SomeBaseballDad posted:57special posted:My wife works in an ER. Every day I expect to have her come home sick, and for me to find out that I, and the rest of my family are infected. The fact that people are worried about their sons not being able to play baseball at a time like this just makes me shake my head.
No offense intended but...
This isn't the "my elderly parents are in a nursing home" forum. If it were and someone posted complaining that their kid can't play baseball I could see your point. The fact is this forum concerns kids and baseball. The parents voicing their concerns about the current situation seems appropriate to me.
Also, my understanding is the young are basically immune to this. For most of the rest of us, it's not much worse than the flu. Yes, being confined to your home for two weeks would suck. Yes, I understand about limiting the spread of covid. That said your post is kinda "going off the deep end" and there's just too much of that right now. IMO
Absolute offense intended, please educate yourself. Your understanding is wrong. At this point everyone should know this is worse than the flu. This isn't confined to your house for two weeks.....
How about this, we each put up 1k, and pick the number of people that perish from this by 5/1/20 in the continental US. Closest collects and donates to a charity, happy to have a 3rd party handle this.
