Wow. How does one even respond to such a post? The virus has nothing to do with politics. It is a worldwide problem we all have to deal with, regardless of your political affiliation.

Crazy they let fans in everywhere today and tomorrow shutting it down. This is nuts. This is sad.
Maybe not but there’s plenty of liberal twitter pushers who want Trump removed under the 25th amendment because of this outbreak like anyone else could do better. The left really will use any excuse they can to get him impeached or not re-elected.
I’m not making this political but it’s been proven over four years that the Dems will never credit the president, work with him, and use anything they can to hurt him. I’ve never seen another president in my lifetime who dealt with a worse Congress and media.

I’m fully aware. Blaming a politician for an epidemic is as dumb as blaming a president for gas prices. I’m also aware the “right” will use any excuse they can to ensure he’s re-elected and every action regardless of whether it’s good or bad is praised and excused.
Politics are just team sports with a bunch of ******** and no ball. The team in charge plays defense by accusing the other team of underhanded tactics and the team wanting to be in charge keeps taking shots from all over the court by any means necessary.
This same thing happened with Clinton vs right; Bush II vs left; Obama vs. right; Trump vs left. It’s been like this for a while and it sadly keeps getting worse each cycle.
I’ve never seen a president have to deal with more crap than this one is the main point. You are correct overall that parties use what they can for gain though.
Threads like this are great at determining who is on the left or right on this forum....
I think there is zero chance fans will be allowed in after tonight. Big 10 and Big 12 have already made the decision. No way SEC sticks their neck out now.
Didn't congress just allocate him far more money for this outbreak than what he had even requested? Sounds like they are going beyond to work with him when they can.
If you honestly think no president has had it worse, you are either very young or have been living with blinders on. Every president in the last 40 years has had it worse than Trump. Republicans and Democrats.
Congressional leaders were trying for weeks to get the president to actually acknowledge it was happening and then ramp up the precautionary steps to try to avoid the mess we are in now. He refused. I don't even have that much of an issue with Trump, but the ball was dropped big time on this.
I am not a fan of his and I actually agree with you. to an extent. The guys who were assassinated had it worse. (To be fair, I thought he was a shady POS con man when he was a liberal NYC Democrat in the 80s, 90s and 00s.)
My guess is it will only get worse for the next president. And worse than that for the president after that. The social media age has ruined civility and enabled the rapid spread of false information (BOTH ways). The worms won’t go back in the can.

I dislike the Dems as much as anyone but come on. Twelve bazillion Chinese should tell you this is real. If you don’t think it is go to the free clinic and get sneezed on for a few weeks. Bet you won’t do it.

It's crazy that the media has been working with 110 countries around the world to try and take down President Trump. I mean, we could expect Iran and China to sacrifice their citizens to accomplish that but I didn't think Italy would. Or Scandinavia too. /S
Get over yourself if you think this virus has anything to do with our president. That's incredibly self-centered.
Glad to see someone still has some sense on this board.
Some on here likely believed the Sandy Hook shooting never happened.Sadly politics on both sides blind people to the truth.
Most of those hotel rooms are not refundable now, at this point, so the fans are still going, they just won't be in the arena. May actually be better for local business in the end. Fans will be in the restaurants and bars instead
With all due respect, are you mental?
I’m not trying to talk abortion on a basketball board. I just find it insane to believe the only good political opponent is a dead one.
That’s on the same ideological plane as those Muslims you probably hate. Don’t be like them.
Ugh. Damn this virus. For all the people it has killed and the economic/political/quality of life upheaval its brought.
Vaccine can’t come soon enough.

He was trying to prevent any further panic. The chicken littles love to have doomsday material to talk about in the banks and grocery stores. You seem upset that he didn't pull out a megaphone and yell that the world is ending.
I love my basketball but health has to come first.Instead of the silly fighting over politics we should be hoping this doesn't get worse.It's worse for older folks and I'm worried about my mom and other older people.I've been buying food and picking up meds for
elderly neighbors so they don't have to get out.I wish more people would think of this.

Last flu season the CDC said 34,000 people died in the US. The prior flu season the number was 61,000. US Coronavirus deaths are about 33...banning spectators wasn’t even a consideration in either of those years. Should people take precautions if they’re at risk of most any infectious disease? Yes they should, but to play games before zero people isn’t the answer. Everyone will just watch at a bar, with a crowd, and the end resulting effect of the change will be similar to the number of attendees...zero.
Showing endless pics of empty arenas will produce more shocking news coverage than shutting down the Wagon Wheel.
My wife blamed me tonight for voting for trump because her mom lost money in the stock market today because of his, “lack of response to this virus”. I mean this went from me asking her a question about my daughter’s work schedule to her shouting at me to admit trump is to blame. Lol.
That's not an answer, but par for the course from what I've seen from you. Good riddance.
