What bookings are refundable now but not on May 1?

Let's wait and see...for two months.

Caesars could well be busto by May

Golf and Nascar with no live fans continues as of now.

How much money gets bet on NASCAR compared to the NBA? 4 games worth? 5 games worth?

Shutting down sports with no shutdown on stuff like subways, movies, and casinos seems senseless.

I can understand no fans at games, but shutting it all down reeks of overreaction. The one exception is NBA pause as some players are affected, so quarantine and test and resume imo.

It's all about slowing the bell curve for smoother peak. If they do nothing then it will shoot up like a rocket.

This is an extremely hopeful outlook on what quarantining might be able to accomplish!

I think they realize that a lot more people could really die if they don't quarantine and respond quickly, and that quarantining is working in other countries. If they're telling the truth, and I think they are, they're worried that tens of millions of people around the world could die. And it seems that they're actually following the lead of China, South Korea and Italy and limiting social exposure early. The health professionals are essentially saying that this is the worst pandemic since the 1957 H2N2, and could possibly be almost as bad as the spanish flu from 1918. And it seems that the authorities are actually listening.

In a real way, sort of yes. It seems that the coronavirus is infecting the respiratory tract and lungs in such a way that the body is unable to fight off incoming bacteria that it can normally handle. People end up catching pneumonia. And so it seems that people aren't actually dying from coronavirus but probably from the pneumonia itself which the coronavirus is causing. If a person were exposed to flu while suffering from coronavirus, it's much more likely that the flu would kill them. The coronavirus won't actually cause the flu, but if you're exposed to it then it is likely to be much, much worse.

I know the reason but a crowded subway that runs endlessly during the day will shoot up the bell curve 100000X more than 40 healthy hockey players in quasi hazmat suits playing in an empty arena

It’s an overreaction in sports considering other things that are running

Depends on the micrometer measurements of the droplet sizes. Some droplets from sneezes and coughs are small enough to remain airborne; others fall to the ground. The study apparently found that the SARS-CoV-2 virus hangs out in both.

1. Influenza is caused by the influenza virus. CoVID-19 is caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), one of the eight known coronviruses that can infect humans.

2. Mostly, follow the money. Land-based casinos have been afraid of the effect on their foot traffic, especially Indian casinos that monopolize many markets. Also, there is big money opposition on moral grounds (anti-gambling) by conservative right and by Sheldon Adelson.

For a comparable pandemic disease, check out the Spanish Flu, which killed an estimated 17M to 50M people worldwide:

Governments are trying to prevent a repeat of history. And actually, this one could be worse by a factor of 10 due to the much larger world population (about 4x) and the potential wider spread due to modern methods and patterns of travel.

Good luck mate.

No clue. I wasn't talking about money. I just mentioned the two sports that are still happening. Maybe you answered your own question.

I would say today has been a fairly bad day overall

lol our premier is in isolation now. Good thing trump didn't get it despite handgrabbing everyone he sees of any importance. Smart man.

They give no shits about that and who can cancel now but not on May 1st?

Golf is done now, they cancelled the Players championship as of now mid tournament.
UFC still on this weekend but I'm not holding my breath.

At least they look to be doing ok so far.

Unfortunately, Tom Hanks is a super nice and social guy who according to Entertainment Tonight, which I am currently watching, shook hands and did selfies with hundreds of locals down under.

I wish them luck and I'm happy they're fine.

What I’m hearing (from one of the ICU docs I’m pally with), is that the reason it’s killing people isnt so much the pneumonia. It’s that it’s causing a linear atelectasis that seems independent of oedema caused by inflammation, which is pretty abnormal for treating someone with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. He was also saying that the L strain seems to have an affinity for the ACE-2 receptor in your lungs. Cardiovascularly, this is actually a major player in controlling your blood pressure and it’s an enzyme targeted by a lot of first line blood pressure medications and it seems to be causing it’s own unique cardiomyopathy on top of that. He showed me some of the worst CTs they had in the ICU at the moment and some of them are pretty nasty. So if you have a comorbid cardioresp issue prior to this, I really would close down the hatches as the severe end of this disease spectrum is pretty bad even though most people will hardly feel a thing. If you don’t care about avoiding the casino for your own health do it for grandma.

Plain english please.

If your old and have breathing problems then your ****ed.

Infection= bad lung + heart. Isn’t killing people like normal pneumonia.

Dr. Peter Attia did a series of Q&A vids last night (all worth watching) and addressed the mechanism some more in the second half of the first Q&A vid here...

Too plain and overly simplistic. Can you amp up on the technical and the complexity please. But only by a little. Not as complex and technical as the first time. Thanks.
