Coronavirus
« on: March 13, 2020, 11:19:28 AM »
Has any leagues been cancelled that some of you bowl in due to the Coronavirus ? A tournament I was going to bowl in pulled the plug. I'm in Ohio where mass gatherings of 100 or more are prohibited. Things are changing daily so it could be an adjustment after the 2 p.m. press conference.

There have been major changes in sanitation and hygiene over the past 200 years. Which is a reason we have no been worried about the plague (until now).

Last one, was post WW1. I guess nothing just happened that could have weakened people to be more susceptible. Total mystery. It just happened.

No no no, would you like to know what this is?

Follow along with me now. This was a #showerthought and is usually how I think when alone for more than 5 minutes lol.

The planet is sick. Global warming is basically the planet having a fever. What is the human bodies reaction to an infection? Fever. Then the antibodies race in and try to fight the infection.

Our way of life is the cause of the infection. Look at how much pollution has decreased in just 2 weeks. This is the planets way of fixing itself.

I live in northern WI and many counties in our area have had no reported cases. Our area and northern MN areas have large amounts of seasonal residents. Right now both are asking that people do not come from IL and metro areas in WI and MN. WI counties have gone as far as putting out warnings telling seasonal folks to not come, but if they do, don't stop and shop. Bring enough food for 14 days because they are to self-quarantine at their vacation homes. They are still coming for just the weekend and stopping at grocery stores/meat markets and gas stations. There are no bars or restaurants open. I would like to know if you guys think there is nothing wrong with them coming up? Many say this is anti-tourism. Any thoughts?

The media is creating fear and paranoia.

This will have very bad consequences for people's emotional states. Blaming other groups or people for spreading disease.

I'm sure this will continue past any gov't announcement to get back to work.

Don't be surprised if see violence over it.

Since actual death rats are still way within what we normally see from such illnesses and nothing would have been noticed if not told to be worried a virus (coronavirus is always around, it a common cold virus), that makes this all the more crazy.

This about sums it up. Trump reportedly called former Yankees player Alex Rodriguez to ask for his thoughts on handling the coronavirus outbreak

As of this morning, MN had 441 confirmed cases of the virus with 5 deaths, while WI was at 900 with 16 deaths.  I wouldn't worry about MN people coming into WI.  If anything, MN should be worried about WI visitors.

Anti-tourism?  That's a new one. 

Can't people in general just stay put for several weeks like they are being asked, until the number of cases start to level off and drop?  I am starting week 3 of shelter in place and have only left the house twice to get groceries and come right back home.  We are starting to hear that it may be extended for 6 more weeks.  It sucks, yes, but it is necessary.

Even though my Bolero center is closed until further notice(we were officially notified that it would be two weeks--haven't received anything further from the center or league since) I imagine this is the theme

Bowler19525,
You are right we should just be able to just stay in place and keep this from getting worse. You are also right WI has more cases than MN but they do very little seasonal things in MN. You missed my point a little as our area in Northern Wi has not had any reported cases. We also don't want any seasonals from metro areas in WI either. We just want to control the spread as much as we can it it only seems common sense.

The seasonal people need to wait and start their seasonal activities when it is safer to do so.  The problem is people aren't taking the issue seriously.

Any word on if the USBC is going to refund part of our dues because of our inability to bowl for part of the year?

Can't see them doing that, and don't blame them for not doing that.

Trump's latest presser basically says centers will be closed through April. Sure hope the local ones can survive this
