OT NBA season suspended & NCAA cancelling all sports for coronavirus

[PDXFonz]

I think like 99% of us realize that all forum shenanigans and disagreements aside we all respect each other as humans despite whether or not we agree on certain takes. That’s why I love this place so much. Respect to OB for his kind sentiments. You’re a good man my dude, thank you again for everything you’ve done to help forum members out and keep us together.

With all the NBA games on TNT canceled, I have a solution: Show more episodes of "Bones"!!!

@Chris Craig congrats on getting and extra week of spring break!

You know sonething I don't? Not yet

He would know what to do

My step daughter is a PPS teacher, that's what the union is telling the district.

 

[tlongII]

Why?

Because he infected Mitchell.

Can't trust Gormogon's apprentice.

 

[tlongII]

Please don't cancel March Madness! I don't like Duke or Kansas anyway.

Scapegoating Gobert is kinda stupid. He's an idiot for mocking this and deliberately touching shit, but there is no way to tell that Donovan got it directly from Rudy. 57 of the 58 people associated with the Jazz tested negative yesterday.

Whiteside would never

Someone mentioned about the youngest person in Italy to pass away was 55....but with a chronic condition already. Again, this is not to make light of any death, but so far the vast majority have been people much older and many of those with some type of respiratory issue already. Unlike the flu, as of last update, there is yet to be a baby/child to die from this. The flu tends to affect the young and old....C-19 tends to be the much older and again, with some chronic condition. For those who smoke.....stop!

ugh, that guy who posted that 55 thing was wrong. There have been plenty of deaths of people in their 40s in Italy, without some of the risk factors or pre-existing conditions.

I didn’t know Gobert was making light of the virus issue mocking it in interviews a few days ago. How’s that for a reality check!?

This is how Gobert will be remembered.

By the way, strangest NBA season ever. China; Stern & Kobe die; new All Star rules, 30 day minimum ban.

 

[wizenheimer]

have a hard time seeing how the League office could set any timetable, other than "we'll look at things in a month"

a month from now the infections could number in the millions

It was only a matter of time after Duke and Kansas pulled out, but it is now official--no NCAA Tournament this year.

Nurk basically tells us all to just deal with it.

Ok. We got word all special programs staff are already being sent home indefinitely, so it doesn't surprise me.

 

[wizenheimer]

talk about a cascade event. It was less than 24 hours ago when the NBA postponed a game. Since then, just about everything has been cancelled, postponed, or suspended

 

[tlongII]

Fuck!

 

[MARIS61]

Stop sweating the small stuff.

What I want to know is what happens to my season-long dominance of our Yahoo Fantasy Basketball League?

Once the NBA goes, it all goes. Plus Tom Hanks got it...

Much like before, nobody will care.

I care... I really suck at fantasy sports.

He may have been wrong. But the vast majority are still the elderly and/or people with compromised respiratory conditions. These figures are being updated all the time, but the WHO as of a week ago had these figures:

"Overall, China CDC found, 2.3% of confirmed cases died. But the fatality rate was 14.8% in people 80 or older, likely reflecting the presence of other diseases, a weaker immune system, or simply worse overall health. By contrast, the fatality rate was 1.3% in 50-somethings, 0.4% in 40-somethings, and 0.2% in people 10 to 39."

The gym I go to there is always someone hacking away and blowing their nose, sweating like crazy.
No mask though, if I saw someone with a mask on I'd probably ask them if they are sick?
Everyone is good about wiping down the equipment.
They were lined up today outside of costco way before opening.

 

[Chris Craig]

Just found out I get paid if schools close. Whew! A relief.

@THE HCP I really hope Jody, like Mark Cuban looks into making sure you guys are taken care of.

Everyone stay safe. Oh, and wash those fucking hands. What? You washed them? Wash them again.
