No, nothing official but with the NBA suspending the season they aren't gonna put these kids at risk. Fred Hoiberg left the bench tonight and was taken immediately to the hospital. Sounds like he may have been released from the hospital already with flu-like symptoms but the whole Nebraska team was quarantined. After seeing what's going on in Italy and how things are rapidly ramping up here they're going to have to cancel.
It's amazing people still are willing to believe any info/#'s coming out of China.There are like 20 threads on here freaking out about the virus, figured I'd jut pick one to post this in...
Interesting article from the NYT about people obsessing over the virus. Below is an interesting stat (assuming it is correct) about the place where this all began that puts things into a bit of perspective, hopefully.
Obviously it is wise to exercise caution and do what we can to prevent the spread, especially since testing just began and no serious actions to curb the spread took place until this week, but the hysteria I've seen here and other places online may be a little over the top.
"However, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, Hubei, the Chinese province where the virus emerged, has reported 67,760 infected people out of a population of about 59 million, an incidence rate of 0.11 percent. This means that 99.89 percent were not infected, suggesting that the American stalkers are probably overestimating their level of risk."

Some amount of information is necessary to be prepared, but we also must avoid needless worry.www.nytimes.com
Oh you mean there is information out there that doesn’t feed the fear? You never see this on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. I wonder whyThere are like 20 threads on here freaking out about the virus, figured I'd jut pick one to post this in...

Why do you think serious cases/deaths are probably accurately reported? China lies about everything. They wanted people to believe nothing was happening as this spread throughout China and the world and now they want people to believe there are no more cases and they conquered the virus.
The H1N1 didn't seem that bad when it was declared over. Reports come out years later that it was 10 to 20 times more deadly than initially thought/reported. Whenever this thing winds down, no matter what the numbers look like you can guarantee we'll find out the #'s were a lot higher when it's all truly examined years later, not to mention all the people who seem okay but have permanent lung scarring.
Germans viruses are so much more efficient...
At the end of the swine flu pandemic WHO reported the world death toll was 18,500 people. Years later we found out it was 10-15 times that.
