BillsCuse Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Even if they push the draft back, there is no way they should do it with the huge crowds they've been having lately. They should keep the same date and can still make it a big tv event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Mueller Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Go retro... make the draft a 100% radio event. I don't get that many kicks from watching the draftees hug Goodell after putting their baseball caps on. I just want the result... and the online commentary, of course.

As delayed as the U.S. response has been, it is not unlikely that we are on track to avoid the seriousness that Italy is now facing. One article that I read this morning outlined how right now is the time for "social distancing" to have it's most important effects. There are certainly areas that are going to be hammered. I can only speak to Los Angeles, where I live, and I have to assume that the enormous homeless communities that we currently have in places like downtown LA are going to be decimated. Likewise, I suspect that NYC could be in serious trouble. However, the point of the current steps being take (ALL of the motion picture studios in Los Angeles, and at least 95% of productions, for example, are shut down) is to slow the rate of infection to a level that the healthcare industry can handle. This is a crisis that will pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) And now because people can’t be trusted to maintain social distance DeWine has ordered all bars and restaurants in the state of Ohio to be closed indefinitely as of tonight at 9pm. Carry out and delivery ok. Edited March 15, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carry out and delivery ok. I’m in Greenville, SC and went out last night to pick up some food and downtown was packed. Less than usual for a dry 70 degree evening, but still people everywhere - bars shoulder to shoulder, restaurants with a wait to get in ha. It is what it is.

RyanC883 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 t's likely (thankfully) to not be 3%. Here is something from Harvard. https://slate.com/technology/2020/03/coronavirus-mortality-rate-lower-than-we-think.html That said, one death is too many, and curve flattening is a great idea. Panic, no. Cancelling things like the draft that can be done entirely remotely: also not a great idea. Cancelling actual sporting events: good idea. Going to bars: bad idea. Ordering delivery: a good idea to help restaurants and their employees. Keep your heads on, get facts, keep your distance, but don't hide in a room full of toilet paper like some people appear to be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is less about death rate and more about hospitalization rate. That’s where the problems lie and that’s why “flattening the curve” is so important - to slow the rate of spread. The nation’s hospitals are going to get overwhelmed, and that’s going to increase the death rate generally - because critically ill patients won’t get access to the medical care they require. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That industry operates under the same standards as tap water, and are often found to be short. The TP thing is crazy, too. I ended up ordering a supply online to put in storage.

I mean they aren’t shutting off the water and I don’t buy bottled water to begin with unless I’m having a big party or something. So don’t know why I would need it. I have enough TP for at least a few weeks so why would I need more, haven’t heard the stores are closing?

KD in CA Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 5 hours ago, Rocky Landing said: The question over whether to postpone the draft, or not, is a question of revenue. The way the draft is now structured, with tens of thousands of fans showing up, multiple media venues, and the huge gala environment represents an enormous amount of revenue for numerous media entities, as well as hundreds of business interests in the host city-- not just the NFL. If the draft happens on schedule, that gala environment, and all the commerce it generates would be a non-starter, and a huge loss of revenue. No question it's a huge economic event for the host city, but I'm curious if anyone knows how much the host cities now pay the NFL for the privilege. My assumption was the NFL got most of its money from ESPN broadcast rights, but the live event is probably now a material revenue stream for them too.

Just so bizarre We were very lucky that just a couple days before "The Great Toilet Paper Scare of 2020" we just happened to run out of toilet paper, and my wife bought a 24-pack (as she always does). Three days later, there was not a roll of toilet paper to be found in LA County. Then, last week, I was at Smart & Final, getting some non-perishables, and the guy ahead of me had a shopping cart filled with junk food, and about eight cases of bottled water, and I thought to myself, "dude, you don't even drink water..." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just don’t have press conferences they can do the draft. The problem is you can’t have fans so they may postpone adraft in Vegas to next year. teams operate for their team HQs and nfl operates out of nyc. i don’t see it’s clear for crowds till early June at the earliest. This virus could settle down by time of training camps. workouts, travel to facilities etc... medical checks after terms reached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
