Day 26, and there's some want for life at the end of the tunnel...

• South Korea is beginning to play baseball...

South Korea has done as good a job as any country of containing coronavirus -- and now, baseball is being played there, with opening day slated for late April. At ESPN, a look inside how Korea is doing it, through the eyes of Americans playing ball there: https://t.co/Q8yeskkqmJ pic.twitter.com/QyGEs35vMg

Stuff to do:

• The European Speedrunners' Association is raising money to try to keep itself afloat with the increased costs of trying to put on events remotely for a week of speedruns from home:  ESA Together. 
• Down the road a bit:  Lady Gaga is putting together a television "at-home concert" event for April 18th -- it will air on all three original major networks and include stars like Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and many others.  (USA Today) 
• Baseball Digest has opened it's archives for free for the balance of the emergency. 
• Olbermann:

It’s tonight’s twitter #Thurbercast with “My 10 Rules For A Happy Marriage,” “I Believe,” and the fable “Two Dogs.”

And more evidence of intentional governmental malfeasance:

• Here's a sailor's reaction to the Secretary of the Navy firing Capt. Brett Crozier:

The Secretary of the Navy has just invited a mutiny aboard one of his ships.  And there's part of me hoping he gets it.

• He has since (probably fake) apologized.
