    The NCAA needs to get on with it and cancel the tournament. Men's, women's, DI, II and III, all of them. Every sport. If schools are shutting down, their activities should shut down with them. Sports is about as non-essential as non-essential travel gets.

    I respect a good side hustle but reselling Clorox is just awful.

    Ok? Then stop them. There is absolutely no reason to play, other than money. Hope all the sickness and death is worth lining the NCAA fatcats' pockets.

    @WriteThinking, I've taken some precautions. My household ticks too many boxes in the vulnerable category for there to be the usual junkets.
    Stuff I'm going to miss until things get safer:
    Church
    Road Trips
    Watching Rugby and Lacrosse
    Galleries
    Cheap LaChoy Egg Rolls

    Okay, the last thing on that list has nothing to do with Covid-19.

    Other Nashvillians may back me up on this. Middle Tennesseans are prone to panic buying and hoarding. They're like that one dog who gets dragged to church or work events for pets and wees all over the floor when the breakroom microwave timer goes off. The last few times there were bad hurricanes and when that pipeline broke? People were buying up gas. While the rest of the southeast was just fine, Nashville was curled into a fetal ball, pooping itself and praying the hot chicken wouldn't run out.

    To wit, I stocked up on a few things to protect myself from my fellow Tennesseans.

    .270 ammo, a roll of Skoal and three bottles of Mad Dog 20/20?

    edit: @swingline The Mad Dog might distract the lichs. Good idea!

    edit #2: It's lichs. Damn you, Grammarly!

    A New York woman in her 40s who arrived in Las Vegas on March 5 to attend the Women of Power Summit at the Mirage has it. She was hospitalized on March 8 and is in stable condition.
