NBA suspends remainder of season

Unread post by bmw »

...and...the insanity continues.

https://www.nba.com/article/2020/03/11/ ... days-games
The NBA announced that a player on the Utah Jazz has preliminarily tested positive for COVID-19. The test result was reported shortly prior to the tip-off of tonight’s game between the Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena. At that time, tonight’s game was canceled. The affected player was not in the arena.

The NBA is suspending game play following the conclusion of tonight’s schedule of games until further notice. The NBA will use this hiatus to determine next steps for moving forward in regard to the coronavirus pandemic.

18,000 spectators at a 30% infection rate (6000) x 2.5% mortality rate means 150 people would die.

Overreaction, but why am I not surprised. Of course, TC Talks is trying to get people to panic. I take it you don’t plan on going outside for a while?

Read this if you can read. You've already posted that you shouldn't have to pay for things like education, but be glad some of us are educated.

Read this article if you can read. Quarantines are more about public perception.

Different execution method same idea. The article discusses preventing the spread of disease. How does this relate to cancellation of the NBA season? Flattening the curve works.
Two confirmed GTA cases are in voluntary “self-isolation” at home, rather than in hospital.

When you think about it, why stop with the NBA? Baseball season is just around the corner. Large groups of spectators congregated in a small area. I think if some players contract this virus the MLB could follow suit.

One other thing noteworthy about MLB is the player's association contract is up this year. If the player's feel like the league is somehow compromising their health and well being by moving ahead with the schedule, it might bite the owners really hard come the end of the season and renegotiation time. I suppose it's not unimaginable that there's no baseball for two seasons.

No baseball for two years? Now THAT would be amazing!

Well until we get a handle on this virus it might be a prudent thing to do. It would suck not having sports but if we're cancelling parades (Bay City St. Patty's parade for example) why not sports, concerts, and other large gatherings? Doesn't make sense to do one but not the other.

(If I am unintentionally misrepresenting your positions on the matter, let us know.) I think the CDC and WHO know more about medicine than either of you.
My GENERAL position is that the country can't just come to a grinding halt. I'm not contesting the fact that the virus spreads quickly and easily. I'd be curious to know what your specific metrics are for determining when large businesses or institutions should just shut down.

Jazz star Donovan Mitchell has tested positive for the coronavirus, league sources tell ESPN. Jazz players privately say that Rudy Gobert had been careless in the locker room touching other players and their belongings. Now a Jazz teammate has tested positive.
