tailsyoulose Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Gonna be a boring year for degens. I predict most sports will outright cancel the season for CV. Forget about college sports altogether - unis are gonna be ground zero due to easy transmission in dorms, and will probably close. Maybe get your money out of offshore books soon. Ain't gonna be no action, and no action means no money. Someone gonna have to invent some live stream hamster races or something worth betting in the meantime.

joeybagadonuts Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Read some crazy shit today with some epidemiologist saying 40% of all Americans will eventually be infected with it. I’m not sweating it at all though. -150 I got when I was in China a few months ago. Came back and had never been sicker in my life. Some old Chinese guy coughed on me for 11 hours straight. Hopefully I built up some solid antibodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theguesser Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 https://slate.com/technology/2006/05/bird-flu-panic.html "David Nabbaro, a World Health Organization official, has said a bird flu pandemic might kill 150 million people; the WHO formally warns of up to 7.4 million global deaths. The White House’s avian flu response plan, announced last week, projects that as many as 2 million Americans might die. The president should be prepared to send the Army into cities to put down bird flu riots, the plan asserts. Robert Webster, a prominent influenza researcher, told ABC’s World News Tonight that a pandemic might kill half of the human population. Webster says he is keeping a three-month supply of food and water at his home, apparently in case the American economy collapses during a bird flu outbreak. Paranoid? Michael Leavitt, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, recently advised Americans to stockpile six weeks’ worth of food, water, and medicine in their homes. Specifically, Leavitt recommends storing powdered milk and tuna fish under the bed. Last week, a report by the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton even speculated that “the Internet could shut down within two to four days” of a bird flu outbreak."

tailsyoulose Posted February 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Panic, no. Prepare, yes. The genie is out of the bottle with this one. That's clear. Northern Italy and S Korea on lockdown. Even China's draconian measures couldn't contain it within China - how is a schengen zone going to be able to? Panic buying emptied the store shelves in hours in Milan. If you have a family, start preparing. Now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Fkkkk can’t catch a break!The first case of that was seen in japan yesterday, a woman who had tested positive and recovered, tested positive again. There is so much we dont know about the virus, is that common , does that mean she gets just as sick? We dont know anything. On the topic, i think it's very possible they will cancel sports, and they would probably not play the games without fans since that would still involve travel from city to city.
