an office for people to drive to when it's over and we will have a major economic collapse that will kill way more people than this virus.

    I think it dwindles away and will be completely gone by November 3, 2020 and we won't hear anything else about it again. Until maybe February 2024.

    I hope you are right and every other medical professional I have been talking to is wrong.

    Look at that map of where the 'rona ain't....

    And look at this map of where malaria is.... it's a promising coincidence, or malaria drugs work well against the virus.

    Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.

    They don't have many tests in Africa. Also, they're mostly poor -- very little travel between countries.

    Look at the Asian countries on the tropics. Look at South American countries.

    No it would not be safe for teams to play without crowds. Not football anyway. Golf probably. Basketball is a no. Baseball would probably be alright.

    That's a very vague number and hypothetical stat. See below.


    "Even in a best-case scenario, with cases of coronavirus spread out over 18 months, American hospital beds would be about 95% full. (This assumes that hospitals don?t free up already occupied beds or add more beds, as some elected officials have called for.) Some regions would have the capacity to handle the surge in hospitalizations without adding new beds or displacing other patients."

    https://projects.propublica.org/grap...vid-hospitals/


    So the stats are based off no one recovering and opening a bed for a new patient to move in and also NO new beds being added to what we have currently.
    I'm not implying shit.

    I'm citing research on how many beds there were when this started and how many WILL be needed if 20% of the population gets it. Currently much less than 20% has it and New York, Atlanta, and New Orleans are out of beds. Just like I ****ing Cited....

    I assure you NOLA is not out of beds. Just trust me on this. I have REALLY good sources.

    Another quote from way back that is out of context at this point.

    I guess my reason for asking was that at that time over a week ago it was safe to assume more hospital beds would become available. That is the reason I quoted that from the article you cited) Your original post was unclear in what you posted that I was responding to. Sorry for asking, good Lord.

    I guess no one should ask for clarification on anything that is posted.
