re: The Original NBA suspends the season thread

Viruses transmit in different ways. We do not know for certain all the details on this one.

If I rub sanitizer all over my body and you have a virus that is so far asymptomatic and Suddenly happen to sneeze or cough in my vicinity, and I breathe it in, guess what? I’m potentially fricked. And if I brought my 87 year old father, he might be fricked even worse.

Hence why social distancing and minimizing transmission opportunities has to be a component of disease spread prevention once a highly transmissible contagion is confirmed to be spreading within a community.

I don’t know if it is the news you watch or the people you follow, but given the situation it is entirely reasonable to suspend the season and eliminate the potential for highly transmissible situations like a major sporting event.
