Copy only the numbers at the end of the URL, paste after clicking the Twitter icon in the top right hand corner of the box you type your message in.

The league is in the process of deciding between suspending the season or playing all games in empty arenas

There is 0% chance WSOP is happening this year

Well that escalated quickly... Obv now it's understandable and makes sense

Still, RIP WSOP

It's especially disconcerting when you consider that many of the people that would die made poor life choices such as smoking, which they really have no one to blame for but themselves.

Yeah ok, psychopath

Same goes for the fatties that you mention.

The rest of your post seems to be politarding so I just ignored it.

What about the old people? Or what about the non smokers that die? What in the **** is your problem? And because they smoke they deserve it and everything should just carry on as normal? Is that what you think should happen? We just ignore it? By your same logic, its not our fault people arent economically prepared for this. They should have money saved for emergency. They shouldnt act as if their job is something that is so secure that they dont need savings. Its there own fault for making terrible life choices and not having emergency fund.

Off to bed child, the adults are talking.

If you don't want things to get as bad as they are in Italy (where doctors are apparently already experiencing the awful dilemma of deciding whether to give the ICU oxygen tank to the 65-year-old smoker, or the 75-year-old with diabetes), the Atlantic says you have to CANCEL EVERYTHING.

Is this the reverse of Black Friday? Will everyone start playing online even if it's through shady sites that take Americans?

Well considering the economic consequences of this, I doubt it. Basically a lock to have a recession for the next year or so now.

Twtich and Netflix gonna boom tho.

Two exemptions: flights from the UK; and Americans will allowed with proper screenings. (But hard to say if that means flights will continue from any other countries for Americans.)

This is the first good news I have seen for the country. Our federal government is finally taking a serious step towards stopping the spread of CoVID-19. I actually think this makes it slightly more likely that the WSOP will not be postponed or cancelled, as it is now slightly more likely that we the virus will be eradicated in time. But only very slightly.
