I came here thinking you all are discussing cricket or may be hope of some cricket matches starting soon but the discussion is something else lol
Checked Espn and they are showing results of old matches between Ind and NZ and now just articles about COVID 19 :(Guess all matches postponed till May now.
I'm currently watching Contagion, The Great Plague and Spanish-flu documentaries and realizing those days were miserable with people believing in superstitions and mass burials.

But check "Death of a Gentleman" too. its about Future of Test cricket and all wrongdoing/mis-management of ICC + BIG 3 (Ind+Aus+Eng) or as some call it PIG 3 
. Will check it out MI, currently Watching "Roar of the Lion -CSK"
. Will check it out MI, currently Watching "Roar of the Lion -CSK" You nailed it. I regard Death of a Gentleman as the best documentary I ever watched (I think I saw it sometime in 2017). It's a must watch, if you are a die-hard cricket fan like me. The only negative it that it is a bit long (100 minutes, while I would have preferred a 60 minute version), and therefore there may be some lag. But still, I would rate it 9 out of 10 and give 10/10 stars for Jarrod Kimber and Jon Hotten.
Life lesson to take from Little Master about Test Cricket and Covid-19, its one reason i am freaking crazy or some call it "fanatic" about Test format. And yeah if we can act together as team then we can beat it.

I ask because Netflix and Prime are available in almost every country these days. If you don't feel like subscribing, you can always ask your friends to share their subscriptions with you.
You cannot watch Netflix from two devices simultaneously but with prime and hotstar you can share the subscriptions and now a days these are the best option to spend time to watch all the series and without any events in the horizon for the next few months this is how majority will be spending the time and from the mentioned series i only watched Fire in Babylon till now and thanks JSRAW for suggesting Death of a Gentleman, will watch tonight. 
Both are good.. but "Fire in Babylon" is best.

Will check them out. Also, Roar of the Lion is epic especially for CSK fans. It focuses on the rise of CSK after they were screwed due to the ban and actually returned to win IPL once again and almost won another title in the next edition(Recent one against MI).But check "Death of a Gentleman" too. its about Future of Test cricket and all wrongdoing/mis-management of ICC + BIG 3 (Ind+Aus+Eng) or as some call it PIG 3

Few suggestions from my side, related to Test Cricket ofcourse....
-Fire in Babylon ( Windies Cricket 1970s) Amazon Prime / Netflix
-The Test: A New Era For Australia's Team - Prime
-The Edge (England Team 2009-2013) - Prime
-Death of a Gentleman - Prime
Interesting list. I am especially interested in "The Edge" and "The Test". Might check them out soon. Also, there is a TV show dedicated to the Mumbai Indians on Netflix and it discusses their day to day stuff in detail. I recommend it.-Fire in Babylon ( Windies Cricket 1970s) Amazon Prime / Netflix
-The Test: A New Era For Australia's Team - Prime
-The Edge (England Team 2009-2013) - Prime
-Death of a Gentleman - Prime

You have many choices sadly I have to concentrate on very few things for time pass as these are not available here 
Which country are you from? I ask because Netflix and Prime are available in almost every country these days. If you don't feel like subscribing, you can always ask your friends to share their subscriptions with you. To me it seems a very easy record to break. Once I slept over 80 hours with some little break for eating and going to toilet LOL
Even i am spending my time watching movies and series as i am afraid to go out because the situation is alarming and sitting at home is the only solution during this phase but to watch movies continuously like this will have a toll on the body.Hope everyone here is safe and doing well.
I agree with whatever he said. I am feeling a bit hollow for the past many days, since there is no live cricket going on in the TV. The PSL got postponed, after one of the players showed COVID symptoms and even the Over-50 world cup was called off. It is really difficult to keep entertained now.
The fact is it is really weird as there is no sporting events, now we have all the time in the world and sit idle and watch movies and no sporting events which is depressing. No idea how these will proceed.
Today there was a statement from Dale Steyn regarding the prevailing situation caused as a result of the COVID 19 epidemic.

I think I need to start downloading all the movies those I were planning to watch from long time and fill up few terabytes of external hard drives with the downloaded movies.
I suggest binge watching TV shows on Netflix and Prime instead like me in recent times. These are the shows that I have binged recently:- The Witcher TV show
- Elite
- Sex Education(Twice)
- You
- Umbrella Academy(Currently watching it) etc
Netflix and Prime are enough even during an apocalypse in my opinion.
People will find it difficult in this phase as many things are shut and all gaming events are being cancelled or moved for a later date. Also many are lock down so finally everything needs to be done at home. This is a good time where one can introspect and spend time on them self to see what they want to do ahead and spend some quality time with family members and children. Can speak to all the friends and family members from whom you may not be in touch on regular basis. Learn some cooking or so if one does not know.

Generally, you'll have to inform them that you are planning for a record. Once they approve your application, you can carry on with your plan. I think you'll have to inform the media for recording your attempt. Not sure though. Btw, you really serious about this 😅

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I just hope that the situation would improve.
BTW, this epidemic could not have come at a worse time. March-May is the cricketing season in South Asia (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan.etc), and since the monsoon is about to start in two months from now, the tournaments that get cancelled now may never get played. If the IPL is called off, then it can cause huge loss to the BCCI. Even the players are likely to lose large amounts (I am not sure how much the insurance companies are going to pay).

I am afraid about my job as well. The markets are collapsing and many of the companies are a few weeks away from bankruptcy.
This is very worrying. Economy almost in every country is affected by this virus spreading and it does not seem that we will recover this situation very soon. This virus is taking over the world like a big storm I guess. Good thing is that it spreads from person to person in close proximity. So as long as you are extra careful you are safe.Quote
The coronavirus - known as COVID-19 - spreads from person to person in close proximity, similar to other respiratory illnesses, such as the flu.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/01/coronavirus-spread-protect-200130115539072.htmlWe need more people to be aware of the situation and protect themselves.
Go to espncricinfo.com and you will feel that you are in a ghost town LOL. Everywhere it's corona, rescheduled and postponed :-D
@vishnu.reang don’t worry you won’t loose your job, even though the global economy has taken a beating but I’m pretty sure that it’ll improve in the long turn, and till then avoid unnecessary expenses and save money wherever you can. @Royse777 it’s just not espn all the sportsbook sites are blank because all the events are cancelled, and I also feel that the ICC test championship will also have to be canceled because ICC won’t be able to schedule any Test matches for quiet a while now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019–21_ICC_World_Test_Championship#2020
This is just a temporary phase and the situation will get in control within due time. I heard that Israeli scientists have claimed to find a cure. Within couple of months, things will get to normal. @vishnu.reang do not worry you will not lose your job.
Yes now These matches postponed and we have very bore life mean no cricket no enjoyment most of peoples upset with IPL delayed because this was really fun to watch but this corona 
This is the reaction from the Indian government:
Quote
All existing visas, except diplomatic, official, UN/International Organizations, employment, project visas stand suspended till April 15, 2020
The United States has declared a national emergency and some of the Indian states are also thinking about the same. Forget about the sports events, you may not be even able to go to shopping malls and movie theaters. I am afraid about my job as well. The markets are collapsing and many of the companies are a few weeks away from bankruptcy.
