It will be interesting to see how this administration treats bailouts as compared to Obama. It will either equalize or differentiate. (Yeah, Cats could win or they could lose - same but different).

Again, F globalization / Citizen of the World ******** / etc.

TIA!
Not to get political, but hopefully the majority of “bailout” tax payer money goes towards directly bringing key manufacturing back to the country.

I'll tell you one thing that's jumped out at me lately, old people still want to shake the hell out of everyone's hand they see when they come into my workplace.

Did they test Gobert at the arena? I thought they had to send tests off to a lab or some ****? Curious how they knew so fast he tested positive.

Probably tested him a couple of days ago when that dip **** was making a joke of it and spreading it around.

The next week is about to be wild.

Italy is in an absolute medical crisis. I just hope/pray we don't end up there.

I read that Germany is testing somewhere near 12k people a day and we are testing, on average, 400 a day. Do you feel we are on the same path as Italy at this point?

We’ll see who manipulated the data. I mean, while I still think this will be on par with influenza, I think the containment measures at this point are necessary to get under it and avoid an Italian scenario.

Sucks, but it’s here, an ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure. Gonna be a weird spring. I mean. Keeneland is probably done now too???

I'm an anesthesiologist, not an ID or epidemiology expert, but I read a lot...

In my honest opinion, testing doesn't really matter at this point. It will help divvy up resources and give us ideas of how we're doing, but the goal is prevention. Stop traveling, old people stay at home, cancel elective things, work from home, etc. That's the only way to curtail this. This testing stuff is a bunch of drivel to weaponize politically. The CDC probably screwed this up from the beginning, but before they even knew what was going on it was already spread due to the incubation period.

Italy is in a **** storm because they have one of the world's oldest average populations, and they got behind the 8 ball quick. I'll post the link soon, but they're essentially telling their critical care doctors to triage people and decide who gets their few resources, let the rest (old and sick) die. They pulling retired doctors and nurses back. They're using their operating room ventilators as ICU rooms/beds and cancelling all surgeries.

I have no earthly idea if we're looking at 100 deaths or 1,000,000 deaths, but I do not think that any precautions anyone is taking are over the top. The only way to stop this is containment and prevention. Only way to know if that is going to work, is, well, to touching do it.

There's a ton of people out there who are so mad that this is getting a lot attention, calling people chicken little, etc, and I don't touching get it. I ***HOPE AND PRAY*** that this is overblown. I seriously do.

Because if it's **anywhere** close to what some of the models predict, we're going to be so touched it's not even funny. People you know will die. Parents, grandparents, children. Some of those people won't get the care they need because hospitals will be overcrowded. Heart attacks will get missed. Strokes won't get treatment. Hell, more flu patients will die.

I seriously hope and pray all you touching know it alls who are too cool to get worried about a pandemic are right. Because if you're not some of us are going to be dead.

If Gobert has had the virus 5 days or longer it’s possible it could have been passed to every team in the league.

Counterpoint: people will still congregate in some form -- in one way or another -- so we shouldn't mitigate mass crowds to minimize this highly contagious virus that kills the elderly at an alarming rate. Cancel nothing, politicize this somehow. #goateeselfie #logic
