They should suspend him for stupidity

Rudy Gobert tested positive, they’re concerned about everyone becoming a carrier getting sick. It’s a little overkill, but who knows how many players he might have transmitted to already.

Post/handle?

I don't think the NFL Draft will be affected as it is over a month and a two weeks to go.
 
No flights from Europe for the next 30 days. This is serious stuff.

I want the NCAA and NIT but I think neither will happen now unless they put it off a couple of weeks at least.

all I can say is WOW

How long before they close schools, along with businesses throughout the country and the state?

Schools in CT are closing Monday. Putting my money on it. I'm a teacher and there's been lots of hints and info being asked of us to do which all point to having things up and running and ready to send home things by Friday.

Italy just went into it’s most extreme lockdown: all businesses but pharmacies and groceries closed. We can expect the same in a few weeks if we don’t take drastic action now.
 
Uconn is shifting to online classes starting the Monday after spring break

Teach in Ohio and we are just waiting to hear from the Health Department. Since we are a one to one technology district we will use our 5 calamity days and then develop lessons for kids to work through at home. Though there is little chance of most kids working.

Agreed on percentage of kids actually working. We're putting stuff together online through Google Classroom, etc, but we'll see who actually does anything. We are not going overboard with it as we are being realistic, even if the higher ups are not.
 
Not only is toilet paper not available, you cannot get diapers for babies, baby wipes, ect.

Im researching LP/NG home generators. What happens when the workers cant man the power plants?
 
Fred Hoiberg just left the bench and immediately was taken to the hospital. Season is done.

This may be a very dumb question, but why can't they just test the whole league for the virus and quarantine those that test positive and continue the season in empty arenas?

CNN told me there are not enough tests.

One of the major issues is we don't have the resources to test as much as we should. We could probably test the whole league, but it would severely limit the testing on the general population

And imagine the response from people when all the players would get tested for free. Sets a precedent that players and the sports entertainment are more important than the rest of the country.

Don't be so sure of that. NFL and MGM talked today about what to do. I'm sure they will wait it out to see what happens, since as you mentioned they have some time.

I work in the power industry and PSEG (large utility in Northeast) is my main customer. Plant operations is definitely a hot topic for them right now. I assume they will reduce to minimum work force each shift and have very strict testing policies before entering plants. Plants have to run though.

Therein lies the problem and the solution (at least at this time). The problem is the virus infects silently and aggressively. The solution (first step) is to test anyone who needs to be tested. We need test kits ASAP.

Sit this one out. You've got nothing to add. Watch, listen, and learn.
(Doesn't matter if your comment isn't meritless. Not knowing enough to choose a better word than "mayhem" is a negative predictor.)

The first hand accounts from Italy are alarming as is them having an almost 40% jump in deaths today. They have 827 deaths out of 12,426 confirmed cases. I don't have any breakdown on ages, previous health problems but 6.64% death rate is a lot higher than the 1-2% we've been told to expect from epidemiologists.

Tournament is definitely over, today was the last day of games. Really sad for Christian Vital, all the other UConn players and everyone else in college bball who put so much into it.
Sports Illustrated on Twitter: "The Nebraska basketball team is currently being quarantined inside their locker room, per @heady_chris. Head coach Fred Hoiberg was taken to the hospital after not feeling well during their Big Ten tournament game https://post original url/UuReFwGHLP" / Twitter
