This makes sense. Trump is a wise leader and decision-maker, and he's also very knowledgeable about viruses.

It's an empty arena so I don't think it's that big of a deal. I guess people hanging out at home still need something sports related to watch.

I didn't see anything about an empty arena. I was actually hoping The Players was still going to continue, but without spectators.

I read it. I saw the part that he was moving it to smaller venues, missed the part where this Saturday's fight will be without spectators.

Some events will be moved to UFC’s 1,500-capacity Apex facility in Las Vegas, while Saturday’s UFC Brasilia event in Brazil will be held without spectators due to local measures taken against COVID-19.

I was wondering how the city of Las Vegas was going to deal with this outbreak. That entire city is reliant on crowds of people.

UK postpones elections for a year over coronavirus

From CNN’s Niamh Kennedy

The United Kingdom is delaying local and mayoral elections for a year, the UK Cabinet Office told CNN Friday, as part of an escalated response to delay the spread of coronavirus in the country.

The spokesperson said that the Cabinet will bring forward legislation to facilitate the postponement, adding that it will “work with the devolved administrations to ensure that they have the necessary powers to do the same.”

The delay also affects police and crime commissioner elections. 

[Stradling]

I’m guessing this isn’t one of those times where we should be more like the UK?

kind of what i was warning our cancel culture in here about. we have to be cautious but government never misses a chance to grab freedoms from those willing to hand them over. we need a more balanced reaction and understand we are establishing precedent. our reactions are being noted by our own big government and enemies developing biological weapons.

the 9th circuit has been unusually quite on the latest travel bans.

Cancel culture is actually a thing. Millennials and whatever the next generation is say it all the time.

I'm in Missouri. I can get a high five here quicker than you can get a good game in SOCAL.

Not sports related but all of the Adventist churches in So Cal are closed for at least the next two weeks. This will unfortunately include our soup kitchen on Monday nights. Sorry, st1ck.

our school administration has canceled all school trips for now. Our 8th grade class trip to Disneyland for their youth education program is on hold for now. Hoping we’ll be able to reschedule before school ends.

I wonder how long  Till malls start closing.

I wonder how many kids will be born nine months from now.

Very good thought. This is what I was trying to convey to the sheep. We can warn and protect the old with shutting down life. Right now its games being cancelled but store closings and local travel restrictions  could be next.

Hey guys, keep the thread on track and keep your bullshit to the minimum.
