MEDIA IGNORES 90% CORONAVIRUS DEATH COLLAPSE IN COUNTRY
https://outkick.com/media-ignores-90-co ... n-country/
On Sunday a major positive milestone was reached for the first time, coronavirus deaths declined by 90% in this country from the high set on April 21st. That’s an incredibly positive story about our national battle with the virus. Yet, shockingly, it has received almost no media attention.
That’s indefensible because this is not complicated data to track down. You can see it yourself on this chart here, on April 21st 2,693 people died of the coronavirus. Yesterday 267 died. Putting that number into perspective, an average of 7200 people died on Sunday of something other than the coronavirus and those deaths received almost no media attention at all.
The 90% decline in the death rate is just a fact. You're the one making it political.El Sapo wrote: ↑June 23rd, 2020, 12:21 pmYou guys above make a perfect example for my argument.

Because NBA teams are flush with money and able to cover the $100+ million in player salaries they will have for next season without fans in the seats or money from concession sales. And that ignores salaries for coaches, trainers, and other necessary support staff. TV money will not cover it nor will merchandise sales. Sporting events without fans is financial suicide for teams and they know it. That is the main reason MLB has not started yet.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑June 22nd, 2020, 8:21 pmIt probably means playing the season with limited fans.

Just out of curiosity - what does this mean? What is the smart way to go about things?
Are they going to restrict attendance to 20% capacity? Who gets in?
Are they going to make people show up 6 hours early and get in line so they can take everyone's temperature and answer a series of medical questions before they let them in?
Are they going to hire more staff to continuously wipe surfaces throughout the stadium/bathrooms throughout the game and again when everyone leaves?
Are they going to have ushers continuously go up and down the aisles looking for people that aren't wearing their facemasks and have them removed (after they have their temperature taken again, of course)?

Covid case they treat in addition to the bill they already give to the patient. So now the numbers are totally shot to hell.
22 just summarized my feelings perfectly. Every source I have seen to this point shows that approximately 95% of the deaths from this virus are in high risk populations. This data has not really changed from the beginning. This virus is not going away. Everyone cannot hide forever. Social decency and caring for you neighbor should be the common sense response here.aggies22 wrote: ↑June 26th, 2020, 10:54 amThis is where I think this whole ordeal smells a little like $hit.

Yes, we should all be happy that the mortality rate has dropped by 90%. And, let's completely ignore the fact that over 125,000 people have lost their lives in the past 3-4 months due to an incompetent administration who has (I can't express myself without swearing) up their response to this national disaster at every turn.

Are they going to make people show up 6 hours early and get in line so they can take everyone's temperature and answer a series of medical questions before they let them in?
Are they going to hire more staff to continuously wipe surfaces throughout the stadium/bathrooms throughout the game and again when everyone leaves?
Are they going to have ushers continuously go up and down the aisles looking for people that aren't wearing their facemasks and have them removed (after they have their temperature taken again, of course)?
Are people going to put up with this? Or just say "screw it, I'll watch on TV or go find something else to do".
I don't know what the "smart way to go about things" is.
They want to cancel the contract because UCLA sucks. It's just easier to blame it on all the instability in the sports world.Yossarian wrote: ↑June 27th, 2020, 9:18 pmDominos starting to fall

Under Armor looking to terminate a marketing contract with UCLA. No sports - no reason for Under Armor to pay money to UCLA. The school is already being hit by loss of revenue due to the COVID. What chance do the little schools have? Are television contracts next? Have seen the end of bigtime college sports? Who can survive if there is no season this year? The world is changing.
