AAC Tournament Cancelled

[auror]

If that is the case, then why were not all of the major sporting events cancelled during the other past flu outbreaks like Swine Flu (H1N1), SARS, MERS etc? (SARS and MERS were more contagious and deadly than this Wuhan Corona-Virus) No one seemed to very concerned then.....

People were concerned then. Google the news from those time periods. Fortunately, those diseases did not enter "community spread" phases in America. We have that now in pretty much every state.

We are right here, and we are right now, and all we can do is worry about what's in our control. And to get through this, and to limit this, we need a community effort. Do your part or get out the way. This isn't a fire drill.

It’s not ok for teams to play in an arena with no fans present. But it’s fine for me to have to go to work still with hundreds of people around me working in cubicles and 1000s of people inside the same building. Makes lots of sense. So far so good health wise for me thank God.

Your company is bad and should feel bad.

Your company is bad and should feel bad.

It’s a well known respected long time national defense government contractor that contributes to a huge chunk of the CT economy. Bad companies are not around for over 100 years.

See my earlier post with a Link to a website that is continuously tracking the updated reports from countries throughout the world.

Wow, you're really not getting it.

We aren't getting real number of cases and deaths because of lack of testing and countries lying.

For example there was a number given of deaths when H1N1 was over, years later after a lot of research the number given was 10 to 20 times higher.

I hope it doesn't get that bad, if it doesn't it will be because many local & state officials have made some great decisions and taken this deathly seriously. Big business like all the sports leagues have also been great in putting safety over money.

Absolutely NOT!! BUT, the point is specifically that it affect Old people most, and they are NOT the ones going to in-person sporting events.

What are you implying? Only the women's tournament should have been cancelled?

Sanjay Gupta just said what I've been talking about and fearing and what I think will be the true awful toll of this years down the road.

My fear is permanent lung scarring.

He talked about people who had the virus and after quarantine and or hospital care seem fine. A group of them were tested like a month or two later and 50% of them look like they may have permanent lung scarring with like 20-30% reduced lung function going forward. It's too early to tell but that doesn't sound good.

Really? Swine flu infected 60 million Americans!

Was talking about SARS and MERS. Swine flu did but had a mortality rate less than the normal flu.

This has both the greater than flu mortality and community spread in America.

You just don't have a clue about most anything you've posted on this topic.

You know what would be crazy and cool at the same time? When we're talking about life-threatening issues like coronavirus, and you say things like you know what you're talking about, you could just tell everyone what your area of expertise is. You know, so we know whether to pay attention or not.

I'm an engineer and finance guy, so i haven't proclaimed to be an expert on fatality rates, transmission etc...

It would just be super nice to know who actually knows what they are talking about vs those taking a political stand.

 

[tzznandrew]

Where are the numbers that back up your claim?

Sanjay Gupta is a CNN politically correct liberal. His reports are all politaclly biased.

Seriously. WTF.
