This is a bit much. The President's travel bans overseas should be enough for now.

I have much faith that those with the virus will be healed before anybody knows it. The risk, overall, is still low. We just need, as quickly as possible, to get back to life as normal. Don't let the wrong media control your every move.
I tend to agree.

Back to Gobert... player #2 on the Jazz infected. For those that don't know, Mitchell is the best player on the Jazz team.

Jazz stars Mitchell, Gobert test positive; Gobert apologizes

Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz confirmed Thursday that he tested positive for the coronavirus, saying that he is personally dealing with the pandemic that has temporarily shut down the NBA and other major sports leagues.

Later, Jazz teammate Rudy Gobert — the first NBA player to test positive, which prompted the league to suspend the season — also confirmed his status and apologized. “I was careless and make no excuse," Gobert said in an Instagram post.

...
“I have gone through so many emotions since learning of my diagnosis … mostly fear, anxiety, and embarrassment," Gobert wrote. “The first and most important thing is I would like to publicly apologize to the people that I may have endangered. At the time, I had no idea I was even infected."


Interesting... he feels fear, anxiety, and embarrassment... um - does he feel sick? That seems to be missing...

Probably not. Young healthy people are for the most part shrugging this thing off. The death rate is in the old and sick. Death rate >80 years old is 20% or more. For those <50 it's a fraction of 1%.

Well he must have felt sick enough for them to have tested him. They just didn't randomly decide to test him?

It would seem that he would have mentioned it, but he didn't. Fear, anxiety, and embarrassment were the larger points of focus.

Why do you think "midnight basketball" was implemented in the 1990s?
