These numbers in the small county of Northampton, borders my county to the north, is unbelievable. They are now up to 53, with a population of just under 20k that is 1:371 infection rate, which rivals any county in the country. Again about 30 of those are related to an assisted living facility but still for a rural spread out, sparsely populated county that's crazy.
 
Breaking News: Lowe’s to close all facilities on Easter for the first time ever with pay. It is reported that Lowe’s is taking a stab at Home Depot throughout the course of the virus by (including more sick time, successfully running their spring Black Friday sale when Home Depot cancelled, staying open 1 hour later than the rival, free $300 untaxed check and temporary wage increase and now giving a free paid Easter holiday is the latest development against HD who is open on Easter).

I dont understand why stores are open on Easter anyway. Dont stores close on Christmas ? Why would you close on Christmas but not Easter ? Both are religious holidays.
 
Looks to be flattening.

I hope they have great liability insurance if they do that ... 1 lawsuit alleging gross negligence would be all it takes ... ???

I can't really see it happening because of that. They better have some rock solid agreement.
 
While I think we go back to a "different" normal sooner rather than the later of waiting until close to 2021 that's been brought up by several, there's been a definite threat we don't see any sports. They're likely to have to work something out because there won't be a vaccine until 2021. Would have to see an expansion of rapid testing for starters.

I think there's a decent chance they try though because a lot of $$$$ is on the line.

Ok so what do you suggest ? Just cancel the whole season ?

I want baseball as much as the next guy but getting 25+ people in a locker room everyday is bound to lead to someone catching it. I'm just pointing out that the logistics require a lot of thought.

TV money is better than no money. I know they bring a lot in through the attendance and concessions but sooner or later the players are going to want some pay coming in.
