Do you realize you and I are the only two people who have brought up the NBA since the OP? Apparently nobody even cares their season had even started, much less shut down besides us... Yeah, there’s probably a good % of guys here who don’t even watch basketball. The NBA section of JN is always dead. I venture to assume most NY sport fans aren’t too enthused about picking from the Brooklyn Nets or the New York Knicks. Personally, I love the sport but I also got into it about 6 years ago so it’s still new and shiny to me in some regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First let’s shoehorn in this Zion game at 10:30. Agreed. I work in a Broadway-adjacent industry and all the producers and unions want to pull the plug until this blows over, but they need Cuomo to declare an emergency first so they can collect on the insurance before shutting down. Until they get paid out, they don’t care who gets sick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone in my office lives in New Rochelle. He won't be at work for 2 weeks. There are no sure 'cures' for viruses once contracted (some anti-virals meds may or may not work..don't know yet), perhaps a specific vaccine in the future. No one 'wants' a virus where people need to be quarantined. 14 days is most definitely overkill, but until this novel virus and it's infection pattern is delineated, it is wise to overshoot. My take? Other than the 'usual' precautions? If you are elderly, immunosuppressed, or have significant co-morbidities (COPD, arterial disease, renal disease etc), I'd avoid most community interactions till this passes and just stay close to home. If I had a relative in a 'confined' environment like a nursing facility that I could take in for awhile and care for, I'd seriously consider it. If I managed a nursing facility, I'd shut out all visitors for a month if I was able to. This virus kills the elderly and infirmed at rates much higher than the general population...efforts should be directed to protect them first and foremost. Young people seem to have minimal symptoms, so even if your kid has what appears to be a common cold, I wouldn't take them to see grandma and Grandpa this weekend. The virus is here and it's contagious..you aren't going to stop it spreading, hopefully you can limit it's spread is the best you can do. Another thing...the true reported 'death rate' or CFR (case fatality rate) will continue to decline as more people are tested and non-lethal cases are counted; it's easy to count 'dead people' (the numerator), not so easy to count the total number of people infected (the denominator). Half of all Americans do not get the flu shot and the flu does not have an inconsequential CFR...yet everyone seems to be losing their collective sh*t over the Wuhan virus, perhaps because it is 'novel' and unknown? 6 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Panic is bad, and often leads to stupid decisions. Look at the stock market. They reason they don't call the 'flu' a pandemic every year, is because it's not 'new'. COVID-19 is a 'new' SARS type virus, hence the designation of 'pandemic'. 'Pandemic' only means it's a new illness/virus with significant worldwide spread...has nothing to do with it's results. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the point is that the mortality rates for the flu and Coronavirus are similar, it’s like saying “the good news is that most people who get hit by cars don’t die, but the bad news is that 60% of you are going to get hit by cars in the next month.” Like, thanks doc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
