    NCAA mens and womens should just find two arenas, send all the teams to them and play both tournaments in as few as days as possible.

    unlikely to stop it, but slowing it is key.

    Exactly, they are staying at The Nines and don’t know how long they will be here.

    Step 1: Test all players and refs for Covid-19
    Step 2: Fly all players and refs to an island with sporting arenas already built
    Step 3: Play the games there

    I’ve been wondering how Covid-19 would affect my work (Grubhub). Will people stop eating out all together? Will people seek to use services like Grubhub, UberEats, Doordash, Postmates more often as it limits interaction with general public?

    I haven’t let concern over the virus stop me from going out and working. I wash my hands often and try to do what I can to keep myself and the customers healthy.

    Maybe it will be end up being good for business so to speak. Last few weeks have been solid earnings wise. I’m definitely going to be keeping tabs on how busy it stays.

    I think using food delivery services could help stop the spread as long as the delivery drivers are staying health conscious.

    I was more answering the is it per game question.

    I have no idea how it works otherwise.

    But honestly, no game no pay.

    Yeah I agreed with your initial post with me being the example as I shouldve been doing more outside of that so that I could absorb that blow. But instead I worked hard and was finally seeing some good results this month. Obviously others have it a lot worse, it just sucks all the way around.

    Definitely! This left me scrambling to figure out what to do but I just brainstormed video ideas with my community to hold us over and it was very uplifting and encouraging.

    The danger per person is a bit overstated IMO, but that doesnt matter if we exceed our health care capacity. That's the big worry so this is all needed.

    2. Helmet laws
    3. Seatbelt laws

    5. Car safety laws
