AAC Tournament Cancelled

[Stinger92860]

CDC is "Crap Data"?

Not what i said. The other poster had crap data. ????????

 

[Stinger92860]

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

Oh, wait...

Your right, this is a partisan issue. Give it a break for a few days.

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.

It's been a good 50+ years since one could have any degree of faith in Washington

Well if you are banking on the state you are out of luck too - our state lab can only test about 100 at a time. But, the private sector is ramping up.

20 tests a day in CT. is what my buddy told me. I'm seeing coherent messaging from a lot of the states and they aren't lying snd minimizing the situation.

South Korea and the US had their first cases on the same day, January 20th. As of last Sunday we had tested 1,700 Americans South Korea had tested 190,000. As of now we're up to a whopping 11,000. South Korea 230,000+

I don’t get this. Schools are gonna close.

I teach in a school and we’re still open. “Gonna” close yes, my point is March madness cancels 12 hours ago with only 50 people in arena but hundreds of kids packed into a building remain open all day today and tmrw. U wud think schools would be the first to cancel. That was my only point really. Found it strange that tourney cancelled before school

 

[Nickkosta05]

If they play a delayed tournament I will be super pissed. If they don’t give kids another year, no matter freshman or senior, double pissed. Soooooooooo lame. Whole thing is so dumb. It’s the freaking flu people. Sweat it out. Can’t believe it. Just watched us play Tulane. 5 days later and I haven’t died. I was with my 73 year old parents. They haven’t died. Exercise people.

Might be a new record here.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Silver lining: Bouknight didn’t get to show all his stuff to NBA scouts during tournament time and I think it’s probable that he comes back next year.

Look at this Data:

Coronavirus Age, Sex, Demographics (COVID-19) - Worldometer

Age, sex, demographic characteristics such as pre-existing conditions, of coronavirus cases of patients infected with COVID-19 and deaths, as observed in studies on the virus outbreak originating from Wuhan, China

I haven't seen (even though I haven't looked that hard) any comments on the bright side of this issue. Now they can scrape that god awful American Athletic Conference logo off the court at Gampel and at the XL Center.

For the "just a flu" people. More people died in 1 day in Italy yesterday from the virus than they had in 3 months of the flu (250 vs. 240).

The demographics of the dead in Italy are 90% over 80 (and most if not all of the others are over 60) simply because the Italian hospitals are steadfastly refusing to treat older people who have contracted this disease. Also, the deaths in China mostly came from the Woohan area when the virus first appeared. The deaths in most other areas of China are of a minimal percentage of the infected. Of the 40 deaths in the USA, most are over 80 and over 30 are in Washington State.

What are you even arguing? Who cares if the deaths are mostly old people. They're people! if you get it, you can spread it to an old person or to another person who can also spread it to another person who can spread it to an old person.

Deaths in other parts of china and elsewhere are low because the government started taking it seriously. We need to take it seriously. Because it's not just the flu.

We have no real idea on the # of cases and deaths other than to know it's all being underreported.

Is it supposed to be a good thing that the people dying are old?

And they're "refusing" to treat older people, because there is 0.0 capacity to do so because they didn't stay ahead of it. Your takes are horrible. It's not the flu, it's more contagious, it's 10x as deadly, and it doesn't matter how old the deaths are - these are people.

 

[alphasigko]

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.

The numbers to date do not bear out that the virus is 10x more deadly. So far, that is only a wild-ass prediction.

But the people going to sporting events are certainly interacting with the old people on a regular basis

What #'s? You have no clue how many people have it, how many have died from it, and how many will die from it.

So Dr. Fauci is "wild-ass"? No one on this board should listen to you vs. a health expert.

And to respond to your other stupid post that "older people don't go to sporting events." If they do or they don't, the point of reducing social gatherings and social distancing is to REDUCE THE SPREAD and STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE. People have parents and grandparents.

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

Mods, seriously, can we delete posts or ban these people who are actively causing harm by spreading misinformation at worst or having colossally ignorant hot take at best?

@temery @Fishy

Then Fear Mongers should be banned as well

 

[phillionaire]

Then Fear Mongers should be banned as well

TIL agreeing with the WHO and CDC and FDA and every other group of experts is fear mongering

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.....
