Florida's Ron DeSantis became the second governor to announce that his state is open to professional sports teams that want to resume activity amid the coronavirus pandemic. "All professional sports are welcome here for practicing and for playing," DeSantis said at a news conference Wednesday in Tallahassee. "What I would tell commissioners of leagues is, if you have a team in an area where they just won't let them operate, we'll find a place for you here in the state of Florida." On Tuesday, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced that professional sports, including MLB, the NBA, the NHL and the NFL, may resume in the state -- without fans -- on Saturday, as long as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines are followed. Last month, Florida's DeSantis had deemed sports "essential services," allowing WWE and UFC events to take place in the state without fans. The Tiger Woods-Peyton Manning vs. Phil Mickelson-Tom Brady golf match will be in Hobe Sound on May 24, also without fans. DeSantis launched a phase 1 plan to reopen the state on Monday for all counties not including Miami-Dade and Broward. Those two counties will open this coming Monday. The Miami Heat reopened their facility Wednesday for players to undergo voluntary, individual workouts. No more than four players can participate at a time. DeSantis specifically mentioned baseball, soccer and basketball in his remarks Wednesday. "Our people are starved to have some of this back in our lives," he said. "I think we can certainly do it in a way that's safe."

Among the other vital points included in the proposal: An expansion of playoff teams from 10 to 14; An 82-game season; The use of home stadiums in areas that have local and state governmental approval; A so-called spring training 2.0 that begins in June with a season set for early July; A universal designated hitter; Geographical schedules, in which teams play only in-division opponents and interleague opponents in a similar area (i.e. American League Central teams play only AL Central and National League Central teams); A 30-man roster with a taxi squad that would have upward of 50 players available. The playoff expansion, which had been floated before the coronavirus pandemic hit, would increase revenue as it shrivels in other areas. Teams estimate that upward of 40% of revenue comes from ticket sales and other gate-related income. The season could start on Fourth of July weekend with games around the country in home stadiums. The intradivision-heavy schedule would be to limit travel -- with teams possibly traveling by bus to nearby cities. Spring training likely would not include any games, as teams could get ready for the season at their home stadiums. The 50 players available would be a mixture of major leaguers and top minor league players, with the minor league season in jeopardy.

Payrolls fell by 20.5 million last month, leaving 23 million unemployed, the Labor Department said Friday. Another 6.6 million Americans left the workforce altogether, meaning they were neither employed nor looking for work. The nation's unemployment rate more than tripled, soaring to 14.7% from 4.4% in March — the highest since the Great Depression.

Latest numbers for Oswego county..

We have live sports!!! Lol I think it's the Cornhole championships, no fans, all wearing mask..

Acid reflux cause"asthma" like symptoms as the acids back up into the esophagus, it can even cause inflammation of the lungs.. Shortness of breath, also called dyspnea, occurs with GERD because stomach acid that creeps into the esophagus can enter the lungs, particularly during sleep, and cause swelling of the airways. ... Such airway damage can affect breathing by causing coughing or wheezing. Abdominal bloating can affect the diaphragm, a muscular partition between the chest and abdomen. The diaphragm assists in breathing, which means bloating can lead to shortness of breath. This happens if the pressure in the abdomen is enough to restrict the movement of the diaphragm.

Acid reflux does cause shortness of breath, just Google it my friend.. Gastritis is even worse it inflames the lining of the stomach, feeling like"pressure" , it's because I don't have full use of the diaphragm Which is what's causing the issue..

Yeah it sucks bro.. I have gerd and about 3/4 of the food chain is off limits..My issue is smoking which really irritates it as well as caffeine, especially coffee ..I gave that up about a month ago.. Can't eat any spicy food, dairy, chocolate, sugars, fried foods, caffeine, tomato products, mint, etc lol I'm supposed to eat all bland foods like rice, oatmeal, yogurt etc lol I have seen many swear that milk Kefir cures IBS better than any drugs, some within a week!!! It's an extremely powerful probiotic , store bought has about 30-40 billion good bacteria in each cup, homemade could have trillions!!! Bad bacteria can not live in kerfi.. Usually has anywhere between 12-30 different strains..You should tell him to give it a try...

