If my kids can play baseball in June and July, these elite level athletes won't have much trouble. It's the umpires and coaches you need to worry about

I've been a baseball fan all my life, and I've played in and watched some pretty awful games. I can't imagine how boring this will be.

Having worked in the business, I'm not too sure I'd want to be packed in a TV production truck right now either. Maybe they'll just use one camera, sort of like watching the game on a 7-11 convenience store surveillance camera. That will be exciting.

Well, it's not like there's zero sports and TV productions here in the Summer. If anyone wants to wuss out and sit at home, NEXT!

It's not the heat I'd be worried about. They keep those trucks nice and cool for the equipment. It's the half-dozen other folks you're locked in there with for a two plus hour stretch I'd be more frightened about. It would be roughly equivalent to taking an airline flight every day on a puddle-jumper jet. Speaking of which, hopefully they'll keep the crews in place locally rather than fly folks in and out from LA and elsewhere. The whole thing just gives me chills.

Arizona just lowered its request from the Federal government from 5000 ventilators to 500, looks like we are in pretty good shape. I have no confidence in the so called experts seems like they hyped this thing big time or are just guessing but pretending like they know more than we do when its anyone's guess how this will play out.Also it looks like the treatment of the combination of hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and zinc sulfate is safe, effective ,and Doctor approved and will be my first choice if I get the virus even though fauci and birx refuse to acknowledge how successful it has been.

Your first choice? What makes you think it is going to be available if you or I need it? I've read there is hoarding of these drugs and they may not be available when needed. Heck, we can't even find toilet paper and there is no reason to be hoarding TP.

Also, we might only need 500 ventilators now with social distancing in place. What will we need when things are opened back up?

Lots of questions that have not been answered yet.

I don't look at it that way. It's called "cautiously optimistic". In NYC, see what the virus CAN do. Tons of interactions because of the sheer volume of people ==lots of chaos. Meanwhile, millions in NYC alone are in lockdown.

Now I suppose someone could say I see a dark cloud. I view it as being analytical. YMMV.

All that said, it's looking a lot better today than a couple of weeks ago. No doubt some of it was hype. At the same token, some of this better is because of the social distancing. And so the big debate will go on and on for years to come. Hopefully the USA will be more prepared next go around.

I hear ya, man,; its just after weeks of endless despair, paranoia, obsessive fear of the end of the world, I prefer to look at the positive aspect of things, not just now, but in life in general..cancelling the fed delivery of ventilators here, good news; not "what happens if we need more"..possible healing effects of some drugs...good news, not "what makes you think you will be able to even get them"..

You know the saying, "glass half empty, glass half full", choose your outlook on life and live with it..
Just dont focus on what might be bad, look for what might be positive..
