Damn this could have been our year given our significant experience with empty arenas over the past few seasons.
True. Except we lost every home conference game.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 3:50 pm Damn this could have been our year given our significant experience with empty arenas over the past few seasons.
EXACTLY RIGHT!!!LanderPoke wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 5:35 pm This is dumb. Anything short of quarantining everyone to their homes for many weeks will fail to stop the spread of the virus. It's inevitable. Cancelling these events might slow the spread of the virus, but it's only delaying the inevitable. If you're old, weak, fat, in poor health or otherwise susceptible to death by this virus then it's on YOU to stay away.
Just saw that Rudy Gobert has the virus. So probably lots of NBA players already have it. It's impossible to stop!seattlecowboy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 8:27 pm Think they will probably end up canceling the NCAA tournament now that the NBA is suspended. If one college player test positive for the virus I can almost guarantee it will be canceled or at least suspended.
That's the point though. No one is trying to stop the virus spreading, that's virtually impossible. What they ARE trying to do is slow the spread so medical services aren't overrun. If 10 million people need hospitalized in the next 2-4 weeks, hospitals will be overrun and a lot more people will die. If that same 10 million hospitalized is spread out over 6 months, medical services will have a better chance to keep up.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 5:35 pm This is dumb.

Beat me to it. The whole point is to slow the spread of it.WestWYOPoke wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 10:56 pmThat's the point though.

Having said all that, I do agree that things are being blown our of proportion. If you are immunocompromised or over 65... stay home.
Lmao that’s gold. Well done.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 3:50 pm Damn this could have been our year given our significant experience with empty arenas over the past few seasons.
