The first thing we need to do is accept how potentially serious all of this is.
I think that for the most part, we have. There are sobering reminders constantly. Reports that deaths from the COVID-19 virus could reach well into six figures just in the United States alone remind us that not only is this national crisis far bigger than sports, it’s far bigger than anything else we’ve ever come to know about day-to-day life. The world as we know it has changed, and the impact will be something we won’t fully be able to grasp for some time.
But other than that it’s a cheery time, huh?
I’m going to attempt to continue to be light and pleasant both in columns and during the course of Glenn Clark Radio while still recognizing the overwhelming toll this outbreak has already taken. We have already experienced hurt and loss, and we’re terrified because sadly we know much more is coming.
