Status of Season: Coronavirus disease (Update: NBA SEASON SUSPENDED!)

[baseline bum]

So far the flu is much more devastating in death then the Chinese Virus is a little different then the flu in that it seems to not target children and women for some reason as much as men. Also it is slightly more dangerous for older family members almost all deaths have been over 80 years old and compromised immune system. If your in good health I would not worry but I would only travel we’re I could good healthcare. I have heard from a few dr friends that it should slow down as the high temperatures of summer hit. A Dr. friend of mine in Panama said they are one of a few countries with no virus outbreaks.

I was really hoping that would be the case but an infectious disease expert who Joe Rogan was interviewing threw cold water all over that idea by saying it's unlikely since high temperatures didn't really seem to slow down other coronaviruses like SARS and MERS. It really sounds like it's just going to run through the population until it infects enough people to not be very successful replicating and transmitting. Hence the projections of 40% to 70% of the world getting it.

people are morons

where i am as in Western Australia , one person got it Iran, she flew back suspecting she may have it , got tested then went to a concert while waiting for her results. which got confirmed a day later.

Sadly you cant stop the stupid or the selfish. She may have been talking to someone like Oldrun and thought what the hell does it matter.

just like the dmb ass they released in sa who still was infected....gee i might be carrying a potential deadly virus and was just released, i know what ill do! Go shopping :wtf

[DPG21920]

Yeah, obviously he shouldn't have been there.

His son apparently said on Snapchat that he was released from the hospital. So hopefully he doesn't have it.

Really hoping (for obvious reasons) he doesn’t either. That’s what’s scary - I don’t know what it would take for me to think “damn I may have this”.

Maybe. But I can see a lot of people, not in an area with many known cases, getting sick and not thinking it’s any difference from any other cold/flu they’ve gotten.

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

Putting this out there without an caveat, is criminally irresponsible.

If you smoke, if you vape, if you wake and BAKE and are young you're going to have a lower favorable outcome from an infection than if you don't smoke, vape, and wake and bake even if you are young.I smoke cigs smoke weed and haven't had the flew or a cold in 30 years.

[toki9]

Italy has gone from 2 cases on January 30 to 12,462 as of March 12--so 6 weeks. The real fear is the infected patients overloading the healthcare system (as is happening in Italy now). The observed infection is doubling every 5-7 days--it only takes 10 iterations (50 to 70 days) to get to ~1,000x; in reality, it takes less than 10 iterations for the total to get to 1,000x since you're adding previous iterations. I believe there are only about million hospital beds in the US, of which about 2/3rds are typically occupied. That leaves about 300,000 beds. Once all these beds are taken, the health system will have difficulty responding to any other medical needs--and it won't take long to get to that saturation point if the infection is not curbed ASAP. FYI, in NY, 1 guy has ended up infecting ~70-80 people--so it's highly infectious.

Another way of looking at the severity of this: Once China decided to implement its quarantine, their economic output declined by about 40%. China voluntarily took 40% hit on its economy to curb this outbreak. And Italy is shutting down the entire country for minimum of 2 weeks to curb this outbreak.

[Rocalcio]

If any of those reporters test positive he's gonna get sued and possibly face jail time.

There is no proof he had it at that time. There is probably no link between him touching those mics and him being sick. He is the just the first player DECLARED positive, that doesn’t mean he is the first player to have it, he might have got it from another player or staff member.

[BillMc]

Only one outbreak here in Ukraine so far (and that was a person who'd just traveled from Italy) but even so most public events and schools are being shut down. Ukraine would do very poorly (despite good medical knowledge) if it really started raging here.

The season's over. Sadly he might keep his option since you gotta think revenues are going to tank with the season and playoffs called off, and hence the cap being lowered for next season. I can't imagine ABC + TNT don't have some kind of clause in their TV contracts calling for them to not pay when games aren't played.

[tbdog]

Players will pick up their player options now.

Oh the players are happy they just got out of school early only the true playoff contender teams are probably upset rightly so never know when you can get to the big dance.

I really don't think it's an unlikely event. I think it's almost assured we have watched our last NBA games this season. There is no hiding from this virus, it transmits way too effectively. Two weeks from now when the Gobert quarantine is up it's pretty likely there will be a significant proportion of the league's players positive for the SARSCov2 virus. I'd be very surprised if there aren't travel bans in a month. Models suggest 40% to 70% of the population needs to be infected before this virus will stop. We're only seeing the tip of the iceberg right now. This is likely to be a long ride over the next few months.

[TDomination]

yeah but its not as long though, just 5 years. ours is 22. thats a pretty big difference.

Spurs last time not in playoffs - 1997
Warriors Last time not in Finals - 2014

Its definitely more unusually not seeing us in the playoffs vs not seeing them in the finals.

