    So use scarce tests on healthy college athletes just so they can play a game?

    Tom Hanks is one of the only celebrities that I actually like. I'll be angry if this virus takes his life.

    Players get paid but not ushers, concession stand staff, parking lot attendants, security. Sports bars Lise customers.

    First priority is health but people also losing livelihood. And social isolation increasing.

    The problem is that they can't be enforced unless we put up camera's everywhere. Too many stupid, reckless and impatient drivers on the road for cops to pull them all over. But if you really wanted to save lives, restrict cars so they can't go over 30 miles an hour. Of course, that would be an inconvenience that no one (including myself) would tolerate. But "if it could save just one life a day wouldn't it be worth it?" Of course not.

    Again not saying that the "Inconveniences" that are being forced on us right now is not the right thing to do..... just wondering how long we will tolerate it.

    Autot correct.... was supposed to say, "I'm Italian", but then in context, I'm guessing you knew that's what that meant. :cheers: And thank you for the concern about my friends and family in Italy dealing with this.

    They have no idea how many people really have this so figuring out mortality rates is next to impossible. The vast majority of healthy/younger people present with what they think are mild flu symptoms and treat it accordingly and recover. Of course there are differences, but so far, it is the old, respiratory challenged and already immune deficient that are passing away.

    Again, it's not to make light of it but was a comparison of reaction.

    If this isn't wake up call for some people that this shit ain't no joke... come on, guys and gals. Wash your hands every hour. Wipe down shit with cleaning wipes. Use some common sense. This isn't a game we are playing anymore.

    Scapegoating Gobert is kinda stupid. He's an idiot for mocking this and deliberately touching shit, but there is no way to tell that Donovan got it directly from Rudy. 57 of the 58 people associated with the Jazz tested negative yesterday.

    Well when you say everyone is overacting and touch everything to make a joke out of it and then get the virus..well that's on him. Is it his fault the NBA is suspended...nah. It was going to happen one way or the other. Coronavirus isn't fucking around.
