I'm in Northern VA (Loudoun County). The Virginia HS League cancelled the remaining basketball championships and just named the 2 finalists in each division co-champions.  They're saying even if they return to school (it's been extended to mid April) that all Spring sports will be cancelled.

They must've realized that if this kills off enough senior citizens, their ratings will nosedive.

 

 

Writers are prophets.  If I didn't realize that after the fourth or fifth time the writers of "The Simpsons" had accurately predicted world events, I certainly realize it now.

On another unrelated message board - a pageant board (yes, I do pageant coaching)...someone had the nerve to say - well they've ridden Trump from the beginning and the media hates him and this is just another example.  And all the deaths are elderly and people at risk just like the flu so.....

 

I was like my GOD you people have NO Compassion or sense.  I'm surprised he hasn't started calling it Obamavirus or that Hillary started it or the media started it.  That's how SICK they are.  It's just the elderly and people at risk just like the flu and the media is blowing everything out of proportion.  

 

Well, hope their families get it is all I can say.  They're the same ones going and buying guns and 3 years worth of toilet paper.

Ironically, this illness is also affecting millennials, one of two groups (along with baby boomers) who continue to pull this nation apart, politically and ideologically.

 

Not to make light of what is, for many, a dire situation, but maybe that one meme I saw on FB is right.  Maybe the ones left standing after this is all over will be the Gen-X'ers, lol.

My state, Michigan. Their official website has some interesting numbers. We are now up to 80 cases. 1 death. 43% of cases required hospitalization.  They also break it down by age. 41% of cases are people over 60, while 59% of cases are people UNDER 60. 

 

Now 80 cases isn't much to go off, but those numbers are alarming. So I went to the State of Washington's website, since they are getting hit hard, they have 1012 confirmed cases. 52 Deaths.  They don't say how many required hospitalization, but they do also break it down by age. Only 39% are people over 60.

That's what I think too. My 50 year old neighbors invited us to a St.Patrick's day party last night. I couldn't believe it. They are teachers and should know better. It's going to take a few more weeks for people to realize that if the worst thing that happens to them is missing a party or social gathering they are going to be lucky indeed.

 

Not to be a hypocrite. I was sad that my son won't get to have a 5th birthday party with his friends and that he can't go to preschool anymore, but we have to put these things in perspective. Many people cannot or will not do that until death is staring them in the face. All you have to do is check out sites like this to see what we are in for. The rate of infection is horrific. https://ncov2019.live/data

    • You’d think he would’ve learned after the way Sprina took off.  I hope we get a proper Emma/Gio/Trina/Kai quad, as friends, romantic rivals, etc. In the few scenes that the four of them have had together, I felt like there was a natural chemistry between all of them, similar to the way that Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss was, in the beginning.  And, it would be a lot better than all this stuff with Kai’s surgery. 
    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
