This disease is going to spread logarithmically and every human interaction is a potential transmission. Obviously it is not practical for everyone just to stay home, but it is absolutely advisable not to go to gatherings of people. Well, if it’s going to spread logarithmically, then the entire population will have had it before the end of April, and it will all be over well before the DCI season starts.

HockeyDad Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) I wonder if anyone is thinking this through. We are in such a nanny state mentality we want “somebody” to take care of us while we hide under the covers and hope it all goes away. Ok. And so the nanny state responds. Example - close schools. Ok. School is closed. Now what? Where do the kids go? Do they have to stay inside their homes? Can they play together? Do they need adult supervision? Who will do that? And - when will you reopen the school? What criteria will you use to decide? When no new cases exist? What if that means school remains shuttered until the end of the school year? Ugh. Yes it’s bad. The flu is bad. There are deaths. That’s horrible. So is the panicked reaction. How about - Wash your hands. Stay home if you’re sick. Stay away from people if you’re sick. Avoid large crowds if you’re at risk. And if you’re at risk you know it. You know what to do. Stop panicking.

rpbobcat Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Only 3 cases in state of Ohio,none at OSU . But they canceled in person classes till March 30. Whether you consider this an overreaction or not,things like this are creating disruptions in all kinds of activities. If schools do continue to shut down and have to be cleaned and sanitized,I can't see how this won't impact Drum Corps,including facilities for Spring Training.
