You almost literally have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than getting CV in Janesville. Being able to get out and do simple fun things like that are healthy for your mental state. High stress creates more health issues and potential death than CV in most areas of the state, and country for that matter. t this point everyone is (or should be) painfully aware of the risks. If you are old or otherwise compromised, stay away from people. If you must interact with said people, take all necessary precautions. That's where we need to be, otherwise it's very close to the time to open up the stores and restaurants and start getting back to normal. Rock County has four covid-19 deaths. There to my knowledge have been 0 lightning strike deaths in Rock County this year. Saying that you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning is honestly kind of false. Hence "almost" literally. It's not Tstorm season yet if we really want to get crazy. But you proved my point. 4 vs 0 is statistically the same down to several decimal points. Known deaths due to getting ice cream- 0. You're arguing semantics to make a really weird point. You can still get covid-19 up in the hospital. You can get a hospital bill. You can stress the Healthcare System. There are a lot of people with covid-19. People don't get struck by lightning.

Wal Mart is currently only allowing 5 customers per 1000 square feet of store space, and the Wal Marts I've been in or past in the last few weeks have been pretty quiet/empty. The Wal Mart in Janesville is only allowing people into the grocery, auto, and pet areas. They're not letting you ramble around and shop for clothes and video games and such. I'm not sure if they're doing this elsewhere, but that's how it is here.

Yes.... The 5g towers...

Every ice cream place I know of is open...as is any bakery (like cakes and stuff...not bread). I know of one bakery that was worried of being considered non essential and they started selling eggs and bags of flour as a loophole if they were told to shutdown. I’d blame them, but I don’t know many places voluntarily shutting down. Any other business would do the same if they could. The thing is, Frosty Freeze has a drive-thru. They could choose to be drive-thru only and be in compliance but they're not. It's even on Janesville city Facebook page that multiple people have complained to the police and they are going to investigate but if you drive by there they still have walk up crowds on days like today where there are people standing in crowds of 15 and 20 people shoulder to shoulder. I guess it's fine if they don't care about themselves, but they run a very real risk of passing something onto other people that they interact with. If you pick something up at an ice cream store and then go to Walmart and interact with someone stocking shelves or bagging your groceries you're being extraordinarily irresponsible. If you don't care if you die at least understand that other people don't want to.

That's really my big hang up here. And it's been my hang up all along with a plan like this is suggested. Keeping these guys in what amounts to quarantine for three or four or five months just seems unworkable. People are trying to convince us that it is, but there's several reasons that this can fall apart. I understand that they expect to have quick test kits in place soon. But these guys can tell us that they want to play and are okay with this plan but two months of having no contact with anybody but other baseball dudes and many of them may change their minds.
-
So they're going to take 800 players plus support staff and stash them in hotels and allow them only to travel from hotels to the fields and back for how long? Does that honestly seem workable? I mean honestly? I'm asking this question as someone who absolutely does not want to miss a season of baseball. I don't want to lose 25% or 50% of a season of Christian Yelich in his prime. But I just don't see how a plan like this is feasible. On paper it sounds fine, but just the Logistics of it don't make sense.
-
ESPN articles stating that they're "hoping" to get fans in stadiums in major sports leagues by August or September. That's not making baseball sound very likely. A lot is going to hinge on how much of a lid can be gotten on this thing in the next 3-4 weeks, but that's a pretty fluid statement and situation.
-
I have tickets for Deftones/Gojira in August and I'm already starting to see the handwriting on the wall for that.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28991108/ex-astros-catcher-evan-gattis-obviously-cheated-baseball-fans I don't know how sorry Evan Gattis is, but he certainly has a much more consolatory tone than some of his 2017 teammates. He sounds like he knows that "sorry" isn't enough, but he certainly sounds like he understands that fans and other players are angry, and he accepts and understands why, and he accepts his responsibility for that. I guess it's easy, or easier, maybe, to be in his shoes when he's retired, and won't have to hear the boos that guys like Altuve and Bregman will hear going forward, but he certainly owns up to his role, at any rate. -
This is a big part of the problem. We've labeled food as essential which it absolutely is obviously. So people are going to ice cream shop to get a cone. There's a Frosty Freeze in Janesville and there are pictures of 20 and 30 people standing around shoulder-to-shoulder waiting to get cones and sundaes. There's nothing essential about an ice cream cone and when people are standing shoulder-to-shoulder in groups of 20 and 30 not only are they violating the whole idea, they're congregating at a place that ais serving food that has damn near no nutritional value at all. They're not going there to eat. They're going there to get out of their houses. I absolutely understand that. But the longer people hang out at places like this and keep spreading this around with the longer we're going to have to do this.
-
I agree that logistically that is workable but I think also logistically it would be a nightmare. The amount of people that would have to be quarantined for three or four months is going to be a few thousand people. Logistically it's feasible but realistically I just don't think it's workable. All it takes is one, and we all know that people aren't staying home now...

