China has already been locked dowm for a while and their new cases were declining. Korea had its first case same time as US but has tested 274k peopleB
A football season is unlikely at this point. You are right, they are saying this could last 18 months or longer. I don't think people are realizing that (people keep dismissing it, those same people are the ones responsible for the deaths of other people). Schools are not re-opening. I have been on conference calls where they have said this and there is other information that I have heard from people at the very top to prepare for the worst. This is from a friend, some of the information they told me to prepare for is "eye opening - scary". Even if there is a football season somehow, it will be a shortened season.
You’re being briefed from people “at the very top?” “Very top” of the government? “Very top”of the CDC? “Very top” of the corporate world?
There were numerous people claiming that they were “briefed” by the government spreading false information all over the internet Sunday about events that were supposed to transpire today.
Also, I’m sure the government has many contingency plans and scenarios that they are contemplating and modeling. That’s their job.
I refuse to panic and get caught up in the hysteria. I always practice good hygiene and I am especially diligent during flu season.
The sad thing about this situation is some people are finally realizing that basic hygiene and common sense can help stop the spread of disease. Before the restaurants were closed, they were actually cleaning the floors and hard surfaces in a manner that should be the norm at all times.
I hope when this passes that people do not become complacent and revert to old habits.
Without the fear of a virus like Covid 19, people should still be concerned about not passing the flu or other diseases to anyone and especially our older and most susceptible members of society.
