PPS never closes

Unless there's a flake of snow on the ground.

this is the real question.

 

[Chris Craig]

I can tell you that Parkrose has canceled all non-essential school-related activities, including student-teacher conferences, field trips, and performances. Wouldn't be surprised at all by school as a whole being closed by this weekend.

PPS has done that too. It's possible. This shit is getting crazy.

 

[Chris Craig]

Unless there's a flake of snow on the ground.

No. PPS is the last school district to close for inclement weather

So March Madness is done for?

If the players, coaches, refs, and staff are at risk from infection from each other... absolutely.

Here's the thing: EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY should be tested and the infected quarantined. NOW. Regardless of income, class, stature. We are all human beings and there's no regard for what you have in your wallet or bank account. This is a species wide threat. Money should not be an issue right now. I know that's naive and unrealistic, but if we are being blunt, that's what has to happen, or people that shouldn't die will.

Very understandable. Just wondering if it was official

The DPOY so good he shut down the entire NBA

They got test kits a week ago...

MLS season now being suspended till further notice and Nascar going to make an announcement soon as to how they will handle this, but it sounds like they will suspend the season as well. Colleges going to online classes only also.

saw this on the s2 twitter thing. Great response from Biggie.

the youngest person to die in Italy was 55 with chronic issues.

let’s not act like the mortality rate is the same across the board

odds are, for most people, it’s the flu.

I don't think you're correct in your numbers

but more than that...WTF??? Yeah, let's not worry about it because people over 55 are close to dead already...they don't matter

and I'm pretty sure you didn't mean it that way, but being over 55 myself I read that stuff about the 55 age and thought...wow

I might be wrong about this but the problem I see with that chart is one of testing rates. If Italy was testing at a rate of 15 times that of the US, that chart could be way off

I love this. Wish more players took this kind of initiative.

 

[wizenheimer]

the PAC-12 tournament was just cancelled

 

[chris_in_pdx]

March Madness will be next to fall. MLS called off the season until further notice. MLB is probably the next league to suspend. I'm wondering why the NHL hasn't announced anything yet.

Also being one of those over 55, I suspect this a Trump plan to make Social Security solvent again - by distributing a disease that makes everyone sick but mainly just kills the old folk. Of course, he planted the original outbreak in China so he has plausible deniability....

Nah, that's giving too much credit to the Imbecile-in-Chief.

All bullshit aside, I hope you have been able to avoid anyone with this, as it spreads through the NBA. I know money loss is a factor to you, but so should the health and welfare of you and your family. You, having the closest contact known of anyone in this forum, I hope you are well and avoid the virus. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

@SlyPokerDog you might need to qoute me on this and tag him in case he has me on ignore.

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

@THE HCP, @Orion Bailey has expressed some very kind sentiments about you and your family.

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

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!?
