Unless you for whatever reason thought the virus would be on the decline then. They won't reopen. My oldest won't be going back to UND. I'll have both daughters home everyday starting on Wednesday making TikToc videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something Europe/Asia didn't necessarily need to concern themselves with in their outbreaks. We have a completely new set of potential risk factors, which is part of the problem. The US obesity rate is near 50 percent, with morbid obesity numbers in double digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDlaw80 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Spain in full lock-down now. Trump's main guy at NIAID, Dr. Fauci, was just on TV and didn't reject the notion of this country doing the same. Meanwhile, the first known occupational transmission has occurred. That sucks, doctors/nurses/medical employees are the true heroes in this situation. https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/03/er-doctor-in-new-jersey-tests-positive-for-coronavirus-officials-say.html Crazy times we're living in.

Crazy times indeed. We will be in a full lockdown within a week. I got one last day of skiing in yesterday at Keystone. No lift lines. Late yesterday afternoon the press release was out stating all Vail Resorts will be closing for a week. Then an hour later our governor issued an executive order shutting them all down. Get comfortable at home because this is the direction we are headed. Make the best of it and help out your neighbors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 It is human nature to overestimate short term implications and underestimate the long term. Think about what this could result in after the dust settles. If you're a small government advocate, the CDC official trying to explain their piss poor response by saying he expected more interest and investment from the private sector basically ruined your position for the foreseeable future. Beyond that, short commercial real estate. More jobs are going to go full telecommute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Europe today. People not packing into bars and restaurants, limiting number of people allowed on a store at a time, borders closing to everyone but commuters and freight, public transportation shutting down.

Sweethockey Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I am planning on ice fishing on Tuesday at LOW. It will probably be the last act of normalcy I will have before mandatory lockdown begins. Hopefully Midco will continue replaying this past season’s games. It was one hell of a season!

90siouxfan Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Just my humble opinion, but the seemingly illogical shut down of certain things vs. no action at others is a reflection of the fear of liability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(edit) Safe to say you could call the obesity problem in the US, happening for at least the last four decades, a true crisis: creating 10 y/os who are type-2 diabetics who can't even see their own shoes, 30 y/os who need bypasses, putting a financial strain on everyone else, putting a damper on my ogling at the local mall, etc. It's hard to effect meaningful dietary changes in a free market, with so many options & temptations, but the onus is on parents to set a good foundation in their children's lives, & they've failed miserably in this respect. The solution: fast food companies in hs cafeterias, prescriptions to treat symptoms instead of sound nutritional advice & endless lip service.
