Maybe one thread for updates and a separate thread for arguments about the updates.

It's about the last thing on my mind at the moment. Aside from the entertainment aspect, some of us work in the sports/fantasy sports field.

You asked if anyone cares about sports? I do, as it affects my work. I understand the need to shut it down, but it's not just people's entertainment that gets affected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First and foremost people's health and well being. Secondarily jobs (yes, sports included), people's livelihoods and homes, the economy etc... sure.

Nucker 67 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I've heard through someone (not a doctor) that this virus will affect the elderly and those with respiratory problems, etc. the worst. For some reason children are immune. She said we are basically okay, this will be just like the flu if we get it, and our immune systems will be able to fight it off. Is this true? Is the average fairly healthy person (under 60) really in any danger? I find some people are pretty relaxed with the whole pandemic, but others are seriously worried. I'm getting more paranoid, the more I watch the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even if you have symptoms (I don't have a fever) they wont test you unless you came into contact with a positive case or have travel history. Because they deem there to be no risk and if everyone went for a test over a cough it would be a waste of resources.....sort of like every year when people go to see med pros for a cold or flu.....waste of time and resources.

nuckin_futz Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Greece goes into lockdown, US and UK elections cancelled Fri 13 Mar 2020 16:22:47 GMT The news just keeps on coming The latest is that Greece will close all bars, restaurants, shopping malls and cafes. Greece at the moment doesn't appear to be a hotspot and hopefully this is simply an aim to get ahead of it; which is the kind of medicine that I think markets will eventually come to appreciate. Other news is that England has cancelled mayoral elections and Louisiana has cancelled the Democratic primary. The England elections have been cancelled for a full year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
