    Just got back from Home Depot, it was extremely crowded! No way they were counting bodies...
    Thought there was a numbers restriction?

    "Within our organization" - so, not necessarily players?

    It could be a very scary season. Providence medical facilities have canceled all elective and non-emergency surgeries and procedures in the Portland area.

    If a player gets hurt badly enough to require surgery, see Nurk and Collins for example, there could be a delay in getting the necessary treatment and that could cause further damage.

    If that happens, I understand that referees will be empowered just to shoot the players, like they do with racehorses.

    Not a chance my orthopedic surgeon (friend) told me that when pro basketball players require surgery they get the 5 star treatment in all ways. He said one reason pro athletes dont take as long to recover from knee surgeries is that they are not flopped around on the table like regular people are. They handle them with kid gloves.
    If Dame need knee surgery he'd get it just like they get tested and probably vaccines before anyone else.

    I don't see how this season will happen without the bubble.

    I have a friend i went to High School with who is a doctor at Providence. He is a respiratory therapist and is right in the thick of this.
    I talk to him every few days just to give him some encouragement. We are losing... We are losing this battle. They are swamped. They have no more people and no more hours to give. They are at the point now where they will have to start picking who is gonna live and who is gonna die.
    Think about this? It isn't even close to being over. This is going to get worse. Bet on it.

    I mentioned before they should play out the season with division bubbles that end with conference playoff bubbles in Orlando and Vegas...this traveling is not going to go well...
