Season Is Officially Done - Gobert Has COVID-19

[bubu dubu.]

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.

Well if its mostly just old people dying from it, I guess thats fine.

I think we should all recognize and appreciate the Timberwolves for really getting out in front of this and cancelling the season back in November.

[LordNu]

OMFG Season done? WTF

[bubu dubu.]

like an hour ago, the Pelicans and Kings game was still a go. now cancelled

We should all thank Rosas for putting us in a prime position. Only thing that would have made this better is if Brooklyn was 15 and not 16.

yeah I am making fun of all this, because its so fucking absurd. I can't actually fathom how this virus has fucked up so much.

In my opinion, some dark, gallows humor and the ability to whistle past the graveyard is a good thing. Carry on.

Well it's very Australian to do so. i just don't want to speak out of term because it could come back to bite everyone is the arse.

Season is not officially done, by the way.

[somuchyummy]

Kind of like it bit rudy in his french derierre.

From the blanket statements I have seen, I felt it was inferred the season was done, but they'll bring it back for playoffs? I don't know, just the one sentence sort of news catches on blogs.

[LordNu]

Reading further, seems the NBA is suspending season and going to assess what they do.

[bubu dubu.]

Fred Hoiberg taken to the hostpital during the Nebraska/Indiana game.

I'm guessing no Big Ten games to be played tomorrow.

I think it is. And that we are just seeing the start of the changes. Whats happened in the last rwo days? Coachella cancelled. SXSW cancelled. Neil young and kiss tours cancelled. U of M suspends classes. Euro flights cancelled. Tom Hanks announces he and his wife have it. Rudy Gobert tests positive. NCAA says March Madness will be played in empty arenas. NBA suspends the season. Stock market takes massive dive into a bear market. Biden and Sanders both announce cancellations of campaign rallies. President Trump shits himself.

Expect plenty more disruptions. Business as usual will not be business as usual. This thing is just getting started.

I'm expecting NCAA to cancel everything after hearing the Hoiberg news (not confirmed coronavirus yet though)...but when would it be too late for the NBA to do a quick playoffs? The championship series is played in June, thats three months away yet.

[j2j]

NBA might use this to test pushing the season back to avoid football. Will fans watch basketball in the summer?

I was on a response team for one of my jobs, where they had effectively a bunker we would report to, but I don't think this is serious, where businesses will impose such measures.Your mail will keep coming!...one of the first things the government would shut down. Like I said the mortality rate is 3.4%, which will drop, big deal. And it is only that high because of old people who have other problems and are more impacted. In the US we are one of the youngest countries, with an average age of 38 or so. This is far from the end of the world. This is just a "bad flu", but nothing like the Spanish Flu that had a mortality rate of 10-20%, that is something to worry about.

Now we know the *real* reason Karl's been on the shelf. Rosas *knew* this was coming and exacerbated the tanking early in order to position ourselves better for the lotto before everyone else caught wind.

Exec of the year, right here. No doubt.

No doubt in my mind.

He also snuck us into 3rd where we got the same percentage, but none of the wooden spoon/tank vibe.

Give that man a cookie.

If you ever do get through medical school, could you please post a little symbol in your office so if us froobs every happen to stumble into your office with a major injury, we can be informed and run the fuck out of there. A Wiggins poster should suffice.

We all thank you in advance.

I don't think the issue has ever been the virus itself, although obviously it's deadly to the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions, but more the impact it will have on society.

Like, people will get quarantined and the vast majority will end up back at work after 2 weeks or so as they find they either don't have the virus or can overcome it. But what happens in that 2 weeks? If your local grocery store has an outbreak and is shut down for quarantine, where do you get food? And if you find another place, say the next town over, can they cope with the additional burden? What happens if there's then an outbreak there? And so on.

What about when all our ICU beds are full and our ERs are overflowing and then you get in a car accident or have a heart attack? What happens when doctors and nurses get sick or exhaust themselves working double shifts dealing with this?

What about when they close schools and parents have to stay home to watch their kids. What happens to the supply of the good and services those parents provided?

It’s a lot more than just the disease. You’re absolutely right. But just the disease is expected to infect between 70-150 million Americans. If the 3.4% mortality rate holds, that’s 2,380,000 to 5,100,000 deaths. If you cut the rate in half, it’s still 1,190,000 to 2,550,000 deaths. That’s something nobody has seen in this country since... polio?

I work for microsoft and all 110k employees were told to work from home. Cant fly anywhere for on sites either. Companies are scrambling to get cloud based for collaboration purposes. Good news is that i wont have to use my sick time when schools get canceled or if i get sick.

I rather be prepared than not.

If nothing happens, it still will be used.

What’s bad about groceries? If shit goes bad like China, Italy, or Korea, don’t want to have to go wait in line for groceries.

What’s bad about extra ammo? Can always use it for future range use or keep it for the future.
