Thunder/Jazz game might be cancelled - they were at shootaround pregame and then both teams were called back to lockerrooms.

[gambit1990]

just posted about this. i'm watching right now. it's eerie...

[gambit1990]

would suck if the game gets cancelled... okc would move up to the 4th seed with a W.

[Seventyniner]

So it took a global pandemic to keep the Spurs out of the playoffs!

(Pay no attention to the shitty coaching and rotations behind the curtain)

[slick'81]

Welp, its all over people save yourselfs

[ZeusWillJudge]

I saw a report earlier that the GSW game is going to be played without fans. Same with the NCAA Tournament.

Lmao if Gobert gets Corona after being a dumbass

[buttsR4rebounding]

The season gets cancelled and the streak stays alive!

[exstatic]

It’s sadly funny that you think covid isn’t here already.

[slick'81]

Its going to be a chaotic next few weeks

[tholdren]

Lol magic played with HIV.

[slick'81]

It’s sadly funny that you think covid isn’t here already.


Of course its here ,you seem definitely shook though

[tholdren]

It’s sadly funny that you think covid isn’t here already.
Sure its here. But unless you have a serious underlying condition and are over 80 it wont have a 15 percent chance of killing you

[exstatic]

Even at 5%, that’s 16,000,000 dead out of 320,000,000 US citizens. That’s in a short period of time.

[tbdog]

What if season gets cancelled but continues next year. Do you think Spurs could make a run? It might ruin Warriors tank.

So half our country is getting wiped out? Interesting

[Russ]

For what it's worth, I was at a soccer game in LA Sunday night with 22,000 other potential victims. A good time was had by all (it was a 3-3 tie :lol).

If we could get this government to do the same testing that South Korea managed (66,000 in the first week of cases) then we might have a better idea of what to allow and what to cancel.

[tholdren]

Even at 5%, that’s 16,000,000 dead out of 320,000,000 US citizens. That’s in a short period of time.

It doesnt work like that dolt. Not everyone will get it. Anyone who doesnt have specific pre existing conditions have less than a ONE PERCENT probability of death.

[buttsR4rebounding]

Even at 5%, that’s 16,000,000 dead out of 320,000,000 US citizens. That’s in a short period of time.

Death rates will come down to flulike levels. 23 of the 32 US deaths occurred at 1 Nursing Home in Washington. With better testing they will find many more cases. Almost everyone who gets it don’t know they have it and recover never knowing they have it. Ave age of US deaths: 80 years old.

[tholdren]

So, it could just be a cold or regular old flu.
Or diarrhea, or food poisoning, or strep throat, or a hangover.... but let's just cancel the game... because you know, no one has ever been to a game where someone was sick ...

[Slippy]

In Wuhan the central hotspot for Corona. The mortality rate for over 70yo was around 8 percent and over 80yo 15 percent.

Reading oldruns post reminds me of the former Iraqi Info minister. He full of positivity and spin . Lol

[tholdren]

Do not forget pre existing conditions. If you are over 80 and no conditions you have less than a 1 percent probability of death.

[JPB]

If just one player is positive to Corona, that's probably an instant hiatus on the whole season. With the 2 week incubation time, he could have contaminated many other players and so on, that would take a lot of time to test everyone.

wtf did I post that in the Demar's extension thread?

[Slippy]

So, it could just be a cold or regular old flu.

Yes it could be just a cold or flu. Most would still try to avoid catching it, unlike Gobert. Looks like they calling game off because of it.

[JPB]

Prolly Chinese taking their revenge for Morey's tweet tbh.

[CGD]

Does a postponement mean the playoff streak is still alive?

[tholdren]

People are just insane. Guess we will go into hiding every year. Today's human.

[Kori Ellis]

All those reporters are going to sue Gobert for touching their mics when they get it.

Kind of chilling the implications that means for how many Americans likely already have SARSCov2 then.

[GAustex]

Off season starts now?
Where do we draft?

