Are you saying that SMU, Dallas- Fort Worth, and the state of Texas are going to I invite atheletes from the AAC to play a tournament and not provide the best medical care possible to every student and coach who needs it. It seems unlikely.

These teams have been playing each other for weeks now in jammed packed stadiums. Now a few days later the same guys can't play against each other in an empty stadium.
Why was it safe on Sunday and deadly on Thursday?

I see they didn't cover exponents in your remedial math class.

What I'm saying is the country does not currently have the resources to test and determine who actually has the virus. So no I don't think the AAC will be able to provide the best medical care for the student and coaches who need it

Why? Because a guy in China wanted to eat snake testicles, that's why!

I'm starting to believe like half the population is illiterate.

Do you understand that the regular influenza that hits has a vaccine, and anti virals that can treat it? And that this virus (it’s in fact called novel because it’s never been seen in man before) doesn’t have a vaccine and anti-virals used for the flu don’t work on it?

So why did 60 million get sick and thousand die from the swine flu? Or don’t facts and statistics matter.

Because there wasn’t a vaccine available for swine flu? Are you trolling or just incredibly scientifically illiterate?

So a million test kits already provided and another 4 million expected in the next couple days is insufficient

Are we there yet?

This makes me want to watch Old School

Exactly, the highest risk event in these games are the travel and public lodgings. Once the teams are there cancelling does not make sense.

They are in Fort Worth. Only 190 miles to Austin. They should to take a bus to Austin and start Spring break early.

13 million flu cases 2019-2020, with estimated 20-50 thousands deaths so far.

 

[MTHusky]

At least we have a CDC right? Right??

Not sure what you're responding to.

Is this a serious question about testing? I think it's a question even though you didn't use the punctuation. It's been totally insufficient, as has every other aspect of our handling of this. We're at least two weeks behind and our # of coronavirus cases are so low because we've only conducted 11,000 tests.

You really are a fear monger. How do you know so much? You work for the CDC?

They had a congressional hearing today and they announced they had only done 11,000 tests

you'll come off as less of a jackwagon if you do a little research from respectable sources

Why would i listen to someone who has no idea what they are talking about? They've already said that this is potentially 10 times more deadly than the flu and also way more contagious.

How does the new coronavirus compare with the flu?

Research so far indicates that COVID-19 spreads more easily and has a higher death rate than the flu.

Oh I’ve done enough research. It’s people like you and super John who will send this country into a recession and panic. Enjoy you’re fear mongering and we’ll see how this turns out in a month.

you never heard of the saying better safe than sorry? economies rebound, dead people don't.

Current numbers of deaths do not correlate to that prediction.

As in "If it saves only one life it will be worth it."? Sorry, that is a red herring.

Dr Fauci said they had technical problems with the first CDC test kits that delayed things. Ramping up now with private sector testing.

 

[tzznandrew]

It is utterly irresponsible to allow posters to spread doubt about COVID here.

There's opinion (postponing vs. cancelling vs. no fans, etc.) and then there are people in this thread spreading misinformation that could be actively dangerous.

It's a bad look for the board, and it also could directly play a roll in harming people.

This has been an unbelievable s***show, I have zero faith in anything coming out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

It's up to state and local to get a handle on things and up to the citizens.

You'd have to be an idiot to believe anything coming from there.

Oh, wait...

We really have some morons here that lack any ability to think beyond a few hours ahead.
Right now in Italy they are making unthinkable decisions that I hope Americans don’t have to in 4 weeks from now. For example if you have pneumonia and you’re dying you’re not getting a hospital bed in Italy, young or old, you’re sent home.
Morons; read a little about the this virus vs the flu, about exponential growth, about social distancing and about the horrible things that are happening right now in Italy. It’s basketball.

Congress and the White House are nearing an economic rescue package; stocks plunged again Thursday despite the Fed offering at least $1.5 trillion worth of short-term loans to banks.
