NY Governor Andrew Cuomo said he is working to get 9,000 hospital beds in the coming weeks. He and the governors of New Jersey and Connecticut are working together to make sure they can handle the load.

NYC mayor Bill de Blasio says he is expecting the crisis to crescendo in April or May. Everything shuts down tonight... bars, museums, libraries, movie/Broadway theaters, restaurants... the whole city is gonna go bankrupt and small businesses are doomed unless some sort of UBI stimulus or eviction postponement is put into place.

I also developed a cough/sore throat yesterday and kinda felt a fever going this morning but I'm feeling better as the day progresses. Had to get my doctor to send a note to my job, a major retail pharmacy, to make sure I don't get in trouble. My boss was urging me to come in despite my not feeling well. Corporate America, baby! You gotta love it! We also don't get paid sick leave so hopefully me and my coworkers don't get it despite doing upwards of 500+ transactions in the pharmacy every day for the past few days (MUCH higher than usual). We've almost certainly come into contact with it. In fact, the city's task force said they are suspending tracing of confirmed cases and for us to just assume we've come into contact with someone who has the virus.

We're pretty much doomed. However, funnily enough, my working for a giant corporation that I hate is saving me from financial ruin, because they'll stay open no matter what. Gotta get outta here in the next year when all this blows over though. Cannot state how pissed I am at my boss for getting mad at me for not wanting to possibly endanger my numerous elderly and immuno compromised customers.

San Francisco mayor just issued shelter in place, lol. Don't leave your home unless for essential purpose. Errthang shut down.

Crazy times, folks.

We're getting closer and closer. Lots of incremental steps being made along the way to condition us for the coming national quarantine. I think it happens in the next 48 hours. If you need something for the next 8 weeks, better be getting it.

France just banned all non-essential movement.  Army will be used.  Aka martial law for 2 weeks.

While younger generation disregards mass gatherings rules here in US.  

It's why bannings and martial law have to be used. If people just had the sense to listen to good advice such measures wouldn't be required. But, dumb people will be dumb and most young people are dumb about things like this. At 37 with a wife and a kid I have a completely different perspective on the world and life in general now than I did when I was say, 20. 20 year old dumbass me would probably be out there partying it up right now. 37 year old me shakes his head at such dumbasses. Wait a minute... I see some kids in my lawn I need to go yell at now.

Where is this taken from? We experienced a lot of different phases, so this graph is as inaccurate as it gets

Not to mention we have 5.4 times the population that Italy does so that is going to skew that graphic. Italy's rate of infection would be considerably higher based on that data.

Well the data from the Chinese CDC(take that for what it's worth) indicated that 20-29 had a mortality rate of 0.2%. That kind of fits with the "won't happen to me" mentality that exists with that age range anyway. So does selfish and dumb behavior.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
