The problem is players are starting to be diagnosed. The Utah Jazz player has played in 3 stadiums/locker rooms shared with hockey teams in the last 10 days. Detroit, Boston and Toronto.

Not how this works. He can still be contagious to others while not showing symptoms and he had already spread it to a 2nd Utah Jazz player.

Who cares? I doubt he's the only one who would pop for covid if they tested the entire NBA roster tomorrow, because healthy young adults either never show symptoms or show mild short-lived symptoms like Gobert did. Saying they shouldn't even play for empty arenas is like saying that nobody anywhere in the entire country should go to work because of the virus.

It's not even so much the young players, but the chance of exposing people with compromised immune systems, etc to the virus. Honestly all of us under 40 could not give a fuck about it, but for older people and people with the compromised immune systems it's something that could be life or death.

Yes. I remember the death tolls caused by Jordan’s flu game and Magic’s HIV All-Star game. The NBA learned some valuable lessons from all that carnage

All of civilization was wiped out by the NBA's recklessness and this is just a dream.

If only either of these comparisons were worth a damn, this comment might mean something.

lethality rate is much higher than the flu, and obviously the way HIV spreads versus this is just laughable to compare. I don't disagree about the whole "hysteria" being slightly over the top, but just being like "lul Jordan didn't kill peeps with the flu game" is dumb man.

Sigh, assuming they're going to follow the NBA and shitcan the rest of the regular season. Which as a Lightning fan is definitely NOT a bad thing, they've been kicked in the dick pretty hard by injuries. McDonagh, Stamkos, Hedman have all missed multiple games recently, with Stamkos still expected to miss another month+ . Kinda need those three healthy for a playoff push.

Corona lethality is no different than any other form of pneumonia. Your just spouting ignorant fake news because you bought into the hysteria

It's pretty much a forgone conclusion that they are going to suspend the season. I would expect MLB to delay the regular season as well. As far as what to do when it returns I guess it depends how long the delay is. If it's only a couple of weeks the NHL will probably just resume. But if it goes longer (say a month) maybe just start the playoffs. Longer than that and I think they cancel the season outright.
