  1. Kind of reminiscent of climate change science.
  2. Yes, it’s not the media sticking money into mattresses or building toilet paper forts. It’s our fellow citizens.
  3. PBS streaming Ken Burns' Baseball for free. https://www.pbs.org/show/baseball/
  4. Oh, absolutely. Now, I picked up a 3 month supply of my meds, and am waiting to see how well my job and my class at the U. adapt to the new reality. And catching up some on my reading backlog.
  5. Coronavirus testing in South Korea: 1. Drive to a testing station 2. Stay in your car 3. It takes less than 10 minutes 4. Results texted to you the next day Done. Oh, and it's paid for by national healthcare.
  6. And all the stubborn old men (and women) who for some mysterious reason still care about the wellness of their fellow human beings and are doing what’s in their power to help.
  7. So, if one believes this is true for Domingo German, it’s unlikely anyone’s suspension will be reduced to count the missed games. Including Pineda. https://nypost.com/2020/03/14/coronavirus-to-delay-domingo-germans-return-to-yankees/
  8. Try logging out and then logging back in.
  9. The Catcher was a Spy. - Nicholas Dawidoff About the life of Moe Berg. Much better than the film version. Baseball and Philosophy: Thinking Outside the Batter’s Box. - Eric Bronson (ed.) Yes, baseball has a philosophy. Why is it so special to us?
  10. I wish all of you and your families good health.
  11. Take a look at Italy. Reuters reports that there are now 463 people dead and 9172 cases. Based on those numbers alone, that would mean more than 5% of those diagnosed have succumbed to the virus in Italy. It’s quite a jump from Sunday when the death toll stood at 366 and on Saturday when it was 233.
  12. I'm happy for you. Curiously, there are other people on the planet, some of whom may not be as fortunate.
  13. You might have to settle for statistics. https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-updates-united-states.html Here are some for Canada. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection.html Anyway, I wonder if there is a middle ground to be found someplace in between hoarding toilet paper and playing Sgt. Schultz.
  14. And for those who don't mind a little math with their beer.
  15. The WHO. No, not Roger Daltrey. https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/myth-busters
  16. I've already had flu and pneumonia shots; it's the unknown strains that new mutations form that are of concern. For example COVID-19 has already mutated from the original S strain to the current L strain, which is the form proving lethal to humans in some (~ 2%) of cases. Also, in Japan there have been incidents reported of patients who were designated as recovered and later found to be re-infected.
  17. A useful resource for the tech/data folks to ferret out information. https://coronavirustechhandbook.com
  18. I wouldn't be too sure about that. Epidemiologsts are suggesting up to 70% of the worlds' population could be infected. With a 2% fatality rate, that's a 100 million deaths worldwide. As someone in the threatened demographic, I need to care. I agree I do not need to panic, which is counterproductive to any response. Apparently some German researchers are testing an existing vaccine for effectiveness. This could reduce the time to field deployment by some months if successful.
  19. Hold on to your butts.
  20. Only if he can do a somersault on the base paths while running out a triple.
