Fred Hoiberg at Conference Tourney

JFC ,in today's climate, if you aren't feeling well you turn it over to the assistant - preferably the one who planned ahead with hand sanitizer

but to be fair, that team was going to be quarantined the moment he said he wasn't feeling well.
 
Why assume it’s Corona? He’s also had 2 open heart surgeries. Could be anything.

We're not assuming it is.

But, bottom line, with what's going on right now, if you feel sick before the game, regardless of whether you know the reason or not, you should not be going out there. We're dealing with a brand new virus that is extremely contagious, this ain't the time to be rolling the dice exposing your fever to thousands of people.

When is a good time to expose yourself to thousands of people? Asking for a friend
 
Common cold does not hit you like that. I've never heard anyone compare the flu to the common cold. Do they even know for sure it is not covid-19? Hasn't there been issues with testing where it didn't show up positive and later did? Maybe that was before symptoms showed up. Regardless, with a fever he should have been nowhere near the team and the court.

I think you can pretty much guarantee they gave him a flu test before considering a Coronavirus test, as the test is widely available and you get results in minutes.
 
I'm not a doctor, but do have a master's degree in nursing and work frontline acute care. Some of the stuff I read in these threads makes me shake my head in confusion in regards to microbiology, anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and biology. Some of you all are dramatically underestimating the seriousness of the situation as a whole. Make no mistake, the virus WILL SWEEP THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES.

FYI for those arguing the US should have been testing everyone for days like South Korea. Apples to oranges. Population of South Korea is approx. 51 million in a very small geographical area. The US has around 330 million people scattered over a very large and mostly rural area. You think it's going to be easy to test people in the hills of east KY, Texas prairies or Florida swamps?
 
I’m just waiting for the dead to start coming back to life as zombies at this point. I need to group up with some of my BBN brethren who have been stockpiling on guns for years.
 
At present, we do not have enough kits for wide range testing. This is not a political post, just fact.

And this is the ridiculous part.... they're testing thousands here already. Italy has tested tens of thousands. China over 50k. Over 120k have been tested worldwide, it's been reported.

Where did they get all of the kits from to test over 100k, and if they did actually test that many for this specific virus, they had to have put the making of test kits into mass production, so why aren't there enough kits?

This is really screwy

The people in remote places aren't likely to have it unless they're being sprayed with it by planes.
 
The tests are incredible. They're the best tests. No tests have ever been like them before.

They are the Christy Brinkley of tests (adjusted forward for the present (oh wait, she looks the same...) day) so when you see them, you'll know they've been seen.
 
Well, I'm not trying to turn this political, but you do realize our health care system is what makes it so much more difficult to do that here than in other countries?

It's easy for countries with national heath care systems to decide they're gonna test everyone and get the situation under control. But it's a lot harder under our system, because not many folks are doing it unless they know they ain't getting stuck with the bill.

Yep and I haven't heard what the cost is for ONE of these tests. Anyone else heard?

well let me tell you I’m one of those rare types with higher education that preps, owns weapons, and is ready for whatever goes down. Mine will be one of the last.

I can carry my own weight. Have good leadership skills. Wanna start our own colony? I have a few guns but I haven’t stockpiled like we need to in order to take down the walkers. I guess Ill need to pick up a crossbow on my way.
 
How about the Corona Confederacy?
I like it! There’s gonna be some real money making opportunities with t-shirt designs from
all this. We’ll all handcraft T-shirt’s to sell on the side of the road with our gas masks on, stockpile on guns, ammo, supplies, and money, and then go on a psychedelic acid trip like Timothy Leary. The LSD will inspire new, creative t-shirt designs, we’ll stockpile enough money to buy enough lawyers to succeed from the state, and wahh la... the corona confederacy is born.

They make them. This is the alarming thing and should serve as a wakeup call to our government. Current admin has been pushing it, but we need manufacturing in the US. We are a service country and that needs to change.

Some ridiculous percentage of acute Rx is made in China.

I read on another board that he looked good in the pregame. If that is true, and he suddenly got sick, it would point to a food illness.
I’m ok with taking precautions, but people seem to be jumping to conclusions.

Yep , Everyone that sneezes , farts , hiccups , clears their throat , or appears ill definitely 100% has corona virus . Fear is crippling us .
 
I thought The Donald said there were plenty of tests and the tests were beautiful?
Maybe he lied. I know that sounds ridiculous but I am beginning to think our honest, stable genius of a president simply lied. It is time for leadership, leadership that can be trusted . When America looks for that leadership, we all find its smoke. Nothing of substance.

Go back to CNN and MSNBC I am sure they can give you the truth from Schiff, Shumer, Pelosi and your dementia candidate Biden.

Maybe not , but if truth is what you want, Trump is the last place you would look. Even supporters like you are aware of his problems in giving accurate info. He has an opportunity to show real leadership during this troubling time. If his past is an indication, I think people will look elsewhere for truth and leadership. jmo

it is evident you have no concept of what truth is by believing in the Russian Hoax and Hillary did not commit crimes.
