Ivy League Cancels Basketball Season

The sooner the vaccine is available, and utilized, the sooner life gets back to a semblance of normalcy. Warp speed, aina?

Warp Speed seems to be working .  Production is in place when the vaccine is approved and then as you point out life gets back to normal.

So you believe controlling the virus should be the priority?

Well earliest available to general public is April. Need two doses 3 months apart and about 3 months after second shot for immunity that might not last a whole year. Might have some normalcy by end of 2021, but don't expect regular normalcy.

Pfizer didn't take any money from Warp Speed.

The problem is, people are dying NOW.  What we need is a national lockdown for the next 4-6 weeks (with adequate funding for relief for businesses and individuals).  Those 4-6 weeks will suck, but I'll take it if it means I get 20 more years with my parents instead of a couple months.

One day it will be just like a miracle and disappear, Ai na?

Back to basketball; are we playing at the Al or FF? Hope we got a big discount to play at FF.

FF according to social media. Listening to Simmons and Ruessilo a couple of weeks ago, NBA is looking at $4billion losses this season. For those smarter then me, does that put MU in a better or worse situation in their relationship with Bucks ownership?

But is that truly $4B in "losses" or is it revenue missed out on?  I suspect the latter.  In other words, can NBA franchises still turn a profit with national and local TV\radio money and merchandise sales, even without fans?  I don't know the answer.  However I doubt that NBA owners are going to be shelling out $4B just to break even, so it's a missed opportunity more than a loss.

The schedule says FF.  They have had practices there.  So my guess is the FF.

Lots of tensions.

Keep this about hoops (even though it's probably superbar material... But I'll take any hoops news now)

It is probably pretty close to the same thing. I am not sure the owners make much money on their teams. They make most of their money as the value of franchises increase.