Damn, I was about to drive through SLC tomorrow. Time for a detour, tbh.

[baseline bum]

So when do the travels bans start taking effect? By Monday?

[baseline bum]

Damn, I was about to drive through SLC tomorrow. Time for a detour, tbh.

Honestly, you gotta get your ass back home because quarantines and travels bans likely aren't far away.

[cjw]

Well, playoff streak stays alive?

[timvp]

Honestly, you gotta get your ass back home because quarantines and travels bans likely aren't far away.

Yep. Heading back home. Can't risk getting caught in a travel ban.

[DC23]

Domestic travel should be banned immediately.

Insane. Just fucking insane.

And its going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Didn't Gobert joke around with the mics in a press room like 2 days ago? JFC

[gambit1990]

wow, really wasn’t expecting things to escalate THIS quickly...

[ViceCity86]

Dusting out the closet breaking out my old video game systems for entertainment. My N64 still works as well as the NES and SNES. Just broke out the Xbox 360. Great system. My favorites are Vice City and Bioshock. Anyone play Bioshock?Damn,what a great game.

[JPB]

Playing during the summer would be an option but there's the Olympics (assuming situation gets better and they happen).

[Leetonidas]

Wow. Gobert is so fucking stupid. Bet he isn't laughing now. If he has you can guarantee other players have it too

[Kori Ellis]

Emmanuel Mudiay has it too.

[timvp]

Rudy Gobert was about to play tonight with coronavirus. He would have infected everyone, right? Damn.

[Gibbz]

Didn't Gobert joke around with the mics in a press room like 2 days ago? JFC

Yeah his dumbass will go down in infamy. If I had to guess I would've picked JR Smith or Embiid.

The stock market will probably shut down manana about 5 minutes after the opening bell (if there is an opening bell).

[Kori Ellis]

Tom Hanks and his wife have it. So now, people will start taking it more seriously.

[RD2191]

ZeT0dZNmGb4

Ho lee shit. This guy. Lmaooooo.

[timvp]

There's gotta be more players on the Jazz and Raptors who have it. (Jazz last played the Raptors -- and Gobert was super slow and looked sick during the game. He could barely move.)

[DC23]

I read Mike Conley has it too.

[ducks]

Steve Kerr and pop should get it
Anything to get pop off the spurs

I think its been out there much longer than people realize. Just haven't been looking for it or has been dismissed or attributed as Influenza or ARDS. We are behind as a nation. And the nut job in power is further limiting knowledge on the situation by making everything top secret... How anyone goes along with this idiot is beyond me (mind you I'd support any moderate republic or democratic if one even existed anymore).

[timvp]

The good news for the Jazz is that supremely healthy 20- or 30-somethings probably won't get too sick, much less die. Still sucks, though, obviously.

[slick'81]

And so the chaos begins

[Joseph Kony]

so glad i can work from home man, fuck this shit. i probably wouldnt die from it but having it sounds awful anyway. Gobert may not have caught it from touching all the mics but man he looks stupid as fuck now for that shit

[JPB]

Problem is they can transmit it too more fragile people and probably did.

ZeT0dZNmGb4
can you imagine if one of those reporters ultimately dies from the virus?

The vast majority who have this, have had this, or will get this will equate to cold symptoms.... man up

[Chomag]

Looks like they are going to play them out.

[ducks]

Tom Hanks and his wife have it. So now, people will start taking it more seriously.

It's sad when you think about it really. People are just not smart.

[ducks]

:lol all this panic

Yeah like people never got the flu or a cold

[timvp]

So what if the NBA makes sure each player is healthy prior to tip off of each game (testing for fever, etc) and the season is finished off with no fans in the stands? In that scenario, it's possibly they could start things back up relatively soon. But, then again, would the travel itself be deemed too risky?

