    Always come to AMT for the most reasoned, calm discussion.  In particularl you should discuss a combination of Sweden and trans athletes competing in organized sports.  
    Oh man, this kills me!

    What a bizarre argument.   I guess they should cancel shows over the scourge of cancer too. It's just as rational.

    My former high school is being closed tomorrow due to it. Was actually there on Sunday for volleyball.

    Fans seem fairly supportive of the band in porch? It is a tough decision, although confusing. 3 major leagues plus ncaa have hundreds of games scheduled with packed arenas? Commuters on packed subways busses and trains? My wife is coughing in the bedroom now. Do I sleep on the couch? Our children going to school with hundreds of other kids. Kids are notoriously not careful about germs. Work, about a hundred co workers all going in a hundred different directions. Many have kids with germs. And maybe a few even shook hands with trump.

    Is all this getting shut down? Because if not, I’m struggling to understand how missing one show is going to improve my odds of surviving this virus. Maybe 1%? Trying to be positive and understanding.

    My wife was heading east on Highway 50 today heading home after visiting a friend and said she saw about 100 face masks strewn along the side of the road- probably from a carton of masks that busted open. I'm guessing this could have been because someone had a case of these things that wasn't secured in the back of their pickup truck and they went airborne. Terrible!

    People keep cancelling shit will only further everyone’s concern or panic, whichever you want to call it.

    Which will slow the spread of infectious diseases.  Including the flu, which everyone suddenly cares about for the first time ever since it helps them make an anti-...whatever point.

    I’m excited to listen to 538’s latest podcast entry. It’s titled “is even Coronavirus partisan?”

    Of course it is, there's science involved and the media is reporting on it.  The new brand of conservative has to reject it on sight based off those two points.  All my "conservative" (really, this means anti-liberal) FB friends post about it being a hoax to take down Trump, and saying it happens at every election.  They share memes with incorrect dates attributed to previous epidemic scares to link them to minor and major elections.
    You can't listen to scientists and scholars and still be team Red, you just can't.

    The same ol' flu is both more infectious and more deadly.  The difference is every single case of it isn't being blasted on 24 hour news channels, putting everyone into a panic frenzy.

    Mr President have you been tested (cue picture of Trump shaking hands with quarantined patient)

    Mr President will the 30 million uninsured be tested (cue picture of trump and VP turning their backs and walking out)
