    The problem is people get infected at different times. So it's challenging to be sure no one is still contagious.

    As others have pointed out, the main risk for young healthy people is not death, but long-term side effects. For example, Rudy Gobert still hasn't regained his sense of smell. That could be permanent.

    Co-vi has not been proven to directly attack the brain (it has not been found in brain fluid). Regarding the few patients with CNS complications ---Researchers believe the complications are indirectly triggered by an immune response from the patient's body, not from the co-vi itself.

    Different people react in different ways to co-vi and it is possible that CNS effects will be negligible.

    But to your point - for sure - this is not to be taken lightly - especially for the elderly/obese/diabetic/cancer patients etc.

    Other than the Slim Jimmy news, no interviews, no reporting....

    No comments on Bubble, the virus, BLM and other topics.

    Just Austin, MDA doing the speaking.

    It is so irresponsible for people to wave this virus away at this point. We just don't know enough to confidently speak of the long term effects.

    So when Harden doesn’t arrive to the bubble with the rest of the squad today we know why.

    Please stop the politics, I come here for hoops to get away from the garbage. If I wanted this I'd just open up Facebook.

    Have you heard anything on the league adjusting the luxury tax line for next year? I know that is something a number of owners have pushed

    just like any other time in harden's career. hes never been involved in this type of stuff ever but then people want to make the usual assumptions of why he wasn't doing this or that. Like i said before harden does him and keeps it moving whether you like it or not

    Yep, there is still a lot that is not known yet. What we do know is that it is not "just a flu." Those who perpetrate this myth should just shut up.

    The kinds of corona virus that cause flu attack only the upper respiratory system. The three other known kinds, SARS, MERS, and COVID, on the other hand, infect deep in the lung and attack the immune system. These are known facts. That's why these coronaviruses have much higher hospitalization and mortality rates than the flu. But unlike SARS and MERS, COVID is contagious before the symptoms show. That's why it is so hard to contain without quick-result testing widely available, and especially without everybody cooperating.

    That's why after I had been informed, I changed from saying, "Don't overreact!" to "Don't be stupid! Be responsible!"

    But but but if teams are providing separation how will Harden be fouled and be able to score. He will become a shitty role player now since no one will want to foul him. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Well, the new rule under social distancing guideline is that if you get within 6 ft of him, it's a foul. And Harden better watch out. Coughing while dribbling can be an offensive foul.
