The cancelations around the sports world continued to mount Wednesday as the number of reported COVID-19 coronavirus cases climbs in the United States. Organizational leaders in athletics have gone from discussing potential moves and making small modifications to being forced by local governments to make bigger judgements, like keeping fans from games.

At a press conference Monday, Gobert attempted to make a point about overreaction and fear by touching everything in sight before he left. He leaned over and touched all of the microphones and recorders.

Sounds like he had the same amount of arrogant bravado displayed by the “nothing-burger” crowd.

This. The downplayers may wind up being more dangerous than anyone else.

Yep! Bet as they are being hooked up to a respirator, they’ll still be saying “but it’s nothing” and “it’s all a conspiracy.”

You can never be too cautious, with the leftist nutjobs threatening to infect conservatives by infiltrating rallies.

Besides, Slow Joe is likely to cancel his own rallies (though nobody knows why Joe should worry about "tens" of spectators).

Reports suggest it may manifest in less than two days. Besides, he may have already been infected.

“It has been officially announced.”

I saw that subsequently.

If you go to a buffet restaurant, be sure to use Kleenex to pick up the tongs. Use a Kleenex to push the elevator button. Maybe gloves will come back into fashion. Use Kleenex to hold the stair railing. Use Kleenex to hold the bathroom doorknob. Use Kleenex to open the office door.

He does have it. But maybe he got it from one of the mics.

Did you actually read the article?

....There’s no reason to believe Gobert has COVID-19....

Enough with the fear mongering/pandering.

Rudy Gobert should be charged for attempted murder and should be kicked out of basketball. You can’t fix stupid but you can get rid of it. He infected one of his teammates and reporters with that microphone stunt.
