By all means though, let’s blame this on Obama too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunter92 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 We have a better chance to die of an ingrown toe nail than this virus. I'm disgusted with our governing bodies and the sheep who follow them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViewFromAfar Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Arkansas just suspended school sports until March 30 and will evaluate at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36gut Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 If no one is allowed at sporting events, what makes anyone think people should be able to stand in long lines at polling stations? IOW, if the contagion of the virus is still evident in the fall, there won't be an election. It would be a threat to public health. There is not enough time to enact the state-by-state legislation to be able to implement mail-in balloting in all states. Only a handful of states conduct elections by mail at this point.

BlahBlah Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I know we cant get Corona testing kits in rural Texas counties. So we really don't know how many people have or have died from it. Europeans and Asians have kits, and are handing them out like candy in their countries. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 As a healthcare worker (Emergency room)……. I totally understand why they are cancelling these events. The risk/reward is too great. All we would need is ONE player...coach....fan.... to get infected and die.... and people would be questioning why the even wasn't postponed or cancelled. It's lose/lose from the PR standpoint either way. But from the healthcare standpoint.... it makes sense not possibly creating mass exposures. Cancelling will no doubt put less people at risk of exposure. But I also can't deny that the media hasn't fanned the flames of hysteria. The amount of misinformation out there is unreal. I'm one of the biggest sports fans out there. I'm gutted that March Madness won't be played. Sad about MLB and NBA. But I can't deny.....as a healthcare worker.... that cancelling/postponing is just the smartest and safest thing to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re two pigs that eat from the same trough. Trump is hated by the Democrats and hated even more by establishment Republicans. That’s why I like him so much. Hope people wise up and get out to vote him in for another 4 years. Funny how they all questioned his mental state and then put a guy suffering from signs of dementia on their ticket. Sickening. so what are you going to say when Trump and Hilary are friends again after he's out of office? Politics is a show. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Whistling past the graveyard is the phrase that comes to mind. Seriously, just follow the money. Do you really think major-league baseball the NCAA tournament, NBA basketball would all give up millions of dollars in revenue over an overreaction to this virus? You think they’re stupid? Follow the money. Mav is absolutely correct. I have read all of the statistics and all the math involved with how this thing spreads. You can say oh it’s just the flu but tell that to the 70 year old with CPD who gets it. Risk / reward can’t even be calculated. Are people overreacting? Of course, that’s human nature. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darktower Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 amazes me how people can actually claim this is political--Use just a little common sense--The entire worlds economy is going to hell. Italy has shut their entire country down. No school, no colleges, no business, and everybody in lockdown. And you believe they are doing this to change our election. That is absolutely the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Nobody in Italy gives a rats …. who wins our election Are we over reacting? Yes!! Wild panic as people get in fist fights in Walmart over toilet paper, media causing a lot of the panic but to think the Democrats, the media or anybody else has created a worldwide panic is ridiculous --Too many of you have some kind of God complex with Trump if you think he is that important to anybody in other countries--They really don't care 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Most definitely over reaction. And the media is absolutely to blame for some of this hysteria. People have lost their minds. But a simple understanding of virology, transmission, and the unknown of how long, how many, and how severe this thing can go makes these cancellations and postponements the only choice. All it would take is ONE death of a high school student for it to be rendered a bad decision to play on. No school wants that on their hands. No team. No sport. The UIL most definitely not. Sure.... MOST people will recover quickly with little more than an inconvenience. Unfortunately......there is absolutely no way of predicting which HEALTHY patients could be that tiny percent that die. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
