COVID & the NBA

That’s a common misunderstanding about a recent study that says omicron multiplies 70x faster than delta in the bronchial tubes. That may account for why it’s about 3x more transmissible than delta.

great to know.

 

Anybody living with the "Tier 1" group they offered for them to come in and get the annual flu shot and the booster a couple month later. Very smart of them in my opinion.

 

Now Avery Bradley

 

this doesn't seem sustainable.

 

Maybe that is what Dame is waiting for - a break in which to better heal. If they did pause and then resume in a bubble environment (after a time and for a shortened season), I'd be inclined to tell Dame to get the surgery now, skip the season resumption/bubble and get better so he can be Dame Dolla next year rather than Dime-Store Dame.

 

I never liked being in crowded places. In fact, I've always hated it.

 

I’m sure the NBA could do the bubble in Portland.

 

Sure. Not the all star weekend, but the entire league for 3 months. Sure.

 

bgd has been drinking....



like a fish

 

You're supposed to clean them after use!

 

thinking about it....I'm not even sure what the NBA protocols are. What are the gauges for a player to be disqualified?

 

I think it's purposely ambiguous. But i would presume either a positive test, or continued proximity to others who have tested positive (via contact tracing).

In summer 2020, my work defined close proximity as spending at least an aggregated 15 mins in a workday within 6 feet of someone who tested positive. NBA prolly has their own definitions/rules.

I feel like 20 other players have entered protocols since I started this thread yesterday. I foresee a pause coming.

 

could very well be a stoppage. I think right now about 12-13% of the NBA players are out because of COVID. And lots of coaches and staff. There have already been 4 or 5 games postponed and at a certain point, making up those games will be a big problem

 

We had an employee that tested positive first week of the season. He told the contact tracer that he worked with me in the studio and sat a few feet from me one day. So I had to immediately go out the the Practice Facility and had to have a test. We were flying out to Sac for our first road game that afternoon. I obviously tested negative, but had to take a test 4 more consecutive days. Pain in the ass.

 

Bro they better shut this shit down before we go out in this road trip and I’m stuck in Memphis for Christmas!
