The 2019-2020 Around the NBA thread

Does anyone have video of Gobert making fun of people panicking about the Coronavirus and then purposefully touching all the microphones? Apparently that really happened. And he has it! The freaking ******** has it!

From what I have read and heard the novel corona virus is said to be 10 times more likely to kill than the ordinary flu virus. Apparently this virus doesn't attack the young as hard as it does the old with preexisting conditions.

My dad is just finishing chemo right now. This is a real thing for me.

That jack hole still hasn’t come forward with a profuse apology?!? Shameful.

My dad is just finishing chemo right now. This is a real thing for me.

Our mom is in chemo and her cancer is in her lung and heart. She’s spent unplanned weeks at mayo with her numbers dropping after each chemo treatment for three months now. VERY VERY real for cheese and me. Just had to have a very blunt conversation her and our pop about self quarantining right now.

Thoughts are with you and your family bud.

Ouchie and Cheese, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom.

I suspect the novel corona virus impacts almost every family or friends in some way. It sounds like this country is finally waking up to this.

This could be Vince Carter's final NBA play. He's the oldest player in the league now at 43 years old and is in his 22nd NBA season. Kind of crazy he made it that long.

I remember when he was younger and Barkley would call him "Half-Man/Half-a-Season" as a play on his "Half-Man/Half-Amazing" nickname. He did play for the Suns back during the 2010-11 season.

No love lost, Carter never was a Sun. He was never as engaged as he should have been.

Ugh, that sucks, very sorry to hear this. My father-in-law is 85 and in a skilled nursing facility, and my wife is thinking that she probably shouldn't visit him.

It looks like Chuck might have it, he's self quarantining while awaiting test results.

 

[gimpy]

Chuck?

 

[AzStevenCal]

Chuck?

Sorry, and I usually hate it when someone uses a nickname or initials without full detail. I was talking about Charles Barkley.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ouchie and Cheese, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom.

Thx BC. We’ve been pretty private about it. But what’s going on now makes it all the more alarming.

I keep telling myself that I'm retired. I can control exposure. But it is still a matter of chance.

For example, I found out that the air that exhausts from my apartment air conditioning and heat doesn't
go into the air, but back into other apartments within my cluster. Staying home doesn't protect me?!?

And, with an overactive immune system that attacks various internal parts of my body, I never know
what to expect. Especially hearing over and over that senior citizens are at the most risk. And I just
turned 79.

I'm not in the situation of your Mom, so I'll protect myself the best I can. In my case, curtailing eating
out, whether Asian or Italian or pizza or gourmet burger or even fast food, is what bothers me the most.

But I feel for the people everywhere who are suffering.

I shouldn't say this . . . but I couldn't help but wonder if China is behind this as a way to punish the rest
of the world while controlling their extremely high population. After all, Russia controls our elections.

I think you rest a little easy regarding your ductwork because it’s really supposed be a six foot distance for air transmittal. I don’t think it’s supposed to carry very far. More importantly deter to minimize what you’re touching around the common areas of your apartment (door handles, handrails, mailboxes, elevator buttons, etc. ) wash your hands as soon as you get back into your apartment.

Seeing someone like Zion step up and make a pledge like this shows the kid has a good head on his shoulders. It should be the team owners doing this but that it's being done by players is very cool.

Mine with you too. The good news is that his most recent tests came back clean. We are thrilled about that. Doctors were giving him a 50-50 chance when we started. He will have one more treatment as a precaution, but his immune system is severely compromised right now. It would be horrible to get clear of the cancer and then have a real problem from a virus.

Holy cow that’s awesome! Just keep him seriously sequestered. Happy for you and your family!

It's been 6 days since Charles Barkley announced he wasn't feeling well and was awaiting test results and still no word as far as I can tell. I'm trying not to read too much into that but 16 hours a day of Covid-19 TV has me seeing viruses in my sleep. Anyway, hope all is well with Chuck.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Good news on the Barkley front. He announced today that his test result for Covid-19 was negative.

 

[95pro]

how did the POTUS get his results in less than 24 hours?
