i read the story and why would they cancel the game if two players just had the flu? that promotes a panic if that's all it is.


The Jazz announced Wednesday that center Rudy Gobert was questionable for the matchup due to “illness,” which came just days after he touched every media member’s microphone and recorder to make a point about the coronavirus. There is no reason to believe, however, that he has COVID-19. Emmanuel Mudiay was also listed as questionable with an illness.

One of the reporters mentioned that they cancelled it after one of the head medical staff “sprinted” to the court to have a discussion with the officials and that both Gobert and Mudiay are being transported for testing.

I’m sorry. I don’t mean to make light of anything, but that just makes me laugh.

They were saying earlier today they may suspend and try to do shortened playoffs in the summer. Gonna have a big effect on the salary cap next year.

QQ. If you knew the the world would eventually come to a end, would you want that to happen during your lifetime? This may deserve its own thread.

Wow. Insane.

Anybody see the TV series from Stephen King called The Stand? The opening is emblazed into my head where "Don't fear the reaper" is playing and they are panning all over the bodies.

It has a 3.4% mortality rate (mostly the old), that is going to go down over time as medical professionals adapt. Not to mention, Summer is coming and the virus doesn't do well with sunlight, heat or humidity. This is overblown, but I would rather this be used as a test case for when a REAL problem exists.

They should just ban it for a month and force everyone to stay isolated for a least 2.5 weeks. Then host a mini playoff and finals.

It's pretty crazy though because people will be losing a lot of money.
