    if more people were vaccinated, we could treat it more like the flu because its impact would be more like the flu.

    to me, this is the really interesting part of the pandemic's impact. people talk about the michael jordan flu game, and post-pandemic, i'm like--man, did he give that to everyone on the floor? i'd be pissed!

    i used to pride myself on basically never missing work because i wasn't thinking about the fact that i might be making everyone sick.

    obviously, there's a point at which you can become overconcerned, but i'd say american society (myself included) has generally erred on the side of underconcern.

    anyway, in this case, the league's policies are clear, and if you don't want to miss time, you need to be actively minimizing exposure risk. i'm guessing lebron wasn't, and now he gets to try and win his next title from the 6th seed.

    Frankly, I would be too. I don't want someone with the flu breathe in my face , sweating all over me. Come on, man.

    Right? If AD has a flu, I am telling him to go home and get better. Or risk half my team getting sick

    of course, i never said it's the same as the flu. but at some point that's how it'll be. this virus isn't going away

    could've already been happening if enough people were vaccinated though

    I think it came out that it was not the flu game but the bad food game. From the Last Dance; Jordan got late night (i.e. 3am) pizza delivered and didn't feel good GI was after that.

    Upon review, it was determined that Covid flopped. Does Dwight still start?


    Alright, let's get healthy now with a full squad, showing us what we can do with Ariza and Kendrick Dunn in the mix. Cut back on the big 3's minutes.

    Wonder if ESPN regrets pulling the plug on the game before that was decided.

    False positives for the win! Finally have a good feeling about playing the Clips for first time in years. And Dwight plus AD >>>>>>> Zubac and whomever (?) this year.

    I say all of this is BS. The fear mongering over this is worse then the disease itself. Do we fear monger over cancer and heart disease? There were more deaths by both of these conditions in 2020 than Covid. Just add another thing to the list of things that can kill you!! How many people really make changes to their lives, unless they have direct correlations, to avoid death by heart disease or cancer? There are a ton of things you can do to decrease the odds of these types of things killing you. How many of us do anything??

    Look, I am fully vaccinated, even had the booster. I do this because I have a low grade type II diabetes and my wife works in the medical field, plus I am getting up there in age and am in a vulnerable group. But I still hate the fear mongering and mandates our government is putting on us.

    I am not sure how Lebron relates to all this but he stands on the precipice of losing his ability to make a living in his profession and he ought to be concerned. I know this is political and you all can remove it if you want, but this is effecting everyone and everything and has an awful lot to do with sports in todays world. Fact is, if we are going to continue down this path, we might as well abolish all team sports because they are all way too in demand socially and in too close of contact according to everything being told to us.

    I am officially sick of it all.
