Corona Virus Poll, Week 17

[kevinb]

Hello all and welcome to another edition. Hope everyone is feeling good staying safe out there wearing your mask and social/physical distancing or not. Have a beautiful weekend and hope you enjoy the questions.

I am just so glad that we are finally able to talk about baseball once again.  In a couple weeks when baseball is actually being played, maybe we can regain just one more step towards normalcy.

I can’t wait.

I might have reworded #3 a little.   I wear a mask walking into any store and inside any store, but as for restaurant I only wear it while walking into the restaurant and being seated and then take it off once seated.   Can't eat with a mask on.  

Will not wear one outside if taking a walk, as I can do social distancing easily enough.

COVID-19 will definitely have an on the field impact on play this season. It’s not going to just step aside so baseball can just resume business as usual. They may begin the season but a stoppage in play is highly likely.

The way things are looking today I’m starting to doubt we’ll see a season at all.

Why have they stopped talking about deaths and only address cases now? Is it because the fatality rate is going down? Case totals were obviously going to go up when testing increased. Not sure if it’s accurate, but I read an article earlier stating that hospitals in Texas were testing everyone coming in for any procedure and if the test came out positive that they cited it as a COVID hospitalization. If accurate, that’s concerning, but I haven’t seen anything else on that so it might not be.

Also, if they’re so concerned about this, why is Newsom closing beaches and businesses while essentially ignoring protests? The inconsistency is problematic.

There's no inconsistency.

Just a hunch throughout the day we will start hearing names.

This could also mean nothing. Could be travel or family matters or just minor aches.

My guess is MLB is excluding players that have also come in close contact with someone that tested positive.  This shouldn’t be looked at as 9-10 guys tested positive.

Bingo!
