It’s looking more likely that NFL season will be cancelled.

Only you would be that closed minded and not see that shutting down businesses for the majority of the year would have a very negative affect on people and the economy. You want every business (not naming essential businesses) to go belly up and close down? Because that is the road we are headed down if we keep this for much longer.

this is not partisan thinking, it’s COMMON SENSE. 

Only me?  I stated it was not the biggest issue--if you make it so, it is not common sense--so please do not think you are the one who determines what is and isn't common sense.  And your argument is rather stupid--a display of how you missed the point--and I am far from surprised.  Read my post in the earlier thread--it speaks for me--not you.  Damn Trumper telling me about common sense.  that is rich.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, let's steer this back to football. 

No reason to get off in the weeds on politics and current affairs.

The country isn't going to be shut down for a year and a half.  States are going to be in varying levels of lockdown probably into the summer, then certain restrictions will start being lifted very slowly, and then there will be multiple outbreaks that will hopefully be contained better because we've bought our healthcare infrastructure some time.

Without massive testing for antibodies and testing millions of people there is no way to reopen with any hope to contain a second outbreak.  We could be back to work by August if the government stopped dragging their feet and solve the problem instead of using all their time blaming everyone else for their own ineptitude.

Sadly you can’t teach common sense.

That’s absurd...you can’t shut our country down for a year and a half

If stuff stays the way it is then football is going to be cancelled. They may be able to work something out where games are played without fans but then once a person on a team tests positive for the virus the games will be postponed again.

What authority does the Mayor have over decisions other than his own city? Nothing. The country will open back up because there isn't another choice, people are barely hanging on now mentally and some have already lost their financial stability. All of these kooks and wackjobs that keep saying shutdown until November don't have a clue, we would be lucky to have a stable country in November if that's the case.  Mitigation is working and the "experts" overestimated the numbers with those models, the media isn't helping either with their sensationalizing. The only issue this pandemic exposed was the lack of hygiene by average people, wash your hands and stay the hell home if you're sick.

This idea is completely absurd. The NFL season will 100% happen. It might look drastically different than normal including zero fans in attendance but the NFL will not cancel the season. That just won’t happen. There will be an abundance of options.

Oh ok guys nothing to worry about this dude on the internet says so

No you can’t. Desperation will take over before then. The average person doesn’t that kind of job or that kind of savings account.

The only answer to all of this is that there is no answer. We are in unprecedented times. We're basically making it up as we go.

Mayor of NYC just said that September would be the earliest he sees big public gatherings again. I just can’t foresee a scenario in which the NFL season goes on at this point. No OTAs, no training camp, no mini camp and NY not even thinking about large gatherings until September. Yes, this is looking bad. 

Mayor of NYC is one of the single biggest dumbasses to ever walk the face of the earth.

You'd be well served to not rely on anything that moron says, much less propagate the drivel. 

Come on pal...

The estimates were based on possible outcomes if no social distancing occurred. Based on the impact of social distancing the estimates keep going down based on the data about the spread. The number is going down because of what we are doing. The experts told us how to solve it and it appears to be working. This is only phase 1 of the epidemic and there are 3 phases. Until there is a vaccine for this it is going to have a significant impact. We failed to track and contain the virus the first time around the country. If we don't do testing and determine more about immunity and antibodies, no matter when we open up we will be starting phase 2.
