NBA Season Part 2: Life In The Orlando Bubble

Don’t get me wrong, yeah for most people it probably won’t be that bad. In fact that’s part of the problem, I think we’re learning that a lot of people are actually asymptomatic or such barely affected that they don’t realize they’re sick at all, and meanwhile have spread it to others. Others who it might develop into something more serious or even fatal.

If you’re relatively healthy and not elderly, most likely you won’t too severely affected by this. But there is a chance that you might. And those chances are an order of magnitude higher than chances of getting severely affected by the flu. Maybe the difference between 1% to 3% fatality rate might not sound that bad (don’t quote me on that, I’m not sure if that’s the exact difference). But when you consider this is more contagious to begin with and apply that to the entire population, we’re looking at millions of lives being affected.

So that is to say, don’t panic. But we should take collective action to minimize the impact of this as much as possible.

 

Well, you get 80-90% of your meds from China. U might want to f*** with them at a later date...

 

The panic buying is certainly not helping. I went to a local Trader Joes today and the line wrapped around the corner and the parking lot was jammed. This is insane. How much toilet paper does one need?

 

Not really, what I want to do is put all our resources into changing this with the intent to F them right where the sun don't shine!!! They want a cultural war, let's give them one!! They want a real war, let's give them one!!! I don't want that but I am not afraid of them and refuse to cower in fear to them. F that!! If they want to force us into a corner, let's come out fighting!!

 

I think that you missed the "f*** them window". Whole freakin world is too dependant on them.

 

You can fix things that are broken.

 

You can. But "freeing from china" will take decades... if you start tomorrow.

 

Rumors of 2 week quarantine coming in the next few days. Don’t panic, but nows the time to make sure you’re prepared.

 

So CDC said to not have gatherings of 50+ people for the next 8 weeks. So that means no NBA (at least with no fans) til mid May in a best case scenario if the league is to follow the guidelines.

 

Finish the last 19 games and have the playoffs only be the top 4 from each conference. No 5-8 seed would win it all anyway, so, save yourself the headache. Regular season gets finished in one month, then the playoffs can finish in 6 weeks.

 

just cancel the season

if they resume in late june that means the finals would be played in august. then you shorten the 20-21 season? what a mess

 

ok then, let's start!

 

No way. Need to finish the season.

 

They should also consider reducing the playoff format from 7 games to 5 games, except the Finals.
