1. I-I'm n-not M-M-Missing S-Sports at ALL!!!!!

2. The lack of sports does leave a big hole in our society

One more thing that we took for granted that's suddenly not there and the lack does have ripple effects as JO pointed out, economically on so many levels and affects so many segments of our society - including television and all ages of students. But then so does kids not even being able to attend classes which is sure to affect all ages for years to come. If I let myself think about it, I'm shocked all over again on what we are facing now- literally overnight.

3. There's a silver lining at the 18:00 mark

4. During these uncertain times, John Oliver not only comes through for us

But always in a clever and unexpected way. I'm bummed out that he won't be on next week, these days his reassurance and humor is exactly what we need.