[Joseph Kony]

The vast majority who have this, have had this, or will get this will equate to cold symptoms.... man up

hopefully your old retarded ass gets it. and no the majority of people who have COVID19 did not have it before. you're just as stupid when it comes to medical topics as basketball, no surprise :lmao

[gambit1990]

so if you test positive... how long after are you quarantined? until you don't exhibit symptoms anymore or die?

i know you can be a carrier and not be impacted at all.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol all this panic

If you are an average, mostly healthy person you will be fine.

Yeah man but we all have parents and grand parents. The more people that get this the more that the risk for them skyrockets. Plus even I'm not trying to take a 1 in 200 chance with my life, HBU?

[Chomag]

NCAA Tournament will be played without fans, I wonder if they will rethink about canceling that now.

[tholdren]

hopefully your old retarded ass gets it. and no the majority of people who have COVID19 did not have it before. you're just as stupid when it comes to medical topics as basketball, no surprise :lmao

It's not about NBA players dying it's about them spreading it to media, trainers, their friends, family, etc, and the compounding/multiplier affect this has.

no, just too much liability in general.

test everyone once? doesn't really make sense tbh... any player could catch it after testing once.

[timvp]

:tu @ China for not unleashing the coronavirus until after the Spurs dynasty was over.

The doctor that reported t was in his 30’s and healthy. It killed him. Some people, and it may be a fairly large percentage have genetics which make them more susceptible to Covid-19.

Just talked to a friend who is an HR director. One of the employees wanted to take off Monday and Tuesday. She has a friend coming in from out of state. The conversation went on and and it turns out the friend works at the nursing home in Washington. After getting into the discussion, the employee asked what they should do.

WTF is wrong with people? Seriously - you work in that nursing home, and you're going to hop on a plane and travel to another state? You've got a friend coming who works in that nursing home, and you tell them it's okay to come visit you? Sometimes I can't help thinking that all you mortals are doomed. If it isn't this, it will be something else.

A good percentage of people get it and never show any symptoms so they never even know they had it but they can still infect others.

He was most likely taken out by China because he was the whistle blower and they had already questioned him and warned him to stay quiet.

What actually happens if the season gets cancelled. Forgetting the logistics of paying players and workers, refunding season ticket holders, league pass purchases, etc...what happens to this season? Is it just erased and start over next year? Pick up where it left off before next season starts?

The reason why authorities are cautious is that (contrary to the flu we have vaccines for) sientists don't know much about this virus that coud still be mutating and become much more agressive for other categories of populations.

That's why it's important to isolate it before it spreads, as the more different people who get it, the bigger the chances it mutates.

Half the country would be 160,000,000. Drop a zero, and you’d have my figure, based on a modest 5%. 16,000,000. Do the math, on a calculator if you like. I’ll even provide the equation.

320,000,000 X .05

Go ahead. Punch it in.




So half our country is getting wiped out? Interesting

[Genovaswitness]

good to see the ST braintrust blame trump for a fucking virus. yeah bro he cooked it up in his lab :lmao

I expect other sports to follow suit - MLB, NHL, MLB, NCAA, everyone.

The economic impact of the these leagues being suspended is immeasurable. Think travel, hospitality, Uber/Lyft, security, PR/media, concessions, bars, and restaurants.

sorry ex misread. 16,000,000 deaths is much better

No. Not 3 zeros. One zero. 16,000,000. Sixteen million. You posted one hundred and sixty million. Drop ONE zero from that. Go back to my most recent post, punch the equation 320,000,000 X .05. into a calculator.

Edit. You got the gist, and edited. 16,000,000 is still horrifying, and will overwhelm healthcare AND mortuary services.

Except for us making the playoffs lol.

good to see the ST braintrust blame trump for a fucking virus. yeah bro he cooked it up in his lab :lmao


I just posted that Tom Hanks and his wife have been in Australia where they got exposed and now tested positive. I'm sure that's somehow Trump's fault, too.

People really need to stop politicizing this.

