Coronavirus
« on: March 13, 2020, 11:19:28 AM »
Has any leagues been cancelled that some of you bowl in due to the Coronavirus ? A tournament I was going to bowl in pulled the plug. I'm in Ohio where mass gatherings of 100 or more are prohibited. Things are changing daily so it could be an adjustment after the 2 p.m. press conference.

We just had a confirmed case at the college I was working at, two buildings over and it's the building the library is in. As soon as the school found out, immediate lockdown. Like, GTFO now.

Same here.  Since people couldn't go out to eat and hitting the bars, people started going to Clearwater Beach as a reason to leave the house and now that is being shut down effective Monday because the amount of people got to be too much.  There were so many people you could barely walk.

Dallas, Tx has now gone into “shelter in place.

Don’t think it will be long before it is statewide.

Chicago did yesterday. Also, Canada just pulled out of the Olympics. I’d think more countries follow suit since IOC continues to drag their feet.

Philadelphia started shelter-in-place at 8am this morning for an indefinite period of time.

The Pennsylvania Governor is seriously contemplating the same order for the entire state as well.  My county here in PA is supposed to end a previous shelter in place order this Friday.  I am starting to doubt it will actually happen.

Meanwhile, President Trump is starting to question the efficacy of the shelter in place orders compared to the overall impact on the nation's economy.  Word is he wants to finish out his "15-days to slow the spread" initiative and go back to business as usual and just encourage everyone to remain vigilant with hand washing and surface cleansing.  Seems reasonable at this point.

Welcome to the club!

We were "recommended" to shelter in place in Sacramento County 2 days after the bay area imposed it. Last week, California was shelter-in-place statewide. It's gonna feel eerie for a while.

think about it this way: As you already heard about Nevada being shelter-in-place, Gov. Sisolak here now has ordered the LEOs to enforce all non-essential businesses to close. And on top of that, an air traffic controller at McCarran International in Vegas tested positive for it. The entire tower is shut down, and flights are limited to 6-8 in and out every hour.

when was the last time you saw Las Vegas looking like a ghost town?

IOC just announced the Summer Olympics have been at least postponed.

I'm guessing at this time, there won't be a USBC Open in 2020.

Funny when I said this a few weeks a certain ropedick that frequents this site thought I was wrong. Yet, here we are. EVERYONE is wrong and he and his flawed “numbers” are right.

I thought the entire thing was over-hyped myself just a couple or three weeks ago. I can see now that I was completely wrong about it.

And I do work in the health care industry. Not as a medical person, but in the operations side of the business. Our company has 22 hospital campuses across the state of California and as of right now, I have just over 1500 employees working from home.

Not really referring to you per se. He knows who he is. I had some friends that poo poo’d this as a hoax or overreacting etc. those same people are now jobless and can’t even get a gig delivering pizzas because that job is in such high demand. Hard times out here.

Yea, I know who you are referring to and I agree, they were being a bit nearsighted. Even when the real proof started coming in daily.


For full disclosure though, I have no ideal what his dick is made of.  ;D
