After watching the draft, I want football cancelled until it can be back to normal.

I saw what you mentioned and there is no concrete evidence, only suspicion, about the undocumented number of people who may have had the disease. Gov Cuomo may be right but it’s still too early to tell. I was sick as hell before Valentine’s Day and tested flu negative. 
 

also, I don’t know where you are getting the “flatten the curve” stuff because that isn’t true. NC had its second highest diagnosis’ yesterday. 
 

there Are a lot of people not working together on this in the USA and honestly sports are probably the furthest thing for people to worry about. 

The problem though is this, the only way to truly flatten the curve is to do what China did and the US will NEVER do that. I’m not joking when I say that China was so strict that people literally couldn’t even step outside, they were training their dogs to use the bathroom on self made pads in their home, and if you did get sick they would force you from your home and into a green tent of isolation from anyone for 14 days. We will NEVER ever do that in the US, all we are doing now in the US is putting band aid on and kickin the can down the road all while destroying the economy in the process.

Pretty funny how so many people say there will be a second wave of this virus this fall and winter.  Not one person knows that for certain, but let’s all buy into the fear we are being sold.  Studies are already showing that 20 to 35% of Americans have already built up antibodies.  This thing has been around in this country for 6 months and this could be the second wave we are seeing now.

this is not true

[LinvilleGorge]

The antibody studies I've seen are more in the range of 2.5-5% of the population. The highest I've seen is up to possibly 15% and that was in NY, the epicenter of this pandemic in America.

also the Ab tests are very unreliable

This is what I do when it gets annoying.

At this rate, we will be standing at soup kitchens Sunday at 1.

Donald Trump encouraging shutdown has turned the situation political and prevented a prompt re-open.

Now if ONE person would die if we re-open, the whole we put lifestyle over lives thing comes into play...

Let me ask y'all this... Why does I-85 have points you're allowed to go up to 75 mph? If we went 50 mph, we could cut down on alot of the deaths... WHAT! YOUR TIME IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN LIVES! YOU'RE SELF CENTERED!!! 

I bet you interstate high speed driving kills 10x the amount of people this year covid will. But we refuse to ban that...

football just isn’t the same under the current conditions. Football used to be an escape from reality and all the bad poo going on in the world,  the draft last night was anything but.. it was sad, it was gloomy and I came out of the draft feeling more depressed and down in the dumps then I did before I watched it.
 

Where to begin.. First the obvious, all the depressing songs pre draft.. They were so somber and depressing, the constant barrage of soapy covid commercials, the commentators constantly talking about it. Even the players being drafted seemed to be so low energy and apathetic not even showing excitement they got drafted. The whole thing felt more like one super long Covid 19 telecast that happened to have the NFL draft going on in the background. I literally had to turn the TV off after our pick was announced and even then, looking back, I wish I never watched any of it.

 

if you think last nights was bad, wait how depressing NFL games with literally zero fans in attendance is going to be. Home field advantage and the 12th man is such a HUGE part of the NFL. It’s a huge aspect that make the games mean much more. Think about it, what is even the point of playing in the super dome and the clink without those fans (as much as I hate them btw) no. I say cancel the entire season until it can be done RIGHT. 

You not drunk enough bro.

The narrative and information changes on this weekly. It’s uncharted territory. Are you comfortable putting your family at risk for the benefit of others? I’m not. 
 

 The most important thing is to listen to the guidance of experts and trained professionals, not people who want the sick to inject Lysol into their bloodstreams. 

Biggest problem is lack of presidential leadership.  Can you see the never ending clusterfug we have now with Any of our past presidents?  It gets more surreal every day.

I have never wanted George Bush back more then ever. At least you could go sit and eat a cheeseburger during the 2008 crisis.
