Wow!

Post by clevelandbrowns#1 »

I want you all to read your own posts about playing the GAME of basketball. This Coronavirus is no GAME, it is better to be safe then sorry. I sure hope none of you complaining about not being able to watch a sporting event don’t lose a friend or a family member to this unknown Coronavirus. I commend the people who are standing up and closing, canceling or limiting the possibility of this spreading. Leave the decisions to the medical people and quit the bitching about everything that you don’t agree with.

I agree with what you said. Just look at Italy for what happens when you don’t do anything about the virus. But get ready for some backlash. This topic is about as toxic as politics is on social media right now.

It is much easier to apologize for overreacting than it is for gloating saying i told you so. While it is a shame that events will be played with minimal spectators is in the best interest of those involved

I haven’t blamed anyone but it 100% sucks for kids and the communities who have made it this far. The inconsistencies tick me off. My mind won’t change, not bitching at anyone. The people making these decisions are higher ups and are putting much thought into it and also likely tons of pressure to do so. This is a high school sports website made up of small but passionate communities. It sucks, not blaming anyone.

Has there been some outspoken criticism on here or something?

I’m with you 💯 on this virus. THIS IS NO JOKE PEOPLE. Wish these precautions were taken for influenza. Maybe we wouldn’t lose 60,000 people a year to it.

Here is an illustration showing why some of the decisions are being made the way there are.

Why is this thread on the boys basketball forum? Please move it to SEO News, Politics, or the General Chat Forum.

You know politically biased responses are coming so leaving it on here is just asking for it.

I put it on here because people are on here talking about how stupid it is to be not allowing people to watch their schools play in these regional and state games. How about we let the medical and higher ups decide what should be done. How about we think about the people across this world who have died from it so far. I’m sorry but some of you on here should be ashamed that all you are thinking about is you. So what if this turns out to be nothing? If it saves one life it is worth it.

I read today where Chuck Norris killed Coronavirus when he contracted it. I think we’re good now.

Yes this virus is serious! The problem I have with it, is that all of these flu viruses are serious. If they would take these types of precautions every flu season maybe they could save thousands of lives every year.

It's fine here. It can be moved when it dies down. Sucks but maybe it's for the best.

COVID-19 has 10 times the mortality rate as the seasonal flu. In some parts of the world the death rate is 6%.

Our only chance to get on top of this is NOW. Once the outbreak explodes it's too late. Time to defer to the health experts and take the necessary steps.

No one wants anyone to die or become infected. Of course it’s always best to be safe but also if taken to far with that thought, we’d never ever get anything done. The effects look obvious to outweigh the sickness of the virus. It is certainly being somewhat blown out of proportion. Taking measures is needed for sure. But this is wild right now and will be much more very very soon. But the “better to be safe” is being full bore for this and an afterthought for virtually everything else harmful and dangerous.

Gas is cheap though

10x the mortality rate? Dr. Fauci said it has the possibility to be that.

Here are some numbers....as of yesterday

127,000 cases of Covid 19...1,323 in US
4,718 deaths worldwide...38 in US

This flu season....from CDC

34 million cases of flu
350,000 hospitalizations due to flu
App. 20,000 deaths due to flu

Covid 19 comes from one virus
Influenza comes from many

Those are some facts from CD and Johns Hopkins school of Public Health....who is working with CDC
Also...there are about 2,500 researchers and medical providers working on Covid 19.
