re: The Original NBA suspends the season thread

My logic is to not create fear and hysteria so people don’t crash the healthcare system. It is a virus. All wash your hands, drink fluids, stay home if you get sick same as if you have the flu... No reason to cancel the nba season

You and I happen to sit next to each other at the Pels game. You have a mild cough and some body aches but you took ibuprofen at home and feel fine and didn't want to miss out in the game. I go home and interact with my father who has severe asthma and is currently on a steroid regimen. 1 week later, my dad is intubated in the ICU with severe respiratory failure due to COVID-19. He dies 2 days later. This all likely would have been avoided if the event had been cancelled instead until this global pandemic was under better control. You think it was worth killing my dad so you could go watch the Pels in person? Maybe you killed the person in front of you's grandmother who they visited in the nursing home later that day too. Who knows how many deaths you've led to!
