The Black&Gold Official Covid-19 Discussion (please)

MLB says they are seriously considering starting games using their training camp fields. This might work well considering those parks being so close. No traveling city to city so the potential virus exsposure is next to nothing.

It could work for just about any sport if there are fields, arenas in close proximity. I hope MLB goes for it because we need something right now beside constant virus coverage. Can't get away from it.

I don't see anything wrong with The Oak's post. It seems he's trying to create a single thread directly related to COVID. That's fine.

However, for many people this is the single greatest event of our lifetimes. Financially, mentally, emotionally.... it's impossible not to discuss it's impact and how it may or may not relate to sports.

So, either you want to come to this specific post to discuss COVID-related issues or you don't. You may chose to PM each other and offer support. That's fine too.

The most important thing, is that we remain respectful of each other's thoughts and opinions through this time.

I’m now seeing headlines about people firing into gatherings, and people assaulting people over “social distancing.”

Has it really been so easy to bring people to this point? We’re f***ed.

Were you expecting something different? Katrina shenanigans... LA riots... Crap, Black Friday shopping....

We hope that people act civilized, but the percentage of people in prison for violent crimes speaks to how civilized mankind truly is.

Few trackers I find useful:

For daily numbers-
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

For projected death and peak hospital usage (by state is included)-
https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america

Some good news, they just lowered projected death count to 60k. When mitigation efforts first started the projection was 140-220k.

Let's talk about a man at a park with his 6 year old daughter being handcuffed and detained for being at a park with his 6 year old daughter. Let's also discuss the woman out driving alone in her car ticketed for being out driving in her car alone.

Sounds important

I heard about both..

Sounds asinine and the product of someone that was promoted to incompetence (Peter Principle) misunderstanding the application and function of policy.

How are you? Being surrounded by Falcons fans must have tempered you in preparation for a pandemic?
