I could plan to become richer than Bill Gates, doesn't mean it will happen. I think those type of announcements are very disingenuous.

They will 99.999999% play. The SEC is about one thing...and those schools arent going to give up tens of millions of dollars.

Didn't want to chase down the NCAA football thread.

Cool. It'll be like the old gladiator days, but in slow motion. And the spectators will be the ones dying.

Everyone is “planning” to open at this point. The real fun comes in July when they actually have to make the decision.

I think they just want the tv cash. Big money donors will be the only ones allowed in if they do play.

They ought to renegotiate their contracts with the TV networks. The ratings are going to be off the charts for any sport since the stadiums will be empty and everyone is dying for some new, live sports. I wonder what the breakdown is for a school like Alabama regarding the revenue. They make a boatload of money on both selling tickets and on selling rights to televise their games, whether via the SEC or on their own. The ticket revenue might be impacted some, but again, that TV revenue could be off the charts.

When is this whole "the temperature will kill it" thing start to kick in?

fyi - currently at 1:35 a.m. it's still 84F.

Indeed the troopers are out there in full force. Barely a day goes by with me seeing one on my 7 minute commute during the week, or my curbside excursions on the weekend.

Speaking of. Illinois State Police just posted this from this morning:

Again, math. If each person spreads it to less than one new person where does it end up?

In the new person??

Are these 3/5th persons??

Is that why mookie reads the impact is higher with POC?

Which is basically what South Korea did. Before "isolating every infected person" meant pretty much your entire country.

We could have done that. Our leaders chose not to.

Wouldn't have worked here anyway. South Korea has oceans on three sides and what might as well have been the lunar surface on the other side with the DMZ with North Korea. There's a reason why New Zealand is the next country doing well.

Looks like a mid-2000s Audi.

When did these places decide to reopen? Doesn't it take more than 5 days for people to get symptoms? If that's the case, this place had to have re-opened last week sometime.

It's too blurry to make out. (On purpose)

I-88 EB, Mile marker 133, Downers Grove, IL
(Because I drive that stretch every day)

And no. In KPH it would be:

They learned the hard way. They had infections in 2002, 2009, and 2015 where they then booted the party that screwed up in 2015 for the current guy who put all the successful plans in. We had 60 million people elect a ****** instead.
