Covid-19 Pause Request

[Preds]

Guys I don't know how things are in your states, but here in NY, even on the western side of the state (6 hours from the epicenter) things are BAD. FF is honestly the furthest thing from my mind as I deal with trying to keep 2 businesses afloat, deal with an 80% reduction in business at the medical practice, and 100% reduction at my travel agency, a 75% workforce reduction at the medical practice (laying people off SUCKS), and 70+ hour workweeks trying to save the medical practice from insolvency, all the while hoping not to catch this deadly virus.

I hope your towns and cities don't get hit as bad as we have, but truthfully expect everyone to get hit as bad eventually without strict measures such as strong stay at home orders, and strong limits on essential businesses and activities.

I beg you all to stay home and limit interactions with others outside your household to the absolute minimum. Social interactions with others need to be limited as much as possible. No visiting with family and friends, No team sports. No Basketball, no Tennis, no Football, nada. All in-person congregations that are outside your household need to be kept to a minimum with as many protective measures taken as possible on the rare instances when you do have in-person interactions. Not even in-person church services are essential during this crisis.

This virus is not to be dismissed, it's not a joke. It's very real and nobody is immune to it. Please, take it seriously. Honestly, if you're not scared, you should be. I speak with several doctors of varying specialties each week on Zoom group calls, and they're terrified, what you've seen on the news isn't the half of it.

In light of everything going on, I just can't even consider deadlines and roster management for FF in either league at this time. So many more important things to focus on.

I honestly think both leagues should take a pause for a couple months, until things hopefully return to normal.

I have no problem pushing dates back a month, and see what happens. Reassess the situation mid May, and see if another month is needed.

If no one objects, I'll update the season timelines by the end of this week.

I've never been busier as a pastor. Trying to keep my church going 'virtually' and make sure that folks in my congregation have the food and essentials they need, as well as keep in touch with folks so they don't become too isolated. A month back is fine with me.

No objections.

[wchmego]

Fine by me, stay safe everyone.

I’m good with it all. I’m stuck in Congo with no idea when I’ll see home again so it’s hard to follow players anyway.

[Doggler]

I can support this.

As a "technology coach" at a HS, I have rarely been as busy as I've been these past 4 weeks. The camper has become my office.

Still doesn't look like the apocalypse out here, but that could change. I know people who have gotten it, and know people who have lost people because of it, but I can count them on one hand still.

Be safe, all.

Sorry to hear that you have been personally affected by this crap Sean. Glad you are still working.
I myself am lucky to only know one person who has had mild symptoms (lost their sense of smell for about a week) - but other than that, everyone is staying healthy.

I am still working, and have been working from home for years, so my life is pretty much normal, as we do not go out much during the week anyway...weekends can get a bit boring, staying in, but you do what you gotta do. I go for walks around the block, and people are pretty good...one of us strays from sidewalk into street to keep our distance....

As you might imagine Las Vegas has been severely impacted by the non-essential shutdowns.. I am fortunate that the IT work I do is even MORE relevant now and we are considered essential, but my wife's business have been shutdown so we are also dealing with the financial impact and really the last thing on my mind lately has been FF. I am good pushing everything back 30-days..

[pacificscrub]

Defintely good with 30 days and a re-evaluation.

[Burt the Butcher]

How is everyone doing? Anyone needing more time to get ready to start our season?

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

Dang... that month went by kinda fast (in terms of thinking of fantasy football). But UBER SLOW in terms of everything else.

I'm open to either option... pushing it back or gearing back up. I've kind of found my new rhythm.

[wchmego]

I've been busy with work since having to lay off employees, but am ready...
Just hope we have a football season!

[Miners]

Whatever is decided is good by me. Still stuck in Congo, missing live sports, even if it is soccer and cricket.

[Doggler]

I'm ready when everyone else is.

[Liquid Swords]

Ready. I should have 2019 app up to date with transactions and mfl discrepancy checks later tonight
