And now for sports...

Elbow bumps and "raising the roof" to celebrate in the dugout

Major League Baseball started their season last week, with empty stadiums, cardboard cutouts fans paid to have placed in the seats, and piped in audience cheering sound effects... and already a team is locked down and games are being cancelled because multiple players have tested positive for coronavirus.

The NBA is playing in a "bubble" based in Disney World, with nobody allowed in or out ... Except a couple players have already left (I heard one went to pick up take-out food without thinking, and one was at a strip club!), and found themselves under quarantine when they returned!

Over 7500 kids (probably underestimated) were diagnosed with COVID-19 in Tennessee.

And in the midst of all this, people are still talking about sending their kids back to school either full or part time, thinking this weird environment will be better for them than staying home, and even recognizing that schools will probably be shut back down shortly after reopening.

We really need to reconsider that shut it down, start over, do it right proposal. Andy Slavitt posted a great thread on Twitter about how the US could get things under control in just 4-6 weeks with:

1. Universal mask wearing
2. Closing hot-spots (bars, restaurants, churches, transit, etc.)
3. Prohibiting interstate travel and international travel into the US
4. Set up hotels to allow people to quarantine away from their families at no cost
