DevilMinder Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Just had our first death in Freehold, NJ (Centrastate) which is 10 minutes from me. I've pretty much decided that my usual Sunday cup of coffee on main street isn't that desirable anymore. Wonder if the ECHL completely cancelling the season will trickle up to the bigger leagues.

Satans Hockey Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) I've been staying home, with literally everything I do entertainment wise being canceled I don't have any need nor desire to go out just to go out. Obviously not everyone can work from home but too many people are going out just to go out because they aren't taking this seriously. We could end it quicker if people would just stay home. It shouldn't be difficult to make short term sacrifices such as skipping bars and parties to be better off in the long run. At least one of our guys gets it...

Nicomo Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 We seem to be getting close to full lockdown here in Ohio. Our governor is closing all dine-in restaurants, bars, etc. Count me as another that never thought they’d see anything like this. I also saw that the movie Outbreak is in the top 10 on Netflix right now. Wtf is wrong with people? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) It is amazing that when we now have more outlets to avoid actual social interaction and still keep up with each other and live our lives (ordering takeout instead of dining out, using Facetime and texting instead of in-person gatherings, shopping remotely), we're less willing to actually use them when it's neccesary.

Talk about increasing panic... At least coronavirus doesn’t have an insanely high mortality rate, unlike the virus in Outbreak, which basically killed within a day or two after infection, regardless of age, general health, etc. I can’t imagine if something like some super strain of Ebola ever got out in real life...Jesus H. I’d never leave the damned house. Edited March 15, 2020 by Colorado Rockies 1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t surprise me if the lesser-known (but far superior) Contagion is seeing an increase in viewership as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m probably horrendously misinformed though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
