The lawyers in the thread may know of David Lat. He started the popular legal blog Above The Law. He's now hospitalized with COVID 19. Mid 40s, no health issues, has completed two marathons.

So he's sick?

Like he would be if he got the flu?

Odds he dies????? Zero????

Spare me the outrage.

Oh mere gawd! He is sick and he is only 40. This never happens. Oh mere gawd.

A couple of hours later and they’ve figured out that closing a golf course for social distancing is a little on the goofy side. They’re closing the clubhouse but leaving the pro shop and golf course open for now.

More Proof HCQ Beats Coronavirus

Chloroquine is a medication used to prevent and to treat malaria in areas where malaria is known to be sensitive to its effects. Certain types of malaria, resistant strains, and complicated cases typically require different or additional medication.

Starting to think that too.

As we get into the summer, the number of new cases should be declining but then the claim will be "but we need to stay quarantined, or at least avoid large gatherings, because it could come back."

That's an argument to allow low risk folks (basically any healthy people under about 70) to live their lives as normal and quarantine high risk folks/people who care for high risk folks, but I digress. You don't really build any herd immunity doing what we're doing.

. No matter how much money football brings in they won’t take that chance of getting sued right and left if somebody gets sick and dies. 100k in stadiums yea that would be a huge gamble if this is still going strong in September or worse.

If this is still going strong in September we have much bigger problems than football.

PolitiFact - No, Pelosi wasn’t caught trying to add abortion funding into coronavirus bill

You might want to recheck that. She tried to slip in $1 billion in funds that weren't going to be covered by the Hyde Amendment. Supposedly covering "laboratory costs" instead.

Pelosi's staff declined to comment. If they had innocent motives, they would have stated that to ever news agency in the country or specifically worded that portion of the bill. They didn't.

And there will be hearings and should be. Not to assign blame but to learn how to better deal with something like this in the future. Of course Trump will take it as if he's being persecuted.

Oh I think we all know there will be some Democratic Congressmen looking to nail him to the cross for his delayed response to this.

Some experts, Scott Gottlieb in particular, is saying that he expects this thing to peak in late April and the number of new cases to really start declining this summer in response to what we're doing today. The social distancing in all likelihood will be loosened by that point, if not before then, which will lead to another spike in the fall. I'm starting to lean towards their being a high likelihood this interferes with football. Once the numbers start going down, people are really going to be stir crazy and it is going to be really hard to resist pressure to relax the social distancing.

If, and that's a big if, we get a vaccine by this fall, then it isn't all that big of a concern, but I wouldn't bank on that.

Nobody builds herd immunity doing what we're doing. We've made a choice (and that's exactly what this is, a choice) to social distance everyone (regardless of risk level) and blow up the economy for some indefinite period of time to maybe prevent it from spreading. Does it really seem that unreasonable to have high risk folks (the elderly, those in poor health, those with symptoms, etc.) and their caregivers stay out of harm's way, while everyone else just goes about their daily lives and if they get it, they get it? Younger, healthy people don't require hospital or doctors visits to get over this and it wouldn't overwhelm the system. It isn't like this thing has a 10% or 25% death rate among younger and healthy people.
