    Sitting in a really weird position with my High School baseball schedule right now. Schools have only cancelled through 04/03/20. Some individual districts have gone till 04/10/20.

    At this point I don't see how any public entity is willing to take on any sort of liability related to this. I get the wait and see apprach, but at the same time its not hard to see the writing on the wall with this...
    Probably close to it in Alaska, schools are closed until May 1st here.

    All remaining HS sports got cancelled already, I’m losing a bit of income from no HS soccer season.

        YOu know, I was thinking about how this COVID-19 battle is playing out and it struck me in a conversation with a friend last night, these doctors and nurses are doing more than anyone has ever done for our country.

        We know the grim statistics on COVID. It's very infectious. 50-100% more contagious than influenza. But it also hides in your system for up to two weeks. You can't know if you've caught it and are already contagious. Symptoms progress fairly slowly and significantly overlap with other common seasonal RSVs. Many people who get it describe it as the most sick they've ever been. It takes weeks to recover. 10-25% are hospitalized. 2-6% are put in the ICU requiring invasive ventilation, which can cause injuries itself. Depending on an infinite number of factors, the overall CFR of 1-4%.

        These doctors and nurses are going into battle without adequate PPE. They are risking their lives every day knowing the statistics and seeing every day what their future might hold.



        But something else struck me that makes what they're doing particularly courageous. More so than the police and even soldiers, who receive such patriotic adoration in this country. Deservedly so. None of them are risking their families' lives by going into battle or responding to a call. They don't have to worry about putting their wife on the battlefield or having their kids in the car when they get a call for a robbery. These doctors and nurses are doing just that. With something they can't see and don't know if they have it. They're wearing garbage bags and handkerchiefs knowing it's entirely inadequate and likely exposing them. They could die from this, 50 plus already have in Italy. But they're also risking their families lives. But they go in, sacrifice their bodies every day to the point of collapse. Pictures of doctors and nurses who have worn their faces raw, bleeding, from PPE having to wear it for such prolonged periods.

        That is some next level courage there.

        We put up grand monuments to our soldiers who went into battle and died. Maybe it's time to put one up for those who went in and died for the nation on our own soil.

          Colleges did this incremental thing only when their hands were called due to Spring break. It is stupid. Sort of like pulling the band aid off a airy leg, one hair at a time. No one who has looked into this at all can believe it will be safe to do anything before mid summer. Starting to look like longer due to the intransigence from some of the knuckle dragging States who are insisting on doing things that assure spread.

          Not quoting because I forgot to check off the little boxes- agree with Kep re what the Rube is posting. Being realistic doesn't mean you think it is OK. Facts don't lie. We have to face there are going to be a lot of deaths and a lot of critically ill- not because it is ok but because there are enough people who, for whatever reason, are not doing things that would help make it better. .

          It is magical thinking to believe we will be successful in flattening the curve as much as we could. As Dr Fauci said some time in the last few days [paraphrased] we cannot use models looking at our country as a whole and compare it to other countries. It is not realistic. We are not one country. We do not have a cohesive approach. It is like dealing with many, many countries and those countries keep changing approaches. You can look at the models in small area but you need to take into consideration the effect of the surrounding areas.

          Ex-Our governor has been fairly proactive. We live a few miles from the state border. The state next to us just figured out they should do things we were doing a few weeks ago. Today our Gov said if you come into the state then self quarantine for 14 days. Where I live people cross border to work, shop, do a bunch of things daily. Nice thought but now there are jokes all over about what it means for the folks who work across the border, etc. Meanwhile those people were exposed to other people who were exposed to other people.....

          Dr Fauci and Trevor Noah- I love Trevor Noah!

            Right now we are remote through the end of April but I think remote learning for the rest of the school year is likely. I have a teacher friend in Vermont and she is done for the year.

                Ok, so I'm not being paranoid for thinking that school is done for the year. All my baseball gear is just sitting in a pile since it was ready to go for College games at the end of February, but then put aside in the beginning of March. Thought about it today because I had to get around it for some other stuff. I just find it weird that IL schools have not thrown in the towel with after school activities, let alone school in general for the year. Seems like this virus will be floating around in significant numbers until June 1 at best and indefinitely at worst. We seem to be one of the slower states to call it.

                    Listening to the conversation at the college level it was like pulling teeth. People who got it and those who just couldn't live with the reality so they gave in tiny bits at a time. They are still talking about maybe going back to school here on May 4 and letting the kids try a really short season. No one who is following this thinks it is the slightest bit possible but no one has the gonads to just say it
