The reproductive rate of Coronavirus is higher than the flu but that could be more related to it still being new where population density figures into calculations and will balance when this runs its coarse.

    Like those other diseases, this too will be figured out and pass. However, this reaction will create issues outside of the illness and unfortunate deaths. How many lives will be altered by lost wages or missed opportunities. How will a small business recover from lost revenue. What HS student will miss a scholarship because a recruiter didn’t see him/her perform in a cancelled game.

    I don’t know the right answer, but over reacting isn’t really erring on the side of caution. IMO it’s creating fear and panic.

    Ebola never became a pandemic. You're right that there was not this much panic over previous issues. This is a bigger deal because the mortality rate is much higher than it was for the other issues that became epidemics or even pandemic.

      Fair enough, but I would expect the mortality rate to come down with more testing. The virus is mild in 80% of reported cases, so there is a strong possibility that there are many more cases than reported. That’s a scary thought in itself, but may alter the numbers. The vulnerable are the elderly and sick. Those folks and those around them should be careful. I still don’t think selectively canceling events is helping. I think it’s causing panic. I have to go to work, there are over 1000 people in my building. I will use a restroom and a kitchen that 100s of others use throughout the day. I will go to the cafeteria and touch doors, utensils and other items that have been touched by others. I don’t see how sitting in an arena for 3 hours, probably coming in close proximity to maybe a couple hundred people, puts me at any more risk than the rest of my daily activities.

      I lost a 43 year old healthy cousin to the flu 3 years ago. Healthy on Thursday and gone on Monday. Instead of being in Lake Placid for QU’s last appearance that weekend, I was at her funeral. 7 years ago my healthy sister in law and her husband were hit and killed while walking along the side of the road after the 2013 blizzard, leaving 3 children without parents. I get it, but life is short and nothing is promised. We need to make memories while we can with those we love. Living in fear of what might happen isn’t healthy either.

      I hope they allow fans and I hope those that don’t feel safe being there stay home.

        While i'd love to see the game in person, considering all pressure I am sure being put on the university, I wouldn't really blame them for closing the game to fans. Though i'd hate to turn on the TV and see a few hundred people sitting in the seats. If there are no fans there should be NO FANS. That being said, I actually give the University credit for letting this play out a bit before making a final call. With Yale being only a couple miles away, travel for the team, and most fans is irrelevant in the decision, so waiting isn't really a bad thing, other than causing us fans a little angst. So whether I'm in section 107, or on my couch, i'll be rooting and hoping for a trip to Lake Placid next weekend. I'll probably still drive to Hamden for my pregame festivities. Can't break that tradition.

        That being said, I hope the ECAC pulls the trigger on their decision for Placid early. Unlike this weekend, fans and teams will be traveling. Also, I reserved my hotel room early, knowing i could cancel if Q didn't make it. However, i still have a 72 hour window that i need to cancel by, so I hope the ECAC decides this weekend. Lake Placid isn't a campus so i'm guessing they will play on. I can't imagine the Ski industry up there shutting down, but who knows with all this hysteria.

          Tapping into the Quinnipiac Medical community yielded a far more simplistic rationale we are hearing today now more clearly in the media, "social distancing" not as much to prevent cross infection, but to slow the spread, the impact and the run on the medical system where the negative byproduct is the distraction on caring for urgent emergencies such as more common heart attacks, blood clots, strokes, injuries which command instant emergency attention with comprehensive medical specialists.

          Just like running 4 lines in hockey, modulating the sustained efforts, these hospitals and the broad medical community is trying to modulate the emergency case load which is designed to handle spikes in demand, then re-supply/refresh staff energy etc like a PowerPlay....you cannot play PowerPlay energy non stop all 3 periods, game after game, week over week, month over month.

          That is why they are suggesting break in the eventing, to keep this entire thing modulated.

          This is life-changing no matter how you look at this...great point on the kid that a scout does not see; but similarly imagine your neighbor brought in for heart attack and has to wait until the next available doctor is cleared, disinfected to attend to urgent care patient.

          Lets hope this becomes a worst case scenario as a lesson on how and how not to manage a pandemic....

            I think eventually to defeat this pandemic, the general public will have to take on a war-like mentality where we sacrifice some personal liberties and pleasures for the greater common good. I posted a letter by an Italian Doctor at ground zero of the Bergamo Italy outbreak in the Covid thread. Take a look at it. One percent of his cities population is infected and it has completely overwhelmed the medical system there. That is what we are trying to prevent with these measures. Also, BTW if that scholarship kid was already good enough two weeks ago, he or she has been on the university radars for years and will do fine. The economic impact will be very serious, no doubt.

              I just heard that letter. It was very powerful.

                  I think the benefit of playing Yale is that they can make a last minute decision and not impact many travel plans. Until we hear otherwise.....Game on!

                          The Ivies just cancelled the spring sports season and are leaving it to individual schools to decide what to do about hockey playoffs.

                          My best guess is that the Ivies pull out of the ECAC Tournament, which could cancel the tourney. But I highly doubt the NCAA cancels their tournament, so Cornell will have a (very) tough decision to make considering how good they are.

                            Yeah, this is what I've been trying to explain. And this is why all these draconian steps make sense even though there aren't a ton of reported cases in the country yet.

                                If there's a state of emergency there, it's just a matter of time.
