Unfortunately you are correct.....and maybe longer as it has to be tested....Not liking this whole scenario

I was joking earlier that I'm glad we won the Grey Cup when we did as there may be no season. Unfortunately, that could really happen.

Baseball is irrelevant until October.

(a little tongue in cheek but with 162 games in a season, it's a little hard to get jacked about it until games actually mean something)

That’s your opinion on it. I understand a lot of people aren’t fans of it, but with tons of game on everyday, gonna cut into viewership lots.

Not likely as a vaccine is at least a year away. 

A year at the minimum with all the tests they have to do first.

Year, year and a half before it goes for clinical trials. Longer before it reaches the masses. 

Seattle will be playing in front of a crowd of 0 this week, per the governor... game still televised...

the WHO basically has said with awareness and due diligence that this is the first time a pandemic that can be controlled...people =just need to be smart and Governments need to stay on top of thjings and control whats going on within  their borders...

Took 8 months to develop and test the H1N1 vaccine in 2009.  Apparently the scientists are dumber today, so it will a year and a half to two years.  Buy shares in companies that make hand sanitizer today and sell in about August.

getting more interesting now... all NCAA basketball tournaments, both men and women, conference and national play, will play in front of no crowd... 

When are the Flames going to clue in & play in an empty Saddledome?

I joked with my buddy the other day. Bombers win the Grey Cup and the world is gonna end!

I'm hoping that some miracle occurs and this is under control sooner then later. I've been waiting as long as I did to see the bombers win a GC, to see Rage against the machine live. I have floor tickets. Please. Dont. Cancel!!!!

Of course Rage and Tool come to town and the plague strikes.

Guy from American CDC was on Joe Rogan show and said the vaccination is about 8-10 months away and that vaccinations don't go through the same kind of clinical trials and testing as medications. They either work or they don't and there is no real fear of long term effects. The big impediment is producing them fast enough at a global level.

Very interesting segment, he also said Coronavirus is nothing new, it has been around for years and this is just a new mutation and they have been working on a vaccination for years already but this is a very resilient virus. He said that the virus has previously presented as a pretty weak strain of the flu so not a lot of money was put into vaccine research on it.

Except for autism, of course...

I think he means that the impact of long term effects is not taken into consideration.

That has been thoroughly disproved.

I watched the same one, and he gave a bit longer time line but ya.

Could be I got the timeline wrong. Wasn't memorizing it but it was definitely not 1.5 to 2 years. In fact, a US company named Moderna is organizing a clinical trial for a possible vaccine beginning next month. They are bypassing animal testing on it and so far no regulatory bodies in the US seem like they are going to shut this down.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up...

This could really be the straw that broke the camels back in terms of the xfl.

If you are talking about Michael Osterholm, then he did say it could be up to two years.

@blue85gold didn't clear it up. Science cleared it up. A while ago. The only study that linked the two has been withdrawn and was discredited. The author admitted to falsifying the data.

Lol, I wasn't being serious. I assumed the sarcasm would be evident, as none of my prior 3,800 posts have shown me to be a conspiracy theorist.

Gotcha! My sarcasm radar is not operating properly.
