Well, we didn’t even make it through the first day of the MLB season without a major issue because of coronavirus.
It’s an unfortunate reminder that we’re not out of the woods just yet. Yes, we’re making great progress but we clearly have a bit more of the war to fight.
#Mets #Nationals had a schedueled off-day on Friday, but the teams will not play the opener that day either. MLB plan is to be cautious in part because easier makeups with teams being division rivals/close proximity

Now, some in the media are almost certainly going to paint a picture of doom and gloom thanks to the game scheduled for today being called off.
Ignore them at all costs. Sports have been doing well for the most part lately. We finished the NFL season, crowned a national champion in college football and the Final Four starts Saturday.
One hiccup doesn’t ruin all of our progress.
