Just have to award the championship by Pairwise ranking.

Re: Covid 19

The Australian Grand Prix is still scheduled but one of the teams backed out this morning when one of them tested positive for the virus. I'd expect that to be canceled as well.

Holy cow. Here I was looking forward to some sports entertainment since everything else was being cancelled. Read that five members of the F1 paddock tested positive. One on McLaren (who is the team which withdrew), two on Haas, and no word on the other two.

Yeah, no way this race goes on. In fact, the F1 season probably won't start till the Netherlands event ... if they are lucky.

Hope you have Netflix or Disney+ because live sports, music and movies are done for the foreseeable future

I said somewhere (I lost track of these threads) to buy stock in Netflix and the like. Because they will be the only entertainment, especially for people stuck at home.

Oh My!!! Stock Market this a.m.

My company's stock went from 230 a couple of weeks ago to 176 now.

Good news: Disney is at a 5 year low (just weeks after hitting the all-time high)

Re: Covid 19

Thanks, I’ll read this later. I think population density alone in S Korea warrants testing. I don’t think we could logistically swab relatively comparable numbers of US residents.

Population density alone cannot account for a testing disparity of 111:1. Being ready, willing and able starting at the very top on down - on multiple fronts - is the larger culprit.

3) Some experts are saying we're months out from a viable vaccine. But with the President's address last night (whether you like him or not), he's claiming a lot of the red tape will be going away concerning research and developing a vaccine. That could be a positive thing and help get something out sooner rather than later.

The AP did some fact-checking on POTUS's speech and it was not good. Given how many falsehoods he's provided already I remain skeptical there's a magical "red tape remover" to reduce the estimated time frame from 12-18 months to something significantly lower. I will be more than pleased however to be proven wrong on that.

Re: Covid 19

Totally agree on the travel ban from Europe...but someone tell me why not the UK? I think I already know the answer, but curious if there's any SCIENTIFIC reason why they are excluded from this ban. They have quite a few confirmed cases? Still, what stops someone from travelling from another part of Europe, to the UK, and fly out from there that could be infected? Despite all of this, the virus is already here. Saw a story last night on the 14 Americans who went on a ski trip to Italy...all 14 tested positive. While a 'small sample' man, that's wild...

This alone (delay in testing the population) is going to be one of the biggest reasons why this will turn out to be why we are already behind the 8 ball with this health crisis. Just my .02. Going way back to the HIV crisis, getting a viable test was very difficult and it took almost 3 to 4 years into the epidemic for that to happen due to many reasons (science can only move so fast, government indifference was a factor which can't be denied, the blood banks balked which led to many infections, particularly to the hemophiliac population). Fortunately we learned that lesson (the hard way) and the test for the virus is available. Saw today on Twitter 'drive up' testing sites in parts of the country. The only way you even try to get ahead of this is in testing, and, social distancing, which we are seeing in many facets of life, particularly with schools, colleges, professional sports.

This was erroneously reported as Americans...turns out they were from the UK. I looked all over the place for something to verify this. I heard this watching the news late last night, but this morning, this is all I can find about it?
