Will there be a 2020 NFL draft with the fans? https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/will-the-2020-nfl-draft-be-canceled-due-to-coronavirus-heres-the-latest-on-the-situation
March 12, 2020 CBS Sports
Although the continuing spread of coronavirus has already led to the cancellation of multiple sporting events around the world and the total suspension of the current NBA season, one event that's still currently scheduled to take place is the 2020 NFL Draft.
The NFL has announced that the league is still planning to hold the draft in Las Vegas, despite the ongoing spread of COVID-19, which is the technical name of this strain of coronavirus.
"Our plans remain in place," the league said in a statement. "The NFL continues to closely monitor coronavirus developments and has been in contact with the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the NFL-NFLPA's medical experts at the Duke Infection Control Outreach Network (DICON). We will continue to monitor and share guidance as the situation warrants and as our experts recommend."
Kevin Seifert@SeifertESPNAsked @NFL about potential changes to offseason schedule due to coronavirus. Referred to earlier statement: “Our plans remain in place.”
Owners meetings in 20 days.
First offseason workouts April 6.
Full statement:
As of Wednesday, the disease has been labeled a global pandemic by the World Health Organization.
World Health Organization (WHO)@WHO🚨 BREAKING 🚨
"We have therefore made the assessment that #COVID19 can be characterized as a pandemic"-@DrTedros #coronavirus
Even if the spread of the disease continues, the NFL probably won't fully cancel the draft, and that's because it's the one event on the NFL calendar that can be held without people interacting in person. Although the league could end up canceling the portion of the draft open to the public, the rest of the event could easily be conducted through a video conference. As recently as 1994, the draft was conducted in a hotel conference room with no fans in attendance........ continued in the link.........

Yea, wouldn't that be a bite in the ass.

While I haven't bought a single extra roll of toilet paper - much less a mask, there is no way I would go to Sin City just to have a good time, much less be trapped in a large hall with 10,000 screaming and spitting neanderthals that haven't washed their hands since they were 10 years old.

I think it was actually going to be held on the streets with like 100,00 screaming, spitting neanderthals, and a few Cro-Magnon thrown in for good measure!!

America is changing in so many ways right before our eyes. We thought terrorism was the big thing but it looks like a microscopic virus is shutting down event after event even travel between continents and this is no weekend snow event it might last months or longer.
The wife just came back from the store and she said it was crazy, whole shelves empty and she left at 11 am today.
NBA looks like it's on hold, NCAA March Madness without fans, MLB to start in a few weeks and the Olympics in July.
I just hope all of this stuff is somewhat over before the NFL HOF game....... hopefully. Games on TV only ? Not fun.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

Not even that. It looks like the Big Ten has cancelled its tournament. So not even games on TV.

The Players Championship is going on.

Yep, it's a genuinely scary thing and I worry we're just getting started. My daughter is a world away in Australia and that is my biggest fear - not knowing what will become of travel as the days turn into weeks and months.

For those about to retire the market is also very scary for those who want to buy stocks, mutual funds, whatever everything is ON SALE !
And just try to relax when you read your next 401(k) statement. Your current and future purchases will also be a big bargain.

About 7 of my friends who grew up in Cleveland and I are all flying down Thursday the 23rd and staying till Monday.
Is anyone else going to Las Vegas for the draft? I've been to the Browns Backers club down there before and they're awesome people.
Regardless, I think it's a one in a life thing to do, and i'll be reppin' us hardcore.

Sorry to say, maybe years. Nothing is written we will find a vaccine for this.
We have never found a vaccine for the common cold, and it's been hounding people since the beginning of time.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

Your daughter is young so no problem there. Plus Australia has a hot weather and that prevents a bit the spreading of the virus.
Mortality rate in people younger than 50 and without any previous condition is 0,2%

We will find a vaccine. There are some projects ongoing. Coronavirus family of virus has been around for 20 years, the only kick is that we need some time to create the proper antibodies to fight every new virus.
And common cold? Under that umbrella there are hundreds of viruses.
Therefore, I find it unlikely that we will have to endure this for some years.

This reminds me very much of growing up in the 1950s and the big bad wolf then was polio and all parents were worried that their kids were going to get it, sheer terror.......and then the vaccine was found...... followed by mass inoculations.
I still remember in elementary school kids lining up single file through the auditorium until every single kid got their shot NO EXCEPTIONS.
How soon are we to that who knows exactly. Might be this summer or fall ?
If/when that happens it will be government underwritten and mandatory NO EXCEPTIONS. Good.
..........oh until that happens *almost everything is on hold including *watching most all sports.

But NOT as I said elsewhere, the NFL free agency period. Offers/negotiations can be made over the phone, contracts can be sent and signed via email.

Johnson and Johnson plans clinical trials at the end of the year on a new vaccine.
