    I know you're really excited about this... but the majority of these cases are younger people.

    As a reminder, the virus will spread. Flatten the curve, I think was the goal

    MLB is shutting down spring training complexes,

    and now the NFLPA is advising players to stop practicing in groups.

    I mean we'd see Baseball if MLB didn't want the players to take a cut of their prorated salary.

    Well once an agreement is made, ST will resume. What happens when players start testing positive? I just don't think it happens, but I would love to be wrong bc I'm missing sports bad

    I'm kinda curious for athlete's requiring strong aerobic capabilities what the effects of COVID might be.

    Gotta admit it's been great for my marriage. My wife and I are spending much more time together, which is better than living pitch-to-pitch.

    New cases back over 30,000 per day, suggesting that deaths will start increasing again in about a month, unless new drug treatments have a big impact.

    On a chilly afternoon in April, Los Angeles police found an old, disoriented man crumpled on a Koreatown sidewalk.

    Several days earlier, RC Kendrick, an 88-year-old with dementia, was living at Lakeview Terrace, a nursing home with a history of regulatory problems. His family had placed him there to make sure he got round-the-clock care after his condition deteriorated and he began disappearing for days at a time.

    But on April 6, the nursing home deposited Mr. Kendrick at an unregulated boardinghouse — without bothering to inform his family. Less than 24 hours later, Mr. Kendrick was wandering the city alone.

    According to three Lakeview employees, Mr. Kendrick’s ouster came as the nursing home was telling staff members to try to clear out less-profitable residents to make room for a new class of customers who would generate more revenue: patients with Covid-19.

    More than any other institution in America, nursing homes have come to symbolize the deadly destruction of the coronavirus crisis. More than 51,000 residents and employees of nursing homes and long-term care facilities have died, representing more than 40 percent of the total death toll in the United States.

    But even as they have been ravaged, nursing homes have also been enlisted in the response to the outbreak. They are taking on coronavirus-stricken patients to ease the burden on overwhelmed hospitals — and, at times, to bolster their bottom lines.

    A Lakeview official said the company’s evictions were appropriate and weren’t an attempt to free space for Covid-19 patients. But similar scenes are playing out at nursing homes nationwide. They are kicking out old and disabled residents — among the people most susceptible to the coronavirus — and shunting them into homeless shelters, rundown motels and other unsafe facilities, according to 22 watchdogs in 16 states, as well as dozens of elder-care lawyers, social workers and former nursing home executives.

    Many of the evictions, known as involuntary discharges, appear to violate federal rules that require nursing homes to place residents in safe locations and to provide them with at least 30 days’ notice before forcing them to leave.

    Hey there scientist. Glad to see you aren't pushing fake studies anymore. Just your normal ignorance.

    No break. Just sitting back and watching as yiu guys continue to bungle this whole situation.

    Once you realize that a larger percentage of the newly infected population has a statsitically 0% death rate you won't be confused why overall deaths and hospitalizations don't spike like they did in the north east

    At some point you guys will understand the data. But you are rabid leftists so maybe not.