So I was forced to go to the hospital yesterday due to GI distress as well as shortness of breath..I new it wasn't covid but I still had to go through a special area..I was diagnosed with gastritis as my stomach lining is inflamed and almost feels swollen, this is causing me to be out of breath doing regular house hold chores as well as trouble taking full breaths...It could take up to 10 weeks to fully heal..I have Probably already lost a good 10 pounds as I have no appetite and been living off oatmeal and milk kefir lol Chamomile tea seems to be some good relief as well..It's nearly impossible for me to lay on my back as it is hard to breath.. Needless to say I need to stay away from coronavirus as long as I can..

Cuomo's have become the hottest thing since sliced bread lmao

Major League Baseball expects to offer a return-to-play proposal to the MLB Players Association within a week as teams have begun to encourage players to prepare for a "spring" training that could begin in mid-June and a season that would start in early July, sources familiar with the discussions told ESPN. While a significant number of hurdles remain and some industry leaders believe June and July return dates are optimistic, the approval of ownership on a plan and dialogue about specifics with the union would mark two vital steps in baseball's return from a season so far delayed six weeks by the coronavirus. General managers and managers from at least a dozen teams have reached out to players and suggested they ramp up baseball activities, executives, players and agents familiar with the conversations told ESPN. Some teams have suggested players prepare for a spring training that would begin as early as June 10 and a season that would begin July 1, dates first suggested publicly by former player Trevor Plouffe. Other teams, sources said, are being more general in their timetables, understanding the complications that hard dates can cause and wanting instead to nudge players toward being in game shape. Already dozens of players are working out at team facilities around the country, according to sources, and the possibility of holding a three- to four-week spring training at teams' home stadiums appeals to a number of stakeholders. After entertaining the ideas of quarantining all players in Arizona or using three- or five-city hubs to hold games, there is momentum toward the league trying to play games in home stadiums, sources said. The complications could be manifold, whether due to a coronavirus breakout in a city or the risk added by traveling, but the logistical concerns aren't nearly as acute as the building of hubs would be. Three player representatives, who have been sending updates to the union's rank-and-file, believe the union would be more receptive to such a plan because players could spend half their games at home and with families. This does not mean the league's proposal to the players' association will be met with open arms. Owners have pushed the league to ask players to take a pay cut from their salaries because of cratering revenues exacerbated by no fans being allowed in stadiums upon any return. In an agreement between the league and union, players agreed to be paid a prorated portion of their salaries based on games played, which the MLBPA argues covers any lessening of salary players should take. The potential snags go well beyond money. Returning to play in this environment poses a risk to players -- one they hope is allayed as much as possible in the league's proposal. Multiple players have reached out to the union asking what would happen if they opted not to play in 2020 out of fear for their health or a desire to remain with their families during the coronavirus pandemic, sources told ESPN. Further, a more direct question was asked by a player during a Zoom call with Cleveland Indians players that was first reported by The Athletic: What happens if we come back and a player tests positive? The league's answer to that question, and others, is eagerly anticipated by players whose sense of optimism has grown in the past week. At the same time, multiple officials and players have expressed reservation about negotiating an agreement as the country reopens, fearful that by the time the beginning of June rolls around, the climate for the game to return may not be as welcoming. The unknown, sources said, is part of the motivator to start the negotiation process within a week. Not only does MLB need approval from owners and players to start a season, officials from the White House and top health officials expect to be consulted and give the go-ahead, sources said. Already MLB has been in contact with federal and state officials seeking guidance as it maneuvers toward a new opening day. The look of the game and season will be determined in any agreement between the league and union. Multiple executives have suggested that as many as 50 players will be available for teams to use, and that they'll have active rosters of up to 30 players each game. The length of the season, should it start in July, could be between 80 and 100 games. Any agreement is likely to include contingency plans going forward, sources said. Some officials fear a so-called second wave of coronavirus cases that some health officials have forecast and believe that instead of planning to play into late November, with an expanded playoff system, MLB would be better suited playing a shorter season that gives the league a greater likelihood to avoid potential complications. The fallout from COVID-19 already has not just erased a large portion of the 2020 season, it has left front offices fearful of the immediate and long-term future. Scouting directors are waiting on the official word but told ESPN they expect the MLB draft in June to be five rounds instead of the standard 40. Further, while most teams have guaranteed employees pay through the end of May, the delay of baseball beyond July could precipitate a wave of furloughs and layoffs, according to sources.

