    you really need to watch the video that Sly posted on page 6 of the 'OT - NBA preparing for coronavirus' thread. An expert on infectious diseases is being interviewed and he's talking about a model that says it could require 48 million hospitalizations, 96 million cases, and over 480,000 deaths. Sure sounds like a plague to me

    Fear mongering.

    They should factor in Nurk's expected return on Sunday. It would be no good if there weren't any fans there for that.

    I hope you're right. I hope we'll look back on all this and laugh about all the panic and overreactions.

    But what if you are not.

    At this point it doesn't matter since we're taking all of these steps to prevent the spread.

    The opposite of fear is faith.

    The NBA should go on hiatus until Rodney Hood has recovered from his Achilles injury.

    Figures this would happen during a long stretch of home games.

    Faith in not being paralyzed by fear. Wake up each day know you can fight the fight and/or live positively.

    I like this statement.

    I was watching a show on Netflix which I enjoy and there’s a quote in it that goes like this ... “The opposite of Love is not Hate; it is indifference”.

    What you said made me think of that quote; which I agree with. Hate is something completely on its own.

    I know it seems religious but I didn't mean it that way. Faith in one self to succeed, or being faithful to whatever instill confidence.