[ducks]

Due to Coronavirus we will not have an election! TRUMP will be President for the next 4 years! (watch how fast the epidemic is cleared)

[KobesAchilles]

Seriously, hopefully the Spurs tested Belinelli for coronavirus. It was worrying that a guy from north Italy came back from the All-Star break with a cough and a fever that caused him to miss multiple games . . . . .
Didnt even think about that. Who does Beli hang out with? Patty, Bryn, and Rudy right?

[TimDunkem]

Didnt even think about that. Who does Beli hang out with? Patty, Bryn, and Rudy right?

Patty is Australian, Tom Hanks likely got it after traveling to Australia. Surprising that between Belli, Mills, and all the other internationals in the league that more haven't tested positive.

[TimDunkem]

Also, wasn't Belli out with an illness recently?

:lol all this panic

If you are an average, mostly healthy person you will be fine.

It's not about "you" (the young, healthy person who gets infected and recovers) - it's about other people you potentially infect, and the strain it puts on the medical system.

kings game was about to start, and was stopped

[Arcadian]

Wasn't this shit suppossed to be a more severe flu? Get this shit sorted out for fuck sakes. :lol

It's quite different from the flu in several ways. It's a novel species of virus that our immune systems haven't encountered before, so it takes longer to fight it off and get better. It also seems to be the perfect storm of moderately infectious and moderately lethal. If a virus is too lethal, it kills its hosts too quickly to spread. This one is just moderate enough to take us off guard, and by the time people start dying, it's already spread faster than we thought it would.

[Leetonidas]

All because some dickwad had to eat a pangola or something :lol

It will continue to get worse. You can't stop this virus.

[Nathan89]

Kind of chilling the implications that means for how many Americans likely already have SARSCov2 then.

That would mean the death rate is very low if a lot of Americans have it.

[baseline bum]

:lol all this panic

If you are an average, mostly healthy person you will be fine.

It's not panic suspending gatherings of 18000 people in a tight spot in the middle pf a pandemic. It's a needed step to hopefully have the virus spread more slowly so it overwhelms our health system less. There is no hiding from it, you and I are very likely to become infected because this virus will keep going until it has infected enough of the population to where it can't effectively transmit any more. But anything we can do to slow the infections gives just a little more breathing room to our wholly inadequate medical system.

[K...]

Can we pink any user who spreads virus misinformation? Public health services is Paramount!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Even at 5%, that’s 16,000,000 dead out of 320,000,000 US citizens. That’s in a short period of time.

I have Italy at a 6 fatality rate based on the numbers.

[TimDunkem]

Beli, Mills, or any international player could have picked it up and brought it back, tbh. Wouldn't be surprised if more players test positive.

Not sure on travel ban at the time but is it possible one of Beli's friends traveled from Italy to the states to visit him during the ASB?

[UZER]

So Pop blames DT, when he has a dude that traveled to Italy sitting on his bench coughing it up. Would Pop have been ok with DT locking Belli out of the country for now, or his friend or whatever?

If he didn’t travel, maybe he brought someone in. Who knows. Should DT have locked it down?

It doesnt help they brought early infected to our beautiful city of sa

[timvp]

One would think they would have. Would be grossly irresponsible if they knew he was in Italy (which are we sure he was?) and not test him.

From the slight digging I did earlier in the week, he spent the All-Star break with Italian friends (including Gallinari, I believe) but didn't travel to Italy. But I didn't get much reliable info. That said, Beli is from Northern Italy (the hardest hit place in all of Europe) so it wouldn't be surprising if he at the very least hung out with Northern Italians during the ASB.

But, yeah, I can't imagine the Spurs let him play without testing him.

The south koreans were the only country to take Corano seriously from testing to quarrantine. Thats why their mortality rate is lower.

No other country comes close to how they have dealt with covid 19 as soon as it was reported.

Now look at Italy and their motality rates. Its scary how shit can become. They are in total lockdown.

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.
