Coronavirus Discussion Thread

[Doom]

I figure I start a thread about the dreaded virus and the impact that has made on this world.

It's been announced today that E3 2020, which Grim posted earlier, has been cancelled due to the virus. Later today, it was announced that the entire NCAA Tournament, both men women's, will have no fans attending the games. Even worse, the rest of the NBA season has been suspended. And there's also a possibility that WrestleMania 36 could be cancelled or rescheduled.

It's been fucking insane and scary at the same time of what the virus has brought and the measures that people are taken, to avoid contact with it.

The NBA just suspended it's season until further notice

Some really crazy shit man. Like, we might end up with having very little live entertainment, or at least big changes to a lot of it.

Selfishly, I’m tryna figure out what’s gonna happen to my fantasy basketball playoffs now

Scary indeed and seeing what Tom Hanks has I'm going through a little bit the past few days, so if I don't see himself getting better by tomorrow morning I'm getting checked out tomorrow on my day off. I wonder what is the plan for the NBA if they have to lock up shop for a couple of Weeks with the Players pay?

Add Smackdown to list of stuff. It’s been moved to the PC.

The hysteria of a disease that, like pneumonia and Strep throat, preys on weak immune systems.

Pandemic my ass. I'll call it a pandemic if it kills more than 20,000 people in the span of a few months.

I hope this isn't a long running thing, I have tickets to Summerslam. If it ends up with us not being able to travel to the USA, I'm gonna be so mad. Very glad I'm not going to Mania this year.

I'm also half expecting the concert I have tickets for in a month to be cancelled. But we do only have 5 cases in NZ and they're contained so we might be a safer bet lol.

With the quick spread of it being airborne in nature, and the massive amounts of effected and people being affected with it and showing no symptoms while being highly contagious is cause for concern considering they aren't anywhere close to a way to treat it with a vaccine. It's better to try and limit stuff as much as it sucks.

I have a F1 Thread if you feel froggy to talk about the Season. I wonder if any other teams pull out with the new Season starting this Weekend? Also I got back from the Doctors and I tested negative for the Virus, and I only wanted to be checked due to the symptoms I heard and I wanted to be sure or at least get checked up something I haven't done since 2011 or 2012. I was thinking the NFL might not allow fans for the NFL Drat in April because imagine all those fans from all over, the chances of spreading is high.

Nothing official yet. But reports going around next weeks Dynamite is postponed til July.

Yeah, will definitely pop into that thread.

The real ones to look at are Ferrari and Mercedes - if either pulls out the race would be cancelled for sure.

They'll probably cancel anyway given how many other events are being cancelled, but hey.
