How many cases were there in Italy 2 weeks ago?
Do you understand what happens in a first-world medical system when hospitals are overrun? In Milan, if you are over 65, or have any co-morbid condition at any age (diabetes, heart disease, etc) you are put on the "sorry, we can help you, you are going to die" side of the triage to save ICU bets and machines for healthy young people. This is why Italy's death rate is exploding.
Italy today is the USA next few weeks.
All I can say is WOW.
Do you think there is something magically different between the USA and northern Italy, other than a few weeks head start?
Sheesh..
How about oldsters And immune compromised not go, and avoid younger folk till this passes? I am both, and think cancelling these things like this is a bit much.
Four.
I do understand that the virus in Italy is hitting the elderly mostly and that Italy’s health system is being overrun.
Stop with the dramatics. Why are you just citing Italy? Why are you not citing places that have contained the spread much better with few deaths? Why aren’t you citing Australia who had cases very early on but are only at 128 with only 3 deaths? Because you are a doom merchant.
Ohio has 3 or 4 cases, no deaths, and we’re going to shut down the NCAA tournament there?
Virtue signaling at its finest and you doom merchants eat it up.
Absolutely.
I said it before and I’ll say it again...I think some who are posting doom on FR are selling short in the markets.
no reason, then, to hold those games in Ohio. Can be held on campus sites.
Yeah, I suspect that as well, think you may be on to something. Although the conspiracy theory group would eat this stuff up anyway, so that probably accounts for some of them.
Geez man, not everything is about Trump. DId the entire country of Italy close down because of Trump?
That didn't take long. When Goldman Sachs came out and said we'd go from 8-10% growth to 0% growth I thought that was serious. Now i'm thinking the media will drive negative growth. losses.
No fans at ANY NCAA Tournament Games, that’s the Men’s and Women’s Tournaments.
Has anyone restricted your movement? Closing an arena does not “restrict your movement”.
DeWine is now crazier than Clueless Joe Biden
Not just Ohio anymore. The whole tournament now.
We need to cancel the election, voting places are too congested. Let’s give Trump a few more years until this blows over.
Yep, too much of a risk going to vote, you could die from Wuhan virus.
It takes away a decision.
