That last sentence is quite troubling.

Yea, reads like Jussie Smollett wrote it.

Way to own the libs Donny!

You're bringing a bunch of political opinions and lies to this thread. Congrats.

I have undergraduate degrees in Computer Information Systems and Management.
I hold Master’s degrees in Finance and Supply Chain.
I would be considered an expert in the fields of Reverse Logistics and Data Modeling.

But what really comes in handy here is Common Sense. Common sense to take the Global Experts in Epidemiology at their word.

The common sense to know that MLB, NBA, NHL, & NCAA wouldn’t be throwing away $B’s unless they felt they absolutely had no other choice.

I stayed at a holiday inn express last night

Globalization took place way before Trump. Trump was the guy with the tariffs that threatened globalization and your cheap goods. Remember?

Globalization? Not by a long shot. It was Nationalism. We had to do it ourselves and slapped the hand of the pioneering countries that sequenced the genome and developed the testing method .

Oh, like the flu. Name one year where they cancelled due to the flu. Or we've controlled the spread of the flu in years past?

You can play without the public attending.

Yes, we have the flu. The healthcare system is used to dealing with the flu, though even there it becomes stressed with a bad outbreak.

The system doesn't have experience with this. The danger is that with a rapid outbreak, the system would be overwhelmed.

It may not happen, but people are erring on the side of caution.

They have choices. Show me where 30 year old people in top shelf shape are dropping from this.

They arent.

Smdh...

Of course they aren’t. Healthy 30 yr olds DYING from coronavirus is not the problem. Healthy 30 yr olds SPREADING the virus is the problem.

Eventually an at risk individual ends up infected by those healthy 21 yr olds that contracted coronavirus at their Sweet Sixteen site and didn’t even know it.

So playing NBA games with no fans creates the possibility of overwhelming the system?

Who are they spreading to playing in empty arenas?

But yes, I bet now they are holed up in their houses. Sure.

Just curious, has China announced any plans to ban the sale of bush meat?

The only argument I have with that is we now have players that have tested positive for it.

So if they play zero games players wont be infected?

Just one player on the court could spread it to all the other players. Unknowingly.

All those players then return to their respective cities. And go about their lives. Unknowingly.

You really don’t see the problem do you.

Big win for EA Sports. It's in the game!

Still hundreds if not thousands of people involved in the logistics.

I can't speak to that, just offering the justification for suspending large public gatherings until the risks are more known.

 

[happy-go_vol]

The impression I got from these articles is that the CDC has given itself a monopoly on test development and manufacturing, while South Korea is led by the private sector. Might be a lesson there.

It all comes back to fed regulation. That seems to screw us constantly

You really don’t see the problem do you.

So they encounter less people while not playing basketball. Ah no.

First female I have heard with KS. She holds the key to the proverbial male/female argument for the most painful experience, KS or childbirth.

My wife passed one a couple years ago and we have 3 children. She said given the lack of an epidural the kidney stone is worse. Percocet and morphine did nothing for her.

Twitter should have an answer for you shortly!

I offered games without attendance. That is not large public gatherings.

 

[C-south]

Of course they COULD be. However, the infected players have came in contact with other players over the past few weeks and with no exact timeline of their contraction it’s unknown if they may have infected those players. I can understand them taking a pause and at least evaluating the situation.

If you are under 70 and healthy, live your life as normal. Go to work, go shopping, go out to eat if you want. I would also add if you have the means to do so make sure you go out as much as possible and support your local businesses, some of these people especially small business employees could be hurting over this.

And if you do, stay away from people at risk such as your mom, dad, aunts and uncles.

. If you are at risk..... quarantine yourself.... you can easily live life with minimal contact..... don’t stop everyone else from living.

 

[RockyTop85]

Not the issue. The issue is uncontrolled, rapid spread of the virus in the public.

And the depletion of apparently scarce treatment resources leading to worse outcomes if everybody gets it over the course of a month rather than 4 months.

 

[lawgator1]

How f'ing irresponsible is that !?!?

You get a message that you have tested positive for the virus BEFORE you get on a plane, and you still go?

Guy should be jailed as soon as he recovers.

By the way, there are reports the guy got the result while in flight. So a little less terrible.
