So with the coronavirus taking over and the school year In question if the season gets canceled will any of the freshmen ever play at Kentucky?
Next season
- Thread starter Kywildcat_nation28
- Start date
Lets wait and see what the heat does to this menace...
If its still “taking over” in August then ask this question.
Its still early May bru...
UK plans to be open for the fall semester.
Season will not be cancelled.
Universities are already doing everything they can to ensure the football season is saved. They don't want to lose that TV revenue. And they're OK to sacrifice health concerns for $$. SO, if football is going to be played, then basketball will be too.

not sure why any athlete would take the risk and play. especially ones with a real professional future. apartments, nursing homes, processing plants...any close quarters situations are breeding grounds for this. much like gyms, workout rooms. and with the potential for long term lung damage...is it really worth it? of course fans will say yes....many depend on sports like they depend on oxygen. but i would have 2nd thoughts if i was someone like boston or clarke.
Because they are 18-19-20 year old kids in peak physical conditions. They likely have a 99.9% survival rate IF they catch it.
Better chance of being killed in a car wreck.
How are those 15-20 NBA players who had it faring?
Actually it’s more like 99.999
Football season has a greater chance being delayed than Basketball. I think worst case fall semester starts with students on campus and lots of changes maybe most lectures online to start and there’s a chance they play without fans but things are slowly opening up so it’s going to be a lot different in November
I am more worried about shutting down things again in December/January at the first sign of a second wave. Season will probably start as planned.
99.99% of those athletes wouldnt even feel symptoms yet alone die. The Ymca senior league is a different conversation tho
It took over Ft. Lauderdale and Miami Florida in March when the average high temperature is 80 degrees.
Don't listen to King Covid (Trump) when he says it will magically disappear in warm weather….
listen to the scientists.

Do you wear a mask while driving your car? Be honest
Obese people do not handle the coronavirus very well. There are some very obese lineman in college football. If any college athlete gets sick from the virus, that would be the kids I would be concerned with.
Is that a mask, briefs or panties? [laughing]yes. am I doing it right?

I wasn’t gonna post that. Thought I had deleted it. I wouldn’t bet on it, but wouldn’t bet against it, either.
Bj Boston seems to think they will be on Campus the 1st or 2nd week of July. He has an interview up on KSR.
Even if the season is played, we're going to have this Covid thing hanging over our heads all season.
I can hear it now, so and so has tested positive for Covid and the team and Staff will be quarantined for minimum of 2 weeks.
Then you will have the teams they play against thinking, "we don't want to play against this sick bunch" Lol I just don't know how it's going to go.
Covid-19 is no doubt real but it's also a political agenda to something else. We just don't know what yet. It makes no sense as to why they've shut down the Country over a virus that doesn't have no where near the outcome that the seasonal Flu has.

Covid also currently has a 1.3% mortality rate. That is TEN TIMES higher than the flu.
I still can't fathom that folks are still comparing CV-19 to the flu.....

Worse case scenario
If a second wave hits and the season is delayed or cancelled, then that likely means the NBA hasn’t played any either. So all these guys that just left haven’t even played. Gonna be a backlog of new players looks to me like.

Does it?
That is the big question right now.
Some reports have said that deaths have been over reported due to people testing positive and then dying of “complications” which were just other pre-existing medical conditions.
Some report that the rate is probably less than 1%.
Even if you discard that as “agenda biased” info, there is the fact that lots of people have not been tested that have had it.
Just in my family, I have this example: my 2nd cousin(30’s) tested positive (worked at the nursing home) and brought it home to his grandparents(late 70’s) and uncle(50). They never went to the doctor and never were tested. They have all recovered. Of those four, only one was confirmed and only one recovered(officially). Another of my cousin’s wife had it and brought it home to him. He recovered without going to the doctor or being tested. So that’s another unconfirmed case with a recovery.
It is a serious and dangerous disease, but the data is flawed, IMHO.
Still, the danger to certain groups like the elderly is enough to take it seriously and to practice safe measures (masks, gloves, social distancing).
I just question how deadly it really is?
We really don’t know, it’s all estimated based on this or that.
I am definitely taking it seriously (been pretty much nowhere for two months), but I just wonder if some media is trying to scare others who are not taking it seriously.
And I am not saying one side is right or wrong, just questioning the data.
with 80,000 dead, it would rank as the 7th leading cause of death in 2017....in just 10 weeks. by the end of the summer it will be 4th or 5th on that list.
The death rate is no where near that 80,000 it has been proven by a lot of Dr's that if someone came into the hospital and died of cancer it was put on their death cert. as the coronavirus that they died from.
.
Funny, Fauci said today that number is nearly 50% higher than the 80K confirmed. Face it folks, its a dangerous time.
I guess it depends on which side you want to listen to.
I don’t trust either side.
I do know it’s a dangerous disease, but I also know that some leaders/media are using scare tactics to try to control the population. Every news story is about some new complication that “might” be linked to CV-19.
Then the other side tries to tell you it’s not that bad, a little more dangerous than the flu. I don’t buy that either.
It stands to reason that there have been a lot more people that have had it than have been confirmed. Many have been asymptomatic and some have recovered with rest. Even if some have died without us knowing they had it, a lot more have had it and recovered without us having known about it.
Now even if the death rate is 2% or lower, it’s still a really serious matter. Every life matters.

Where I live we are going to play football. What the rest of you do is up to you. The SEC will be ready for kickoff, I hope Kentucky is
