Well sure. Games are still on as far as I know.
One thing sports can do, even in limited forms like we're going to watch them this weekend, is take a person's mind off things. If you read Twitter, at times you'd think we're living in a dystopia.
That's crazy. This is important and these disease experts MUST be listened to. But locking oneself into a maelstrom of worry is also not good for your health and for most of us can cause more problems than Coronavirus.
I'm not espousing going out and shaking hands with a thousand people, but we've got to live our lives and look forward to things we were looking to before. Now when/if they cancel, and I'm sure there's still a high probability of that, we can adjust.Comment

1000% agree. This thing has exploded and seems to be heading to a direction beyond just prevention and stopping the spread. It's literally headed toward mass hysteria. I was at the store last night grabbing a few things for kids' lunches and it was chaos. People were buying everything and anything. Bottled water was gone, toilet paper gone, paper towels gone, milk gone, bread gone...it was incredible and quite disturbing at the same time.
People have lost their minds with this and it's destroying the economy (stock market now down 8,000 points total) and it's going to cause major, possibly irreversible damage.Comment

The travel ban is not the problem. The rules and parameters, as laid out in Trump's speech last night, are thoroughly confusing.
As far as leadership, Beshear on KSR this morning did a great job. He was calm, assertive, and clear. Trump last night was robotic and confusing. It doesn't help that a week and a half ago he was calling all of this a hoax and a political hackjob.Comment

I will admit that politicizing this in any way, shape or form is not the route to take and for that I apologize.
Common sense should prevail.Comment

In an ideal world, we would've had a pandemic person on the National Security Council as has been the case in the previous two administrations that saw this popping up two months ago and could have begun alerting hospitals and coordinating governmental response. We also wouldn't have had the CDC and FDA forbid researchers from developing a test as was the case in Seattle.
At a very minimum, the message from the very top of the government and State Media shouldn't have been to dismiss this as a partisan hoax designed to bring down the president.
As far as the quarantine stuff, it seems too little too late for that but I am open to the experts opinions on that.Comment

It is very concerning how unprepared we seem to be, on all levels, for this sort of pandemic.
The media, social media, etc., do not help, of course, but basic common sense institutions that should have been in place long ago for this sort of thing seem to either not exist, or they're not being utilized. Baffling, really.Comment
