    You put a lot more thought into your estimate than I did into mine, lol.

      I thought this article was very good:

      The U.S. may end up with the worst COVID-19 outbreak in the industrialized world. This is how it’s going to play out.
      More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

        So Japan and South Korea might actually have baseball.
        Are there any fantasy baseball options covering those leagues? Maybe we could do one manually at first, automating it as the season progresses. We could build up a site while playing it.

          In! Should we use players from both leagues or choose one or the other?

            I want to go downstairs and start cooking dinner, but RJEL Girl can't stop listening to the news. I'd rather have my fingernails pulled out than have to listen to the daily WH briefing.

                she's calling the PoTUS an asshole and audibly scoffing on the regular, but still watching.

                    I'm going to stop trying to come up with the next line to this joke since all my choices have either been dark, racist or homophobic (he plays for the Yakult Swallows).

                      That's funny. Add a little racism in there with some dogs and trailers and you are there.

                            thanks all... really not sure what to do today. It feels like I should celebrate or something, but it's the same as every other day in isolation. I'm thinking of working tonight just to get out.

                              My son had his birthday yesterday. It was not a very triumphant party, but we did the best we could. The days do all run together now.