Baseball is back, in Korea lol I guess it's something.

Walked outside earlier and seen an osprey dive bomb my pond It was a pretty cool site, fast and loud lol I wish I had the camera rolling..

10% is federal 2.5% State..

It's actually more"health sharing" then health insurance even though it does count as health insurance for tax purposes.. That's why it's cheaper with no deductable..

The government has helped me a lot during these trying times between the stimulus check and the extra$600 in unemployment plus 13 week extension..It's hard for me to expect much more, I even think that's over kill lol 1 more lump sum stimulus check wouldn't surprise me though.. I was able to find a decent quote for private health insurance, $232 a month . Free yearly wellness check $25 doctor visit $50 specialist $75 hospital 80% coverage on medication, generic or named brand.. Kicks in may 15, so that makes me feel a little better about things..lol

I thought this was an interesting article, especially considering I just started drinking kefir Milk which is amazing by the way..I have gerd and have been having dijestive issues for weeks due to my anxiety... No one knows exactly why some patients are affected more than others, but a new study from China (that has not yet been peer-reviewed) makes a provocative assertion: the health of the gut microbiome may predict the severity of the disease. The healthier the gut, the better the outcome. That may be something to cheer about, because you can improve your microbiome in a matter of days just by changing your diet. It could save your life. Scientists have started to realize that many of the chronic diseases of modern life are significantly associated with systemic inflammation and gut dysbiosis—a loose term that implies an unbalanced, unhealthy gut microbiome. Many of these inflammatory diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension, are also associated with COVID-19 complications. There is a psychological angle to this as well, due to the two-way nature of the gut-brain axis. The state of your microbiome can affect your disposition: the microbes that contribute to a good mood are called psychobiotics. But nature is nothing if not convoluted, and your mood can also affect your microbiome. The implication is that anxiety and depression may add to the complications of a COVID-19 infection

The sudden disappearance of sports will erase at least $12 billion in revenue and hundreds of thousands of jobs, an economic catastrophe that will more than double if the college football and NFL schedules are wiped out this fall by the coronavirus pandemic, an analysis conducted for ESPN shows. The meltdown is a fraction of the crisis spreading across the country, but it is nonetheless historic, touching every sector of the $100 billion United States sports industry. Continue reading

Just as I was getting ready to post a sports article lol MLB is discussing a potential plan to start the season in late June and allow teams to play at their home ballparks with realigned divisions, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale. The proposed plan involves realigning MLB into three divisions based on teams' locations rather than the National and American Leagues. The new divisions would help reduce travel, and teams would play with no fans in attendance. Nightengale reports the new plan is "pending approval of medical experts and providing that COVID-19 testing is available to the public." It would eliminate the need for players to be in isolation, although it remains unknown if teams would open the season in Arizona, Texas and Florida for a few weeks. MLB could potentially have a 100-game regular season before holding the playoffs with an expanded format. According to Nightengale, players are expected to have 18 to 21 days to train at teams' Arizona or Florida spring training sites before starting the season. Here's a look at the reported possible realigned divisions: EAST: Baltimore Orioles Boston Red Sox Miami Marlins New York Mets New York Yankees Philadelphia Phillies Pittsburgh Pirates Tampa Bay Rays Toronto Blue Jays Washington Nationals WEST: Arizona Diamondbacks Colorado Rockies Los Angeles Angels Los Angeles Dodgers Houston Astros Oakland Athletics San Diego Padres San Francisco Giants Seattle Mariners Texas Rangers CENTRAL: Atlanta Braves Chicago Cubs Chicago White Sox Cincinnati Reds Cleveland Indians Detroit Tigers Kansas City Royals St. Louis Cardinals Milwaukee Brewers Minnesota Twins There are more than one million confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States, with nearly 60,000 deaths. Worldwide, more than 215,000 people have died of the disease.
