I'm afraid there's little choice now...

And WTF would stop a stylist and a customer from wearing a mask?

What way of life are you even talking about? Educational freedoms abridged. Employment freedoms abridged. Economic freedoms abridged. Entertainment freedoms abridged. The American way of life has been stripped away.

Do these neo-germaphobes know how STUPID they sound? To listen, you would think that viruses and other contagions were a new thing. "No shared items." We share a planet for God's sake, and you can't hide from bugs. The human immune system has been doing a fine job for thousands of years. LOL at people trying to outsmart it.

A haircut would be nice.

Burgum just peed on the Constitution. The America so many fought for and of which so many were proud is dead. How shameful.

What does 10 days even do? What could possibly happen to the numbers in 10 days? It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Idiots.

We are prisoners. No crime, no charge, no trial, indefinite imprisonment. RIP USA.

Burgum is a tool. Had a chance to do the smart thing today and caved. When the #$*% can we get back to living? Which aspect of this "life" is even worth saving? Let people choose, FFS.

I think we can dispense with daily briefings, pressers, and numbers. Data fatigue is real. Even for experts, trying to monitor this information on such a micro level is absurd, and to extract anything meaningful is impossible. It's damn near reckless to distribute it to lay people.

A factory, that makes miniature models of factories.

Enjoyment of life is about as essential as it gets, no? Life is too short already. Putting things on hold until some arbitrary, imaginary level of 'security' is reached is madness.

If ICON was good enough for IIHF to play actual competition, then it should do for the NHL and practice.

This is not an attack on SV, but it's this zero tolerance mentality that's dragging everything - and everyone - down. It's simply not realistic. People have got to get comfortable with the notion of being around COVID-19 infected individuals. That's life. It's always been that way. Viruses and cockroaches will outlive us all.

That might have helped steer the nickname process.

That’s some s#itty news.

And half-price beers for fans who are willing to share said thermometers.

If "social distancing" is the immediate, knee-jerk reaction to every future bug, strain, variant, etc., ALL spectator sports are in jeopardy...forever. No season that begins is assured of finishing, and no off-season is assured of ending. Could become new betting lines in Vegas. All we can do is pray that the "science" evolves to show that "curve flattening" is a definite, achievable objective, rather than the fluid, indeterminable, and movable goal post that it is now.

Did you give her two minutes...for checking?

Personally, I was shocked to see how many local and regional businesses jumped on to TV with pandemic-related campaigns. Even among the nationals, it was almost like they had those in the can, even though that seems unlikely.

Yeah, but the eyeballs. If one believed in online advertising before, how could you pass that up? Will be interesting to see if the banner ads or embedded ads change up much, or reflect national or lower profile accounts versus juicier local advertisers.

Shouldn't the extremely busy news cycle and the "free" access to content about the pandemic be driving their page views through the roof right now? And wouldn't that have a boom effect on ad revenue?

One perspective. (Welcome back to the living, Deadspin, but will it ever be the same?) https://deadspin.com/the-nba-gets-vegas-the-nhl-gets-north-dakota-1842732396
