Will you change your mind about this virus if Trump tests positive???? Or Pence? They were both with someone who has tested positive.

Why are you apparently cheering for this RummyChick? Beginning to think you are a never Trumper... but to cheer for him and Pence to catch a serious virus?

The Big 12 didn’t cancel, just limited attendance to essential personnel plus 125 fan tickets per team. Tip off in 30 minutes,

What an idiotic statement.

I am terrified they will get it and have been saying for some time that need to have a plan of action.

I dont want Pelosi anywhere near the WH position even if it is only temporary

Not idiotic at all. You’re slipping into irrational hysteria. He never said anything about Trump. He called the SEC idiots (which they are - for many reasons other than the virus). YOU brought Trump and Pence into this and asked if he would change his mind on the virus if they caught it. You created that line of conversation from whole cloth, not based on anything the poster said. You’re moving into crazy land on this.

Other conferences are finding reasonable compromises to cancelling - such as limiting those allowed in to families. Chill out.

The NCAA tournament needs to be canceled or put on hiatus.

At least one conference cares about the players. Now if one is talking about spring football that is a different story in SEC Country.

Last night the SEC said they’d play, just with limited staff and families attending. Today they cancelled. I wonder if most of the visitors to Nashville will go home or just visit the bars etc downtown?

I don’t see how the NCAA tournament can go on. You still need some people at the arenas, even if there are no fans there, will they even bother?

HE is calling them idiots for canceling a sporting event.

Why are then canceling it.

The Virus

I want to know if his outlook changes if Trump gets the virus It is a valid question

If you continue to think the virus is no big deal then that is your opinion

But I am terrified of Pelosi. And I am not going to change my opinion based on your idiotic post

I saw one of the early ACC tournament games on TV yesterday, and it looked like the stands were only about one-sixth full. I think the conference commissioners are taking their cue from the fans.

The big picture here this is just a virus virus is always have the same exact pattern soon as we get in the spring time and summer it’s going to drop off the radar no matter what

they cannot survive the heat

Furthermore I’m gonna keep saying until I’m blue in the face that colloidal silver kills all viruses and bacteria and it’s in 20,000 medical products because the FDA the NIH know that it works and is an incredible bactericide
