Be smart, remember take care of yourselves, and practice good hygiene, life will go on after this.
That being said there is no reason that we cannot talk about basketball while we are waiting this all out.
What happens when the league comes back? Does the league finish out the season? Do teams try to stay together after going through this together? Is there more team loyalty? How bad does this hurt the salary cap?

I had the bird flu. I was isolated in a clinic in Cherry Creek where they put me in a room with a large overhead air conditioner designed to cool me down. Had to be taken there in a wheelchair daily for weeks. Almost died. Caught from a client who had just arrived from Vietnam. The CDC did the contact search.
One the good side, I didn't catch a cold or another flu virus for almost 20 years (but perhaps that was luck}.
A cornavirus is a different beast entirely in that it passes from asymptomatic carriers. I can't see how they can reopen this NBA season until they get this virus under better control. Everything else is too speculative except a lot of money is going to be lost.

I have felt that they overreacted badly to it, and as the numbers are coming out from the studies in California and New York it appears to be that way.
That being said they had to shut down the NBA when they did as there just was not enough information out there at the time. That being said I think it is past time to reopen things with some minor precautions including the NBA.
Adam Silver informed the NBA's Board of Governors that July 31st is a target date for the return of the 19-20 season.
It has been previously reported that the NBA was targeting mid-July for the resumption of the season.
The NBA will almost certainly play the remaining games of the season in a bubble environment at Disney World in Orlando.

Well, he never actually PLAYED with a player, he watched a game...pretty big difference in contact exposure.
