You have to figure that this has spread like crazy among the organization.

The Lakers need to test their players.

I hope whoever is suffering from symptoms will be alight. I've read that the virus leaves you with diminished lung capacity.

NBA players are more likely to get it. they travel much more than the average person and are in contact with tons of people. They are like the opposite of what you would do if you dont want to catch it.

Does anyone know if the guys that already got tested and tested negative, could test positive in few days because of an incabation period?

BS. They have much less contact with people than you think. regular people have much higher risk. Me and other healthcare workers be at risk every day.

Point of origin might be the stop in San Francisco.

Exactly.

They travelled atleast 2 hours after the LA game, so between that and the league canceling the game on an off day. That leaves plenty of time for anything to be passed around.

I’m also glad we did the right thing and did not disclose the names of the players like a real organization with integrity. Our culture hasn’t changed too much.

KD has tested positive...

Its not just coming into contact with people. If they're taking airplanes they still have to walk through airports and what not. Covid-19 is actually able to survive for several hours. So all it takes is touching some surface where someone who was infected with it may have spread it.

How many players you think went out to party when the NBA sent them home?

Put it to you like this. People ride subway in much higher numbers than people who take flights.

Considering how many people still seem to be partying despite warnings against large gatherings, I would venture to say "a lot".

Obviously not as much as the subway, but the number of people that go through the local airports in the NYC metro are is still damn high.

They don't fly coach man. They don't eat in same restaurant seats. They get privilege service.

Again, just because they don't fly coach doesn't mean that they don't pass through the same areas inside of the airport that most people pass through.

I blame Trump and his office for all this chaos. One's this damn virus broke out none of them took appropriate measures. We get better half of our goods delivered from China. Instead of talking them down from high horse bum azz should've anticipated what is going to happen next. His incompetence is a crime against all US citizens.

If we use your logic than we should stop breathing. Airborne bacteria can spread different ways, we don't know enough about this virus yet to speculate. Chances of them catching it on a plane are minimal. Why only four, why not entire team? They've been together on the same plane.
