Anyone here think that the 2020 cross country season could be jeopardized from this outbreak? I feel like there is a chance that this will not be eradicated by the fall. Yes, I know it is selfish to worry about something as inconsequential as cross country in the midst of this situation, but this is letsrun so I come here for running-related questions and thoughts.
It will very probably be under control by then. If it's not, then covid19 is just a fact of life that's here to stay. At some point we're going to just be forced to move on, virus or not.
Don't worry about that now. Train as you normally would over the summer. It's very unlikely the world will be locked down for a full 6 months.
There is a chance, no doubt.
If you read what the experts are saying...this is NO joke. If social distancing works to help flatten the curve, it will save lives. However, it won't stop this. The government came out yesterday that this pandemic will last 18 months. From what I am seeing, if we simply stop social distancing once the curve is flattened, the spike could come right back.
Guys - Read the latest reports. If the US does nothing, millions will die here. If the US does what we are doing now, but goes back to normal too quick, millions will still die. A vaccine is needed before things go back to normal.

In addition to XC all the other Fall sports are in jeopardy including the biggest of them all, Football. If there's no football there will most likely be no XC either. Football is, after all, the cash cow that finances every other sport on campus.
No. The estimates are mostly around 500,000 if nothing was done. These measure are supposed to get it down to 200,000.
At this point, who knows?
