    The #coronavirus mortality rate is ‘10 times’ that of the seasonal flu, said Anthony Fauci, director at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, during a congressional hearing
    This 1% will likely go down as the denominator right now is skewed towards people with symptoms. Likely but not certain that there are lots of infected people who are asymptomatic And will never get sick. I suspect (and hope) this group is under represented right now.

    If you are elderly and/or have compromising illnesses, you’re at higher risk. But that’s the same population that’s highest risk for flu complications as well.

    US strategy is to slow the spread so that hospitals can accommodate the sick, and for warmer weather to extinguish the virus. It should work.

    We could use a little global warming rn though.

    Someone brought it in but I don’t think they know Who it was yet.

    It ain't the apocalypse, but I have plenty of friends and family that are at high risk. I don't mind missing a few in person sporting events to slow this down and decrease their risks. That being said, not being able to attend a sporting events in person could be argued as being more important.

    In full disclosure, it's Friday night and I'm not entirt sober, so don't be too hard on me.

    They haven't cancelled the season. They've suspended it until further notice. An NBA player tested positive.

    NHL will have an announcement tomorrow.

    Not cancelling now is sort of a formality I've heard though. I honestly don't know. It seems crazy to skip the playoffs, etc.

    Lemme know when they start canceling NFL games. I favor a 20-games regular season schedule b/c watching my beloved Pack on any given Sunday is the only thing I look forward too. The rest of my life is just a tedious grind.

    As for the NBA and NHL, I ain’t give fucks. Only caucasoid supremacists dig the NHL, and I ain’t one in any shape, form or matter. The NBA, too many blacks.

    Problem the NBA ran into was that when Gobert got the Covid, he and his teammates had to be quaranteened for 14 days. How is the NBA going to deal with a team that can't play for 2 weeks? So they had to postpone all the games.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

    Right, but that is why travel restrictions only buy you time. The virus is here, and travel is no longer a good predictor. This response was also not comprehensive or up to date. While Italy and France were experiencing large outbreaks, customs was still asking only about travel from China.

    It would have helped to have testing squared away earlier because mitigation would be more effective if you knew about more of your cases to isolate.

    Rudy Gobert, and you won't believe what he did next.

    Next game he was out (another teammate as well) with an illness. Now he tested positive. Real Man of Genius.

    NBA is telling times to check on availability of arenas into August.

    I'm guessing NFL Draft will be a throwback. Guys making picks on the phone with no fans around. Free Agency is almost here though. Not sure how they'll handle player visits.

    Folks, I know some of you think this is not real, but you literally would have to be dumb as a box of rocks to think that way. Its not the flu, its not a bad cold, its a 'novel' virus, i.e. never seen before. And for some of you saying it is dumb to cancel events, I have seen graphs of daily infected of countries who are not locking down vs countries who are locking down, and its not even close. And be careful on mortality rates, I'm pretty sure the denominator is not those with symptoms, it is those who have been officially diagnosed. And in the good old USA, who does not have enough test kits yet, I am concerned we are WAY behind the curve. You can love or hate the current administration, but they also are way behind the curve, they should have been preparing when China first started having outbreaks.
