Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Yeah, that was my point. My original post that was being responded to:


"You wanna hear a frightening statistic?

Alabama has 15,477 hospital beds, total. Alabama has 4.9 million people.

I don't even want to think about the respirator count."

 

Houston, after holding out forever in keeping its annual rodeo open, just cancelled it 11 days early:

RODEO CANCELLED: RodeoHouston expected to shut down early amid coronavirus concerns

 

My state's ratio is worse: 24,026 beds with a 6.14 million population.

 

Add Michigan State and Central Michigan to the schools going to online classes

 

It's getting real now. Not the CBI.
PS - for as much crud as the non-NCAA tourneys get, when you have 80 of 130 football teams play in bowl games - I don't think it's nuts that 132 of 347 D1 basketball teams play in a postseason tournament.

From President Mandel: ”I am writing with deep regret to inform you that Williams College will end in-person classes on Friday, March 13, and dismiss students for spring break on Saturday, March 14, a week earlier than planned. We will be moving to remote learning beginning on Monday, April 6.

This decision is among the hardest I’ve ever made. My heart goes out to everyone, and especially seniors, for whom this is the last semester on campus...Let me begin, however, by acknowledging how disruptive and difficult this is. I’m truly sorry.” Please visit williams.edu/coronavirus for latest information

 

I’m putting my personal Vegas line at 2 million Americans infected and 10,000 deaths.

 

If the Conference USA office had two brain cells to rub together, they would announce that no one would be attending the conference tournament on purpose.

 

I'm taking the over...

 

I suspect that the raw infected number will be far higher, and unfortunately the fatality ratio of this virus says that means many more deaths.
