I can't decide if this is the best or worst time for league operations, so I wanted to get some feedback to see if there is a strong consensus.

I imagine some people have a lot more free time at home and starting up league activity may be a welcome diversion with perhaps more online than usual.

I also imagine some people are focused on other things or maybe dealing with situations (whether health, helping others or family care) that are so much more priority than an online game.

Let me know what you think.

Since the NFL draft seems to still be on schedule for April 23rd (although different), I had thought that might be a good time for us to get started ourselves with the high profile draft reminding people to come back. If I got on league finance transition to the new league year, it's possible we could start sooner if most wanted.

I'm in the minority apparently but I really would prefer to start later. My wife and I are both working full time from home right now with two kids under 3 that can't go to day care. If we start this up in the near future it's highly likely I won't be able to put in the effort needed to be competitive.

I have the opposite read from Ben, which is fine. There are multiple reasonable viewpoints and I like that you're taking the league's temperature rather than assuming and just charging ahead. I haven't had a day off since this started, and that's a big part of why I'd really appreciate having some league activity.

Different strokes for different folks, but I miss sports - and this might be the closest we have for a while.

I'm eager to open things up simply to have a nice distraction and it is going to take a while for everyone to check in, replace gm's and set tags anyway. That being said, if things open up sooner than later, we don't need to rush into FA and the draft but getting a picture of the landscape for the coming season would be nice.

This makes a lot of sense.

I'm an electrician, so I'm home all the time, except for an emergency situation. I could use the distraction, and I'm hoping this league, and my baseball league will serve that purpose a little bit.

I too have no work at the moment. Remember Mental Health is just as important as Physical Health. I think getting the league going will help people keep some type of normalcy in their life!

I'm working from home in the middle of my living room with two kiddos and three pets running around. I'm also pretty sure I have Corona, though I didn't qualify to be tested (I tested negative for flu). I'm doing okay for the most part but believe me, I could use all the distractions I can get. Bring it on.

Oh no! Hope you feel better and recover quickly.

I honestly believe I had it in early February. Tested negative for the flu... difficulty breathing, dry cough, slight temp, entire body hurt. Doctor told me I had a cold and pneumonia. If it was a cold... it was a cold much worse than any I had ever had. Lasted 2 weeks... and was 4 weeks before I felt anywhere close to normal.
