More people have died of the flu this year than the covoid-19. This is purely propaganda from the media making this out to be as big as ebola. its crazy. Yes we need to take precautions but they are slowly shutting down all daily life because of something that doesn't even have as high of a death rate than the flu.
There is so much dumb in this post, I don’t know where to start. Almost every word is wrong

Yeah, the NCAA lost millions that will never be recouped just to destroy the economy.

We truly are living in the post-truth era.
COVID-19 is almost twice as contagious as the flu and the mortality rate is at least 10x and as much as 30x that of the flu. It hasn’t killed as many yet only because it’s only been in our country for a few weeks.
The NCAA shut everything down over PLAYER safety after the virus already has spread on one NBA team.

This has to be one of the dumbest things I continue to see posted. Y’all are absolute morons.

I don’t think any of us know if there’s an overreaction simply because we don’t know how all this will play out honestly. Anybody saying different isn’t being honest.
No doubt about it! Don’t you love of the “know it all” and “matter of fact” attitudes of all the Joe Blows everywhere? It’s quite comical.

They are doing it to prevent spikes of the virus so health care systems dont get over run with patients. It's called being proactive.

Does Chicken have a beef (intended) with Moscona?
Weird that my thread supporting his position got whacked.

Your thread probably got whacked because you were advocating that people should trust a sports radio host in Baton Rouge instead of actual experts.

Get ahead of the spread. That simple. We don’t want to be Italy or China.
Health is far more important than a sport.

So you don't know anything either or you would have posted it.

You have fallen for the media trap. Yes, it is 10X more deadly than the flu, but the mortality rate for it is still only 1%-3%. How can that be when it’s 10X deadlier than the flu? Because the death rate for the flu is less than one percent. See how a factual number can be sensationalized to make it look far worse than it really is?

3% mortality is huge. Yes, you cancel a sporting event with mortality rates that high. FFS, schools temporarily close over measles outbreaks.Posted on 3/13/20 at 10:12 am to MontanaTiger

But you’ve fallen into another trap. While 1-3% doesn’t sound bad (and it’s not if you were only talking 1-3% of say, 1million people) it is bad when you realize that with how contagious this virus is, if left unchecked, over half the population of the United States will contract it. Do the math. There are roughly 350million people in the United States. If half those people get it, that’s over 150million people who would get it THIS YEAR. Now take 1-3% of 150million. That’s how many deaths you are looking at in the United States alone. That’s 1 to 3 million people in a year and that’s actually a low side figure. We aren’t sure if once a person has had this if they are just as susceptible to it again.

Even if it is 3%, which you conveniently took as the actual rate when it is the upper limit of the estimated rate, huge compared to what? That would mean that 97% of those infected won’t die. And the vast majority of mortalities are in the very old and frail. Why doesn’t the media present the data as “the survival rate for covid-19 is at least 97%”? They don’t do that because it sounds a lot less scary.

The media is absolutely acknowledging that it’s worse on the elderly and those who are already sick. Are you saying we shouldn’t do everything possible to prevent THOSE people from dying? What kind of monster are you?

1% is huge, you dolt. The average person that contracts COVID-19 infects 2.2 other people. By comparison, the flu is 1.3x. Cases are multiplying daily, the last update I saw has Louisiana at 33 and our first case was this week. It'll be in the hundreds before the weekend and thousands soon after that.
You not caring if 1% of the people die so that you can watch basketball is a sad commentary.

Why did it go from playing without fans to not playing at all so fast?
because athletes started testing positive.
The number of cases is starting to increase rapidly. There were 70 total on March 1st and now we're up to around 2,000. Those 2,000 were likely contagious for days before they tested positive so that 2,000 will turn in to 5-10k in a week.
