COVID-19 effect on the EHE

Post by Kevin » Tue. Mar. 10, 2020 12:23 am

It's official that cities have begun putting a blockade on attending sporting events. The remaining Sharks and Barracuda home games for March have been canceled and it seems that more teams have it on their radar. Now normally, we try to implement real life events into the league. Eric had actually suggested postponing his game last Tuesday against PIT because of the tornado and if I'd had more time to process, I would have granted that. However, I feel that the COVID-19 outbreak would be overkill. Our season doesn't need to be prolonged any further than it already has and everyone deserves their time away from the league during the summer. Unless the unlikely event that one of us passes away, there will be no schedule adjustments based on COVID-19.

If anything, this might actually help me out with the league. A lot of Bay Area companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, HP, and LinkedIn have made many (some, all) of their employees stay home in fear of further spreading. At my job, we've been making preparations for our employees to work from home as well. The big boss keeps talking about "when," not "if." I know I'd welcome the extra time at home to recharge and also to spend more time working on the long list of "league things" I'd like to accomplish.

Anyway, be well, be safe, and wash your damn hands. :)

uh, if the NHL suspends the rest of the season (in my very unprofessional opinion as a health care profession, it fucking should right now), what would happen here?

Great opportunity for us to catch up to the schedule I suppose!

What I was implying is that it won't affect our league unless someone passes away or both Eric and I become incapacitated that we can't sim. Our games will play on as they would and fan attendance will not be affected.

That was my thought too! It's the only good thing that comes out of this!


Now I say that it won't have an effect on the league but it indirectly did tonight. I worked from home on Wednesday because I needed to be available late to provide support for the people testing our systems in the event that we become the next company on the list to send all of its employees home to work. I was caught off guard just how many people would be calling for help right at the time I'd planned to sim! That's why it was two hours late. I'll be working from home again on Thursday doing the same thing so I hope to have the sim done on time but there's a chance it'll be late if there's a similar influx of calls.
