DAVID-19

DAVID-19, aka the davidvirus, is a contagious disease caused by severe acute gif use that is fucking terrible (SAGU-TiFT), originating with dp4m. The first known case was identified on a trip from Phoenix to New York City on Aproids 18th, 2020 during the Third Baseball Draft. The disease then spread board-wide, leading to a pandemic requiring a quarantine of the entire Baseball Draft League until Maeby 28th.

Symptoms of DAVID-19 vary, but often include terrible gif-posting, questionable "jokes," thinking Shane Spencer is leading the league in homers/basically not trash, and loss of taste (in good things, like Bernie).

Discovery
During their travel day from Phoenix in a series against the Sudden Valley Cornballers, Lin-Manuel Miranda-- the manager for the USA Network All-Stars (aka ASSES)-- announced he had been exposed to DAVID-19 and was undergoing a self-quarantine for 14 days. During this quarantine, ASSES superfan Idina Menzel (specifically while playing Maureen from Rent) took over managerial duties.

Spread
Unfortunately the disease quickly spread across the league, requiring every team to quarantine before their next series of games in Miami, FL at Marlins Park-- ironically the home of the Every City Bandwagoners, arch-rival of the ASSES.

Containment
By Maeby 4th, successful partial containment of the disease meant the league was no longer under a full restriction to play all games at Marlins Park. However, to minimize travel, all teams were still required to quarantine within the state of Florida. Thus, in addition to Marlins Park, teams could choose to play their home games at Land Shark Stadium (also in Miami), or Tropicana Field (in Tampa).

By Maeby 28th, quarantine measures had mitigated risk of the disease to the point that all restrictions were lifted. Teams could choose to return to their original home stadiums if they felt comfortable enough, and the rest of the season played out normally.

Scientists do not expect the disease to affect the Fourth Draft, though there remains no vaccine for DAVID-19 outside of just logging off.