It's just too early to say, IMO. The MLB season is 6 months long and we are barely even into the regular season. I know it feels like this is a never ending thing but really we are just a couple weeks into it. Let's see where we are at around the middle of May and I think we'll have a much better idea by then where this is going. We have no idea what kind of developments we'll have in testing, treating, and peaking rates by then. I'll rephrase. My gut tells me we are not going to get a season. We may or we may not, but the indicators just point towards this not happening. It's going to be pretty hard to quarantine 700 + guys plus support staff all for the sake of playing games. All it's going to take is one infected person to make the whole thing come Crashing Down. One family member going to a grocery store or whatever and coming in contact and it's over

We are not going to get a season.

I *personally* went 8 days without being able to get my seizure meds refilled because my doctor wasn't able to be in his office, and his nurse was working clinics and was not able to take my calls to refill my prescription. Being without seizure meds for 8 days was not just inconvenient, it was dangerous. I had my April 14th neurology appointment cancelled (not rescheduled, cancelled) specifically due to Corona virus concerns and backups. Do you think I'm the only person this kind of stuff is happening to? There are people who NEED medical attention who aren't getting it *because* people aren't staying at home and are taxing the healthcare system. But by all means, keep calling it an overreaction and sensationalism.....

GameStop is not essential. A garden design center is not essential. There are certainly arguments to me made for and against the merits of capitalism, but those things are not necessary for life.
-
During a state of emergency yes. Of course again, we can argue what constitutes a state of emergency, and what is essential.
-
Janesville Police have now begun forcibly closing businesses that have refused to heed the essential business order. I'm sure different people have different feelings about that, but I don't think there's a universe where creative gardening is an essential business.

It's already all but a certainty that this is impacting the next NBA season. It's entirely possible that this could impact 2021 baseball as well. It's getting more possible by the day that 2020 baseball simply doesn't happen. Toronto extended their "mass gatherings" ban until June 30th, though city officials said that doesn't apply to pro teams. I honestly don't know how you can apply a ban like this and then say "but you can still play baseball and hockey". If other cities follow suit and this goes to the end of June and we don't start seeing spring training until July, we're looking at, best case scenario, starting in August-ish. And every few days, the best case scenario for when they start gets pushed back. If I had to predict right now whether or not we see baseball in 2020, I'd say it's more than 50% likely that we don't. I hope like heck I'm wrong.

Well, the comment was ANY amount of people aren't less important than the economy. No qualifiers that you just provided. Nope, haven't been calling for a shutdown every flu season. Because this isn't the flu. The flu isn't leaving hospitals overwhelmed and running out of supplies.
-
If our health care system gets overwhelmed it won't just be those two groups dying. It will also be people who have otherwise treatable but potentially life threatening conditions like car accident victims, people with burst appendix, and so on who potentially won't recieve care beacause the ICUs will be filled with covid-19 patients. I've already tried to make that point. I went a week without my seizure medication because I couldn't get my prescription filled because my doctor was out of the office and his nurse was working clinics. Needless to say eight days without seizure medication was pretty rocky.
-
I think people are missing the point that Homer's made multiple times. Or they're just ignoring it. All these comparisons and other maladies don't do what covid-19 is doing and that is over-running the Healthcare System all at one time. Even if people concede that there is a price to human life, if we just decide that the economy is more important than a few hundred thousand old people, we will reach a point where our Healthcare System cannot handle the influx of new cases. Homer has repeatedly pointed this out. I personally won't concede that any amount of old people or people with pre-existing conditions are less important than the economy. My brother just got told last Tuesday that his job was closing down and on Friday he was told that there was no money for paychecks. He is still on Facebook and Twitter telling people to stay home and stop spreading this around even in the face of having no immediate income.
-
I think the biggest impediment is going to be opening stadiums. People simply aren't staying home. There's too many businesses open that aren't really essential. Dunham's Sports and hometowne Recreation are open in Janesville. Best Buy is open. These places claimed to have essential items but what really happens is people come and shop for non-essential things and hang out and congregate. And as long as this is going on we're not going to have sports because we will still have a percentage of the population that is carrying and spreading.

Well, if they're planning on playing the amount of doubleheaders that is being talked about, I'm sure most teams will probably be almost forced to roll with a 6 man rotation. That's one additional spot right there. Teams theoretically could shuttle, but if they're talking 2 doubleheaders per week, a 6 man rotation just makes more sense.
