    Default State of Illinois

    All major sporting events with large spectator crowds should be cancelled until May 1. This should include school and college events as well as major league sporting events. The Governor has spoken with the owners of all the major sports teams in Illinois and they are in full support of these measures to protect the health of their fans and will cancel all games until May 1.

    According to the phrasing, it has to be.

    MARS at Peoria and Lucas Oil at Tri-City and Macon should be affected as well.

    Why?That means you would have to cancel events every year for flu season. 20000 Americans have died this flu season. Why no freakin out over that statistic?

    Each person has a 0.1% chance of death. This is more like 2% and can possibly fill hospitals beyond capacity.

    Quit trying to politicize everything. This has nothing to do with politics. It is totally about slowing down a WORLD-WIDE epidemic.

    That death rate is only on reported cases, most people I know wouldn’t go to the doctor from the symptoms they would get. Diminishes the death rate tremendously. We have 0 reported cases in my county but they have banned any public gatherings over 25 people. If there are no sporting events until may 1st I may be the first to die from Coronavirus in my area, better get a sturdy rope

    It's 4% of known cases. It isn't 4%. Once everything shakes out, it will be much less. As several epidemic experts have said.

    Exactly, At least they are being pro active and reactive. What I don't think some don't realize is how easily this is transmitted.

    It's not as easily transmitted as the hysteria surrounding it is.........people that think for themselves and do their own research are immune to that.

    The hysteria that is.

    ^^^This^^^

    The American health care system, including facilities, will be stretched well above capacity in a worst case scenario. Hence, the proactive efforts to slow the explosion of new cases. It’s a pain in the balls, it it’s also a good move. We ain’t China. I don’t see us slamming in new hospitals in 10 days are using the army to forcibly move people to GOV quarantine areas.

    The hysteria does spread much easier than the virus......especially amongst the folks with weakened " involved in their own well being " syndrome.

    When you get told what to do and how to think all the time you eventually are trained just to nod your head and listen I guess?

    This is serious no doubt but it's pretty far down the list of my daily worries.

    I'm no trained monkey. I'm not concerned about myself at all. But my mother, the only parent I have left, would not do well with the virus.
