“ This crap is what is tanking the market. Adults no longer own/manage businesses; franchises et al. People at the top in all sectors are being managed by thumb-sucking, Trump/America hating morons.”

Wasn’t it recently that tge NBA was caught favoring China’s wishes over our own?

>>>Why did they not cancel last year after 18,000 plus died from the flu?

Tens of thousands die of the flu every year, yet many on this forum proudly state every fall that they never got and will never get a flu shot.

Does this mean the online sports gambling websites are going to have to start taking bets on video games, Monopoly, and Dungeons & Dragons games just to stay in business?

>>>They didn’t cancel for H1N1 in 2009.

Why would they, it was just the flu.

live my life without the media choosing my fears.

Do you think the media just "made up" what is happening in Italy?

After this crazy panic is over, people from all groups are going to be hurt severely economically.

It's a panic, but it isn't crazy. See: Italy.

There will be less money for social safety nets and old people will really suffer then.

If we don't keep the healthcare system from collapsing - which it will do if we don't cut down the transmission rate - old people will neither have health care OR an recovering economy to enjoy.

” I have a bigger fear of getting AIDS from faggots at a gay parade than getting corona virus at a stadium.”


You’d have to do something very wrong to easily catch AIDS from attending a gay parade. On the other hand, one or two people, likely symptom free, shedding the corona virus on things they touch, the handrails going down to your seats, the mustard dispenser at the hot dog stand, an occasional cough or two and then dozens may get the bug.

And they’ll be sharing it before they know they have it. That’s why, I think people are scared of this thing. It is very contagious before people feel sick, and it has a pretty high mortality factor. Since it is new, no one has a natural immunity to it.

It is easy to think that this is part of the “deep state’s” plan to unseat PDJT, but if the state is deep enough to shut China down for over a month, close all businesses in Italy, close schools in Japan, etc etc then the deep state is a whole lot deeper than anyone gave it credit for.

On the other hand, I don’t recall reading about anyone blaming Wilson for the “Spanish” flu of ‘18-’19 or try to make any kind of political points out of it. Things happen to people in this world that have nothing to do with politics. Epidemics are part of the nasty stuff that sometimes comes our way. It’s been over a century since we’ve had to deal with something as apparently as this. Hopefully most of us will survive. We do have the best on the planet to deal with it.

Quit hanging out with fags at gay parades and you lessen your exposure to AIDS.

Gads, that statement is dumb. I mean AOC level dumb. I mean Bette Midler level dumb. I mean, that's Maxine Waters level dumb.

The XFL game in Seattle is going to be played without fans.
But that had nothing to do with the coronavirus.

That’s good. Living in denial is also problematic.

Nope. You showed you have no clue whatsoever how famous diseases spread, and you did it in a braggadocios way, Sheila Jackson Lee.

Back in the 1980’s and 1990’s I knew just a bout every player in the NBA. Right now the only one I can name is Labron James. I don't care about basketball anymore. I don't know why. I know that I used to love it. It was fun. I guess it's because it never ends. As soon as the play offs end, it seems exhibition season is starting. Ending in June and starting in September. I guess it's over saturation. Anyway, the NBA is probably doing the right thing. We don't know a whole lot about this virus, and it's good to err on the side of caution. The thing is when they start back, people may realize they didn't miss it that much, and the NBA will never recover.

Imagine if today we had typhus, typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, and every other disease known to man still endemic in the US.

Or if Chinese-made blankets had smallpox.
