I can't remember a time in my life when there were no sports. Sure, there's been lockouts before and there's been times where we've been without the New York Islanders for an extended period of time, but not like this.
The best comparison for the world stopping that I can think of is after 9-11. While clearly a terrorist attack is very different from a virus, the world coming to a halt is where the comparison is drawn.
So, while the NHL and sports leagues around the country are stopped what are we supposed to do?
