Anyone want $4,600?

If these drastic measures work, they'll look like overreactions in hindsight. Sort of like how Y2K was handled so well people assumed it had never been an actual problem.

Experts said Y2K is being overblown, rockets wouldn't shoot off, computers would be fine. Experts are saying this is a pandemic, precautions need to be taken very seriously, this is not the flu.

This is a big deal that should be treated as such by everyone. It's not an apocalypse but needs to be taken more seriously, especially those in charge.

Lol, No he isn’t “free speech” applies to the government, not to private citizens

he said the gov should do somthing about guys talking on tv

 

[steverocks35]

Dr. Fauci on availability of coronavirus tests in the US, especially for medical workers:

"The idea of anybody getting it easily the way people in other countries are doing it, we're not set up for that. Do I think we should be? Yes. But we're not."

UGH

 

[steverocks35]

Ah yeah, that’s not possible, but ABD isn’t shutting anyone down

 

[BCSooners]

All over hyped. 60 million got the swine flu and 300k hospitalized and nothing shut down.

Not exactly true.

• The swine flu had a vaccine and Tamiflu was used as post care treatment. Neither are the case with COVID-19
• According to the CDC, the swine flu had a fatality rate of 0.001–0.007. COVID-19 has a fatality rate of 3.4% overall, and even if you want to look at one single country like posters on this board, the lowest fatality rate is 0.65
• COVID-19 is much more contagious than any other flu strain, with spread rates of 1 person infecting 3.

Yes, the swine flu had 60 million cases, over 300K hospitalized, and 12K deaths in the US, but if we get to 60 million cases of COVID-19, there will be many more hospitalizations and deaths, and a strain on our healthcare system that it cannot support.

To say it's not over hyped is not being honest with yourself. Think about everything shutting down, there's been how many deaths? Less than 50 and most of those were in ONE nursing home.

Sunday? i would be surprised at this point if it is not canceled by midnight.

I think Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell getting the virus has changed the outlook of sports leagues and conferences. They are thinking about the "what-if" game with the athletes.

They will cancel due to potential liability and practicality

 

[hoopsaustin]

This is not about “well they’re doing something at least.” No, doing the WRONG things makes it worse. The markets agree with me.

Lol. Disease spreads worldwide.. markets go down..

Markets: " I'm going down solely because steverocks35's posts on ouhoops.com"

 

[hoopsaustin]

If someone else were president what would the stock market be at? It is a fair question.

The same place..

It went up 75% in 3 years so lets try to find some perspective here. The Italian markets were not impaled because of the person you hate.

Before the address to the nation last night, stock futures were in positive territory, directly afterwards the futures crashed and the markets opened up and reached the -7% stop threshold

1. Go all in on testing. The administration’s testing regime has been woefully insufficient

2. Mobile triage and CDC response units in hot zones.

3. Ban all large gatherings.

4. Be honest and forthcoming in briefings instead of slow-playing this and acting from a position of denial.

These are off the top of my head.

Well damn, you and ABD have all the answers and the resumes/cv to give you those answers... have you contacted the Trump administration directly yet? If not, why do you want us all to die?

That number is not correct. Market was up 58% at it's high, far from up 75%. Point is still valid though in the market was up since 2016. BTW, that was less than HW Bush, Clinton and Obama in their first 3 years.

However, since the sell-off, that number has fallen to up 22% as of today.

Even if your point is correct (17% discrepancy), the value of your point is weak/pointless as some sort of rebuttal to the original responded to point..

It was in response to the president taking measures to reduce the influx of the virus coming into our country. It is "simple dimple" you either think that is a good thing or you do not. How could you possibly believe that it would add to the contamination already present within our borders.

When a fires engulf parts of California communities the authorities will decide if it is necessary to evacuate certain areas. If the fires continue to spread they then decide to evacuate more areas. They just don't tell everyone to leave the state.
