This is what happened with SARS. People need to get used to living with this for the next few years. SARS which i went through went from Nov 2002 until July 2003. Not saying you're wrong, but I noticed you have posted the bolded a few times. Years, yet then you compare it to SARS, which according to your post was around for 8 months?

They suspended their leagues for that long, and are now starting up again. Why should the events be any different here? Because China took measures that would be completely unacceptable in our society. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GritGrinder Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) If they can't have a regular 4 round, 7 game series' playoffs (which takes 2 months) then forget it. I don't care about them finishing the regular season, just seed them as per pts % or whatever they deem fair. That being said June 1st should be the drop-dead date that the NHL aims for to start the playoffs, that gives them until the end of July to finish this season and gives 6 weeks off before training camp. Playing into August and trying to delay next season just screws up 2 seasons, i'd rather just bite the bullet and lose this season and hope for a normal season to start in Oct. There was about a 35% chance the Canucks season would have ended April 4th anyways at last check hehe.

From the sounds of it I don’t think the players or GMs are interested in expanding the format to include more teams. However condensing early rounds to 5 games may be necessary. Hopefully not.

They would have to jump straight into playoffs or eliminate the cap for the final stretch of games. Resuming the season after teams made moves based on injured players wouldn’t work.

Even if it means playing hockey in July and August. To all the people saying this season is for sure done, not so fast. Still hope that this thing gets under control in 3 months and we’ll all be hanging at the beach and watching hockey! To much money involved, billionaires aren't gonna lose millions without a fight and it will give people jobs. Legit question. How do you sell tickets for playoffs if people just starting working, economy is recovering but slowly, ect... Not like people will go back to spending money on tickets, team wear, ect... Immediately that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being old, infirm, or having a compromised respiratory system will mean nothing if it infects enough people. I work from home twice a week now, which I'm happy about, but I still take a triple shot of public transit three times a week. This is definitely not going to go away in a few weeks. More like months. This is just wave 1. They're expecting 3 waves each one worse than the last over the next 18 months.

We don't know what is going to happen here. It may be like SARS and fade through the summer to return in the fall. It may be like H1N1 which is still around but herd immunity has reduced it significantly. It may be like the Spanish flu which came in three waves with the second being the deadliest. It may be like the plague that lasted 300 years. Though with immunizations, mitigation strategies etc 300 years is unlikely. I am not an expert on the economy but I think there will be a pretty rapid recovery once we come out of this thing. They should really just shutdown trading for a while.
