March 11, 20205 yr i hope they move the Final Four to some high school gym in ATL or even Tech's. That empty dome will be disorientating for sure.

This is another form of the flu but yea ok freak out and stay at home. Lol you're cloak rooming a pandemic, this is cool. (That said, the Ivies cancelling ALL spring sports seems really fucking excessive) Edited March 11, 20205 yr by texifornia
March 11, 20205 yr Literally cloak rooming a pandemic. Well hell, Ive seen it all now. Imagine being such a moron that you think a pandemic is some sort of liberal conspiracy. Science? No thanks man, I'm good.

Covid19 most comparable buddy is the flu.

Well 50-100 people in a gym is a lot safer than 20,000. That's the whole point. And you can closely monitor players, coaches, and commentators, to ensure they don't show up if they are coughing. You can't ensure that several in a crowd of 20,000 will be irresponsible assholes and show up coughing because "I feel fine" or for some cloak room reason like the dude in this thread. Also much less likely that any of the small group are in the not yet showing symptoms category. Edited March 11, 20205 yr by 'stache
March 11, 20205 yr Ok I think it’s all overblown. Apparently you can’t have a differing opinion here on surly. Covid19 most comparable buddy is the flu. Why’s it overblown? Experts know nothing about it. We don’t know if it’s seasonal, the vaccine, we don’t know if it infects somebody with another completely different issue if it’ll spawn a different strain of covid19. If we knew something about it, there’d be a vaccine or tests.Is now the time for your .02 about a now pandemic or are you going to remind us in 7 days when cases are in the 10s of thousands?
March 11, 20205 yr Will be interesting see/hear the announcers during big moments in the games, does Harlan tone it down? Nantz going with his Masters whisper?

CDC has 938 confirmed cases in the us and that’s with nothing being done. I get we have little info but up to this point the only people it’s killed is elderly and those with underlying health conditions. 38 deaths out of 938 cases? That’s less than the flu. So yea I think emptying out events and arenas is a tad overblown. If the death toll was 200 out of 938 I wouldn’t be saying that. Everything I’ve read has said it’s not killing healthy people or kids but kinda like the flu it’s deaths are with elderly and unhealthy individuals. is the big 12 tourney banning people? I assume since the big tourney is now. Shit that might help Texas.
March 11, 20205 yr Ahh yes more neg reps from those with differing opinions. I love it from the we accept everyone clan then negs anyone that’s opposite of them. Lol.
March 11, 20205 yr LMAO, we have tested basically nobody and this guy is spitting facts about how many cases are out there. Lulz.

That's why it's overblown. No one knows anything about it, but everything is being cancelled. The measles - we know what that can do. It hasn't been in this country for decades. Yet people are electing not to get vaccinated, and now it's back. Polio - we know what that can do. Yet people are electing not to get vaccinated. Wait and see what happens when this comes back. The flu - vaccination is optional, so people catch it every year, partly by choice if they don't get the vaccination. (and I get the vaccination doesn't always work). But now, we can't decide for ourselves whether or not we want to take a risk of exposure by attending events, etc. It's being decided for us in a panic.

Actually that's not at all how this shit works. We already know how it spreads...we have great examples in Italy/Asia etc. So locking down is the best move. If we were testing and knew where we were positive and negative maybe we could go on. We are not testing so we don't fucking know, hence...Have you never heard of err on the side of caution? WTF? Are people really this stupid?

March 11, 20205 yr Just now, Rockethorn1978 said: That’s on the cdc main page hoss. Go look it up. BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T TESTED ANYBODY (because we dicked around preparing for this) is the core component of that statement.

Can’t the ncaa strong arm the conferences? i bet opening day for baseball is fucked too. I took the kids to six flags today and was telling the wife I’m shocked six Flags Over Texas hasn’t been shut down.

The CDC count is what it is because we have been totally unprepared to actually test people, not because it's the right number. We can't confirm a diagnosis with a test that hasn't been administered.
March 11, 20205 yr soooooooo much of this thread's content has nothing to do with basketball and needs to be in the Daily Texan thread.

Again I’m quoting a government page. I can only quote what they have. To say it’s more than that is an assumption. Maybe it’s way more and maybe it’s way less.

March 11, 20205 yr 1 minute ago, Rockethorn1978 said: Serious question, can the ncaa strong arm conferences though? Will Shaka Smart be allowed to coach if only essential staff is allowed? If not, it could be a big advantage for the Horns.
March 11, 20205 yr Lol can’t have a differing opinion or you’ll get neg repped guys. anyways, my bet is no fans on opening day or the nfl draft. But there’s gotta be more std floating around Vegas than this though. Haha.
March 11, 20205 yr I just bought tickets to the final four...fucking sucks. I hope things change in the next couple weeks.

Also the death rate is 10x that of the flu, but keep your head in the sand.

March 11, 20205 yr I’ve got tickets to future tickets games I’m preparing to just eat it. Unless they do refunds which I assume will happen for all of this. This has to be in the billions of lost revenue.
March 11, 20205 yr I don’t agree but if I was bowlsby I would shut down the big 12 to look proactive especially if the ncaa is. I’m still amazed the ncaa can’t force conferences to shut down.
