This is what I have been hoping to hear, at least televise the games if they are to be played in mostly empty arenas.

They'll televise the game everywhere but their home markets, claiming blackout rules apply since the game isn't a sell out. ;)

The greater consensus among teams is to play games without fans. Isn't television money wonderful.

The NBA will use the suspension to find a way forward.

This is getting crazy.
If by crazy, you mean serious. Yup!

Even Tom Hanks and his wife have tested positive for coronavirus.

To the millions of people in everyday life, they're saying that this
will be a major worldwide issue for the next two months, at least.

Think how many people who have it who have not been tested.

I was watching local news a day or two ago and they had like only 225 tests for Arizona.

This could be Vince Carter's final NBA play. He's the oldest player in the league now at 43 years old and is in his 22nd NBA season. Kind of crazy he made it that long.

I remember when he was younger and Barkley would call him "Half-Man/Half-a-Season" as a play on his "Half-Man/Half-Amazing" nickname. He did play for the Suns back during the 2010-11 season.

That's where the novel coronavirus is so insidious. Older people with preexisting conditions are usually the ones at risk for death.

Yeah, younger people will just die from broken legs and appendicitis because the health care system will be so overburdened from us old people gasping for breath because there will be no respirators for most of us.

Isn’t that true for pretty much every type of infection/virus? Babies and the elderly have weaker immune systems.

I guess no building a hospital in 10 days for this country. It's so sad this country dragged it's feet when they had time to prepare for it after the outbreak in China.

Anyone who saw Ricky Sobers in his prime is in serious trouble...

From what I have read and heard the novel corona virus is said to be 10 times more likely to kill than the ordinary flu virus. Apparently this virus doesn't attack the young as hard as it does the old with preexisting conditions.

Does anyone have video of Gobert making fun of people panicking about the Coronavirus and then purposefully touching all the microphones? Apparently that really happened. And he has it! The freaking ******** has it!
