News: MLS Suspends season due to Coronavirus

The government doesn’t seem to care about that. For them, it’s just the economy that matters.

 

You don't, because some legitimately cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons, and some will refuse because of "muh body muh choice" or the fear there may be some Autism Juice buried deep in the vaccination.

Absent a unified nationwide EMR, you do the best you can on a local level.

Given the level of panic porn we've seen in the national media of late, probably the first person who develops a rash from the vaccine will be enough to get politicians trying to ban the vaccination "out of an abundance of caution."

 

Which is good seeing as how Florida has handled this crisis so expertly. If we're going to start somewhere, Florida is certainly the place.

 

Disney ain't Florida.

Moderna scam coming?

 

It's not impossible, but the way those options are structured certainly makes it appealing to exercise them after a price spike.

It's important to note that the government is heavily involved in that trial and they approved the release of the trial data. Faucci even sounded cautiously hyped about it on NPR and he is in charge of the government's oversight of that vaccine development.

 

The head of project warp speed was on the board of Moderna. So they figured it would become widely known what their results were at that point. They announced positive but preliminary results and priced a secondary offering off the price spike. Stock is now below where it was when they announced the results for the 8 people.

 

To their credit, fox has moved the bundesliga classico to fs1.

 

It's not like they have a ton of content currently.............can't really credit an obvious decision...

 

FS2... Of all the games to put there lol

 

They've had a lot of DGAF attitude with the Budesliga, probably a result of them losing the rights starting next season (and the fact that ratings have been a disappointment since they picked up the contract), but sounds like they got better than average ratings last weekend. It'll be interesting to see if they hold up this weekend.

 

I'm still watching and I've never watched this league before

 

EuroBall is weekend background TV for me regardless. I've watched a little closer this season (pre-COVID) just because there's an actual title race this year.

 

Unusually close races in Italy and Germany. I'll probably lose all interest once the MLS tournament starts though.

 

Dortmund and Bayern have both won their last 6.

 

That ends for one or both of them on Tuesday. Doesn't get better than that.

 

Yep. I watched three Bundesliga games this weekend and enjoyed them, but man all three were pretty much one way affairs. I need a competitive match!

 

Speaking of uneven, La Liga now has government permission to restart, and are planning to do so June 11.

 

The Belarus Cup final today had 5k fans in the stands.

 

Portuguese league starts on June 3, though I don't think it's on TV anywhere in the US. La Liga is still BeIn only, which I do not have, so I guess I am sticking with Bundeliga until Serie A starts up. Tomorrow is UEFA's deadline to present restart plans, but it seems that Serie a and the EPL will be late. Serie A will nto have government permission yet, as they are holding that meeting on the 27th. EPL is being extra special and can't come to an agreement even though they already have government permission.

 

Nevada athletic commission also voting on the 27th on whether to allow combat sports in Nevada again. If they vote 'yes' then we will probably see the return of boxing joining UFC, and other MMA promotions will probably host cards too.

NOTE: There is now a travel ban to the US from Brazil, so that will affect the UFC.

 

I think there’s supposed to be a big boxing Card June 6th.

Thx,

Jay!

 

How are they handling access of the players? Are they living with their families?

I saw one of the managers was suspended for the first game because he left the hotel to go buy toothpaste. So there seem to be some restrictions to keep those involved from mingling. (Cue Frank Ribery jokes...)

 

Provided the fighters maintain social distancing there shouldn't be a problem, or much of a contest.
