One thing that's concerning to me is that the turnaround time for testing in Wisconsin is still several days because they're being sent to the state lab. Hospitals are going to need to be able to test on site, where the turnaround time would be significantly shorter.

This is the problem that I see it. Say that with appropriate supportive care the fatality rate is 2% overall, and only elderly/sick patients are the one dying. What does that fatality rate become once the system is over run with patients and there is no access to appropriate supportive care for new cases? Do younger, healthier people start dying?

It sounds like most of them are getting sent home for self-quarantine, and not being admitted in the first place.

It's all a numbers game. Most people will be sent home. But IF we hit even a 20 to 25% infection rate, hospitals will be overwhelmed immediately if 5% of those require admission. Plus, who is there to staff them?

And don't come down with appendicitis either or you'll be going to the local vet.

Seriously, if media can back out of their TV contract, how are the teams gonna pay their salaries?

With a B.....

That will be funny if they have to fork out of their personal money LOL
Which they might have to. I don't know what is the legal entity of the NBA and the teams individually, but if that legal entity can't pay its contracts with the players because it's missing TV money, then it goes bust, and if it goes bust the owners lose their investment that they paid crazy money for.

This year is going to be a crazy one for sure.

This is concerning in most places. I point out not to downplay your concern for Wisconsin, but rather to shine a light on the state of where this is in the US. Which is not good.

Obviously not as important as the situation itself, but there’s a scenario now where Giannis has played his last game as a Buck. Season gets cancelled, Giannis doesn’t sign the extension and is traded before next season. Not likely, but theoretically possible.

[buckboy]

The stupidest part about this is that it’s become so politicized. I have definitely noticed one block of voters thinks “it’s all media hype” and/or “it’s just like the flu, that we’ve had forever.”

This **** dumb civilization.

I will admit I thought this might be overblown until Italy. This is not SARS or MERS. This virus is a bad mother ****.

No real reason not to get out in front of it if possible.

[DrWood]

so, how would you feel if they ended the season and we had an asterisked "league championship."

So true.

Deadspin was a good website and it's at times like these when I really miss it.

This very thing happened at a hospital/nursing home in New Orleans during Katrina. Excellent read. “Five Days at Memorial”

That book was terrifying and so disheartening.

We are nowhere near that point. If a city or region gets to the point where they even think this might be a possibility, I'm sure the feds will look at options like sending FEMA or Army Medical Corps doctors to that location.

FEMA and the Army Medical Corp has never had to staff this entire country at the same time.

I'm not panicking about it, truly, but it really isn't that simple.

It's not corona virus that will kill more people. It's no hospital beds, no medical staffs due to quarantine.

Normally easily treatable things can and will spiral out of control

A Harvard expert epidemiologist predicted 40-70% of the world would contract it. The World Health Organization just declared it a global pandemic. How do you send docs everywhere? Especially when they are also very human. I thought I was being conservative with the 20% quote.

I'm not saying will happen. I'm saying there is a non-zero chance that it will. Probably a substantial non-zero chance. If so, it'll be really bad.

[yannis-akumpo]

I'm honestly glad this happened from the Bucks standpoint. Giannis can get fully healthy and Bled can practice his way out of the slump he's in.