[Budkin]

1238118755777105921

That doesn't mean much though, it can take 4-6 days for the virus to show. They will all need to be tested again.

[SayTown]

Everyone in the league should just get infected and then get over it and then play the remaining games in empty stadiums.

I just flew in from Denver Tuesday night and it's crazy how many people are washing their hands now. Sad it took this outbreak to cause people to start being clean instead of some dirty people. However, when I was in Colorado I saw a few walk out the restroom without washing their hands. Crazy.

[spurs50_]

So do we have the 11th pick?

[exstatic]

Even if the season is over, there's still the lottery to set the exact order. Three teams jumped in from outside the top 4 last year.

[Thomas82]

So exactly how long is the season suspended? In one article I read it said 2 weeks minimum, and another one said 30 days.

It's over. They haven't said it yet, but the shit hasn't even really gotten bad yet. In a very few weeks, like Italy, you'll have hospitals inundated with sick and dying people. Unless strict protocols are enacted, like China, this thing will linger through the summer and maybe into the fall.

[Dex]

Sports Illustrated is saying at least 30 days but, as exstatic said, this is all subject to change and is likely to get worse before it gets better.

America isn’t a third world country. We’ll be fine.

[exstatic]

Italy's not a 3rd world country, either. They've stopped accepting trauma cases. Really think about that statement.

It's the large case volume in a short time that causes the health care system to wobble. As each larger level of the virus pyramid grows, a shit ton of people are all going to get really acutely sick at exactly the same time, like millions. baseline posted that there are approximately 1M hospital beds in this country. Seems like we'll come up quite a bit short.

italy has around 5.000 intensive care beds and 15.000 covid patients... it's a problem

[BacktoBasics]

As soon as they actually start freely testing people it’s going to look like a massive surge. My hope is that the worst of it already happened and the spike actually took place a month ago. So it’ll look like it’s on the rise but it’ll settle pretty quickly. These people who constantly point to such a small number of confirmed cases are crazy oblivious. I’d put my money on a good 50k infected with most of those having already been sick and recovered.

[gambit1990]

It will hit everyone soon. Too many people flying around. And people still have to work in order to pay bills and live. Hard to contain it. Just need more test kits and eventually an unofficial vaccine that they can use until they have enough data to say it’s official. Will eventually just be added to your annual flu shot.

Test kits so you know when you have it and can self quarantine. But if it’s inevitable that it’ll move around eventually I guess it doesn’t matter.

It's over. 100% done. There is no hiding from this virus. 40% to 70% of the nation is going to get it most likely. There will likely be NBA players who die from this when conservative projections are 450,000 dead in the US once it has worked its way through the population.

[ChumpDumper]

The number I saw earlier today was 17,000 per dayIt might ramp up to that eventually.


An examination of state and federal records by Yahoo News finds that American states are, on average, testing fewer than 100 people per day — while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had tested fewer than 100 people total in the first two days of this week.

https://news.yahoo.com/cdc-tested-only-77-people-this-week-coronavirus-testing-slow-around-the-nation-153646616.html

Of course a lot of agencies probably aren't reporting for whatever reason.

As soon as those quarantines are lifted in China it'll likely go back to exponential growth there again too. I don't think there is much reason to expect this virus to stop until it has worked it's way through our population. I just hope China makes wet markets and wildlife farming illegal permanently so we don't get a third SARS from them.

Based on what? Testing is almost non existent. China didn’t blow up. It was already blowing up and testing helped them simply identify the core areas needing the most attention.

We just came off a pretty rough flu season. Would not at all be surprised if there were people sick back in December. There’s literally nothing to go off of but I think we’re pretty shortsighted to think that it’s going to happen and not already full blown here. We know moderate to no symptoms are what 60% of the infected.

Not to sure about that one. 30 teams X 17 players (max) = 510. Assume 80% get it (way high) = 408. They are in the young age brackets 20's and 30's. Expected lethality at that age is .1% for the general population. For a sub population that is a) extremely fit b) lacking in co-mobidities (no much smoking, obesity, heart defects, etc) c) can afford the very best available health care... how low will the fatality rate go? I suspect that the players will pretty much be fine. Coaches, GM' s and so forth are an entirely different kettle of fish...

[exstatic]

Why would there be NBA players dying from this bro? I thought if you’re healthy and in shape you’ll be alright?

No one is 100% out of the woods. If you look at the mortality demographics, there are at least SOME in every age bracket over 20. I consider the likelihood of any NBA players dying as extremely low, since it's a very small group, 450 at most, but it's not impossible.

It’s really the only data that they’ll be able to rely on.

Again, my thoughts are that this was well into the US by early January. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of those flu cases through December were Conrona. Which likely puts a peak in a time where there was literally no testing at all.

