If we're looking at late summer before things get back to semi-normal, we'd need to look at some creative ideas ... how about a March Madness type of tournament for all teams - each round is best of 5 games (can't start the same starter twice) ... would take 5 rounds / 25 days, plus a few days off sprinkled in ...It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

They would need 2 weeks to prepare, so we’re looking at June 1 at the earliest. They could still get a 100-game season in with a June 1st start.
But I’m quickly getting less and less optimistic.

So we're killing the global economy for a 48-hour bug?
FROM ROTOWORLD:
The Yankees have confirmed that a second minor leaguer has tested positive for coronavirus.
The player was under self-quarantine when he reported to the club that he had a fever and fatigue. That prompted the test on Sunday, which came back positive for COVID-19. The Yankees say that the player's symptoms have dissipated over the last 48 hours.

we are killing economy to stretch out spread of a pandemic, that left unchecked will kill millions. borrowing a link posted by dmt last night, https://twitter.com/jeremycyoung/sta...643357696?s=19
this virus targets elderly and those with compromised immune systems. the young are virtually immune, but would still be carriers. a pro athlete would shrug off effects felt like rain off a ducks back. the player would infect his 50 year old father, who would feel like he got hit by a super flu and laid out for 2 weeks. the players 75 year old grandfather may end up in icu needing ventilator.

Yahoo! Fantasy has updated the season start date to 5/7 based on "the latest information". I don't see anything official from MLB.
