LKTiger06 13 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 schools are limited to 500 tickets apiece, which I feel is a bit high and wont impact attendance at all Link to post Share on other sites
NATUREBOY98 3,576 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 This virus bs is just a scare tactic. I can see changing some personal hygiene tactics and how you might do a few things different while interacting with the public. Shutting down the nation is just dumb. Houston Livestock Show was canceled too. There’s no telling what the economic impact will be. I’m going to beat someone with a bat if I hear it was Trumps fault one more damn time. 5 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Unashamed 2,080 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 All public schools will be closed 3-4 weeks. All Non essential businesses will be closed 3-4 weeks. This will be the beginning of the return of the gold standard. Link to post Share on other sites

flukeshot 77 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Honestly, I'm shocked it ever even started. You can agree or disagree with the need to cancel things, I'm not going to wade into that, but the "policy" that the UIL had announced this morning was CYA without the actual C. Either let everyone in and hold it as normal or cancel it. Kind of it doing it halfway isn't limiting your liability. Link to post Share on other sites

Texski 20 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 55 minutes ago, Eagleborn said: With weather warming up and those two being outside possibly no? The NCAA just wiped out baseball softball and all other spring sports so guessing UIL not far behind. I have a friend who's daughter plays Lacrosse at Old Dominion U in VA and they just had a meeting earlier this afternoon telling them season is over. Link to post Share on other sites
JasonDellaRosa 22 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 At minimum, the UIL will halt all activities for the next few weeks, with an eye on a April 6 return. Baseball games missed won't be made up -- I could see softball doing double-headers to make sure everything gets played but it will end up coming down to each district on how to handle it The other sports -- track, tennis, golf -- won't be largely affected for playoffs since the district competitions are in that first week after the 6th to stay in some sort of normal schedule.

DaveTV1 2,513 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I've been using 1918 as a benchmark for how we should be responding to many things. The Spanish Influenza killed 50 million people world wide and 675,000 in the U.S.. At that time in History WW I was winding down, but the H1N1 virus was killing civilians. While some sports events were cancelled because of the War they did not panic, because of the Spanish Flu. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1918_in_sports https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/1918-pandemic-h1n1.html Link to post Share on other sites