OK.

Through yesterday, there had been about 14,000 tests done nationwide in total. Not sure what the number is after today, but over half of those were done yesterday (8k). I'd imagine they've done something more than that today, so it might have doubled again today but we're obviously way behind.

Again, my thoughts are that this was well into the US by early January. I would be surprised if some of those flu cases through December were Conrona. Which likely puts a peak in a time where there was literally no testing at all.
I like your optimism. I hope you are correct

THere have 100% been flu situations that have actually been COVID19. We'll know what the peak is though, because that will be when the hospital system reaches the largest load. There hasn't been any peak. The number of cases has been able to fly under the radar and has been assumed to be flu, but its just growing. Now that we're finally starting to take this seriously the growth will slow, but it will still grow so any peak is still in the future.

[ChumpDumper]

Through yesterday, there had been about 14,000 tests done nationwide in total. Not sure what the number is after today, but over half of those were done yesterday (8k). I'd imagine they've done something more than that today, so it might have doubled again today but we're obviously way behind.Yeah, super late at this point but at least we can document this shit to avoid a similar clusterfuck in the future.

Fair point but I still think that’s skewed. They typically aren’t quick to admit you for seasonal flu even if it’s bad. They’re going to be real quick to admit you now.

Yeah, but its a simple math problem because we're dealing with exponential growth. I read a great example of a pond being covered by Lily Pads. Assume you have a pond with one lily pad and it doubles every day, and you fully cover the pond on the 30th day. Well, the riddle is to ask when the pond is half way covered, which of course is on day 29. But whats interesting, is that you don't get to 1% coverage until day 24! So even though its been here for awhile, the fact that its growing exponentially means that it grows fairly slowly until it explodes.

So its really unlikely that we had a peak then it fell off on its own. Its likely just been growing the entire time until it is so prevalent that it can't stay under the radar. But you're right that now that we're hyper vigilant to it we're going to find cases everywhere now. Well assuming we can test for it.

LMAO, athletes are actually more at risk of corona because of how far they push their bodies and the lack of fat they carry. Young people have better immunity but once they get it, fat is your friend to sustain yourself when everything else in your body goes fuck.

I don't know about sports but the swine flu was a big deal in my (third world) country. Classes and shit stopped for more than a full month, people would barely go out into the streets. The thing about COVID19 is that it seems to be slightly more fatal than the flu, whilst being much more contagious (and mass panic/sensationalism isn't helping at all), which for a virus is a huge difference. I'm really interested (and a bit scared) to see how everything unfolds, it's fascinating.

Much more contagious and people can spread it without being symptomatic. Also the fatality rate depending on age group is higher.

South Korea has peaked and starting to level off before the decline. Same with China. Other countries and the USA are following the South Korea model, except more of a slow road to closures instead of everything at once. Notice how everything is closing in a orderly fashion now? The plans were ready, now they are being implemented. I expect ALL schools in country shut down before Monday or by next Friday. Full quarantine
ONLY in hot spots.

The pinch is the concern..there would not be enough respirators for the patients who needed them and usually treatable conditions would become life-threatening. 40% of us will get it. Most even show more symptoms than a common mild cold. What we don't want is a mass of people getting it at the same time.

330 million * 70% exposure = 200 million cases * 1% mortality = 2 million deaths.

H1N1 (eg Swine flu) was a 90 year old virus that had already passed through the population and we had vaccines for. You might have taken H1N1 vaccines before you were allowed to go to school. But it killed 50-100 million people the first time it came through the human population when we had no resistance and no vaccines for it in 1918 and 1919.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/1918-commemoration/1918-pandemic-history.htm

SARSCov2 is conservatively projected to kill 500,000 Americans. It's serious shit. It's not thought to have crossed over into humans until the end of last November in a specific Wuhan wet market that 27 of the first 41 patients had visited. The only adults with resistance to it are those who have just gotten it and recovered.

We've known flu viruses for a while now and have developed vaccines for it, meaning that if it still kills we know we can somehow control it and have a fair perception of the epidemy. Corona is still mainly unknown with no vaccines and could be stll mutating, reason why scientists and authorities are cautious... Precautionary principle cos we just don't know yet.

As soon as those quarantines are lifted in China it'll likely go back to exponential growth there again too. I don't think there is much reason to expect this virus to stop until it has worked it's way through our population. I just hope China makes wet markets and wildlife farming illegal permanently so we don't get a third SARS from them.

Indeed, the way it has spread, only a planet quarantine would (virtually) stop it. So it's more about limitating and containing the pandemic until we find a vaccine for a virus that could become seasonal.

It's good that large venues with large groups of people are being shut down for 30 days and schools, it will help decrease the risk of this virus spreading even more like in China, Italy.

I cant see them totally cancelling the season. I think back to the 90's and MLB not having a playoffs one year and the detrimental effect it had on that sport and I think no way will Silver pull the plug. He's too smart for that. Yes, it's a different scenario but the same effect is very possible. Ratings were already down this year before Corona.

No more reg season and playoff games without fans by late April is very likely, imo.

Not trolling here but I'm being monitored for Covid-19 infection and might be tested by Tuesday depending on how long my current symptoms last. I'm self-quarantined at my home in California. What concerns me is that I have a fever, which I haven't had in over 10 years. I haven't travelled but I do work in constant public contact and live in Solano County, which has one of the biggest cases of the virus in the state. I'm not worried because I take care of myself and still relatively young but it sucks being isolated. Fortunately, I have a shit ton of sick leave. Hope none of you have to deal with it.

prayers for you padre, you're good people even if you're a little emotional
if it is covid you'll almost certainly be fine and you should have a pretty badass story to tell afterwards
make yourself a shirt - i survived corona 2020

Keep us posted, please. Far too many are convinced this is all a hoax. We need to hear from people on ground zero.

Stay safe. As long as you have enough toilet paper, you should be fine.

tinder is corona free though right? :lol

Restaurants, bars, theaters and such shut down in France too now after schools and universities. Some med peeps are strongly advocating for a complete population home confinement, Italy-syle... Be prepared for that in America, it's probably coming.

i feel like america is less prepared than europe... i think low income americans depend on fast food whereas europeans are much more used to making food. i could be wrong.

My wife is a charge nurse in the ER at a major hospital. It’s crazy right now. Everyone thinks they have it. It’s like the medical version of a run on the bank. People panicking is quickly becoming more of an issue.

as of right now for the US. Looks like out of the current active cases of people that are confirmed positive only .4% went onto be serious or critical condition. However, 52% of those that become serious or critical have died. This is for the US only.

In Wisconsin we have 300 tested negative and 30 positive. The hospital in town looks abandoned. NO ONE wants to go near it. We are cold till May so this will last awhile. People need the keep their asses at home so this can be over with.

Americans are not used to any adversity so when faced with any adversity of any kind they panic and fold.

This has been the problem all along and why its OVERBLOWN. If you have it and have no preexisting conditions you HAVE A LESS THAN 1 PERCENT chance of death. If you are sick, stay home. Use good hygiene. It's simple. However twitter people and the cdc and your politicians who you never trust until now ironically have pushed this

You got one thing wrong.

From the active cases, 0,4% are serious, i doubt that number (wordwide is around 7 to 10% range, changed day to day). They do not count into the resolved cases which you have citied.

The Closed cases of 116 include Mild and Serious cases; of them 56 (48%) recoverd 60 Dead (52%) -> of course there are many infected that have not been tested and recovered, also dead who have not been counted towards the virus, so the stats are flawed towards beeing more gloom. All in All the number of 52% will go down, but important to note is, that a good portion of the infected will die. Wordwide we are at 7% deathrate. (it is only the confirmed cases, the number is likely a little less)

What i mean by that, if it is a serious case, the likely to die is extremly high at the moment for the US.

[tholdren]

You have no proof of this. If they have a preexisting condition they have approx less than 15 percent mortality rate based on age and condition. Again just like flu or pneumonia.

Why?

[tholdren]

All you've done is downplay every single aspect of this outbreak.

Why?
I haven't. The have put to the forefront the issue. The focus is on testing when it should be on hygiene and prevention not shutdown. I have put to the forefront exactly what the cdc says is the issue. Healthy low risk people getting tested and taking resources from the people that need it. I have also put to the forefront that this is the same issue as the flu, which it is. The most fragile will be impacted at a higher level.

I have asked you what your ideas are for next flu season. And you just deflect. So go for it.

thanks dude. So far, it's just a fever that has gone down to 99.9 degrees. It was at 100.8 earlier. No sore throat and no breathing issues. Just body aches and the fever.
Thanks. Glad to hear that it seems to be getting better.

It's still speculation but i think the source is statistcal monitoring the flow of the disease, aka a correlation between weather and the disease spread. My comment is mainly a joke

Still don't know for sure, man. Still in self-quarantine. I have an on again, off again fever, body aches, headache, along with stomach issues and fatigue. Doctor thinks it's norovirus or a stomach flu NOT Covid-19 but it's still weird timing and plain weird AF for me considering I haven't had a fever in over 10 years. Also, stomach flu should not last this long. Will get a follow-up video appt. later today and will see what they decide from there. On the plus side, I haven't had any respiratory issues at this point nor am I coughing or sneezing. I know I'm going to recover from it soon enough but the situation sucks. Lucky to have sick leave though.
