Guys here is another thing that has come to mind for me on this Corona Virus. They are going to have a huge problem/headache when it comes time for containment. Here is my reason why:

Someone please tell me how can or will they have containment be able to quarantine when the /officials are dealing with ALL the homeless people on the streets and such throughout the US ?

We always want to know who these homeless have come in contact with , HELL the Homeless come in contact with EVERYBODY when their on the streets, then your going to have to find the certain homeless that may have been infected as we know they usually never stay in a certain area very long, you have to try and find when and or where individuals people picked up the infection , the typical who you came into contact with. - How can they identify when your dealing with homeless, I'm not trying to kick at the unfortunate that are o the streets but they could very well become one of the very biggest carriers

You also have to think that a large majority of the homeless probably won't even get tested/be tested. As you know also a lot of these homeless aren't actually in the best of Health causing them even more susceptible to the virus/ low immunities, this could very easily become one of the major problems in this whole scenario - -THAT scares me

I think we could be better offensively next season but the chemistry and defense of this team may not be seen again for several years. I think each passing day I get angrier and angrier, this is as bad as a death in the family.

Agree with you on the defense. - -have to dis agree about a death in family buddy. - People have no idea what it's like to have to put your little boy in a grave - can't agree with you there not even close.

Getting just a TINSIE bit of stress relieve - now watching my 2nd KU game of the day against Okie State when we played the Big 12 tourney in Dallas Sasha ,Mario and the boys - -had forgot about CJ Giles - -wound healthe wound but might be a little medicine lol

just following on this dam thing , and it spreading like wild fire. 272 new confirmed cases in less then 6hours. Total confirmed for the United States now is 3,324 cases with 63 deaths - 3 new deaths in this 6 hour time and a long way to go I'm afraid.

I think what is making this more some staggering to this guy is , that I'm just not used to something like this in my lifetime.

I'm just not used to seeing something of this magnitude in this Nation that I love , guess I've been lured into a false sense of security. - -Just thought our nation was to good for something like this to happen. - -Another NBA player Confirmed to have it. - -A college Basketball player has been confirmedto have it ,no name - - no school but a College player - -NOT GOOD

Snob hill, arrogant, wine and cheese crowd, cheaters... we’ve been accused of a lot of things and called worse. - F**k KU chant, GayU, Fly over U etc. KU gets its fair share of hatred my friend. But the arrogance accusations are probably not too far off. It’s not unearned, but definitely unbecoming.

check they're board

So, @jayballer73, since you follow other school's boards... Is the Silo Tech fanbase celebrating the coronavirus because it managed to do something KSt couldn't do...beat KU?

  • -just been to the board of Arrogance

Is that us (KU fans have been accused of worse)?

Umm well let me just say , and say with all bias aside. For those people that are calling us worse - - then they really step outside their selves and take some time and actually read thse boards and post over sometime. NOT just a day - or two days. I'm talking for a month or so , you can then really justify if they think that's truly the case or not. -I mean you don't have to engulf yourself - -even just browse - -hell you don't even have to open the thread on some of these , the title of the thread it'self pretty well can tell you what you need to know , pretty easy to get the jest of where it's leading.

Others that I have taken the time to read -just solidifies my stance. So for someone who wants to try and compare the two fane base and coming that we are worse or even in the same ball park simply has NO IDEA what the hell they're talking about, whether that be you, (not saying it is, but if it were ) or whoever they might want to check facts a little better before throwing that out.

Actually I feel that their fan base has a true fear , paranoia of KU Example ? - -perfect case scenario , when this whole Corona Virus thing came out , and then came the point in time where they canceled . So I thought I would check out other boards and see what they had to say about things being shut down , so went to UK board and opened it up and BAM instead of conversation of the Corona and the effect on the basketball season. Thread is talk about -WELL we only lost like 3 games in all times wins to KU with this, they can't gain anymore , referring to the Virus being a blessing. - Other of these idiots responding and , and , and they gonna get stripped of wins blah , blah , blah - throwing in all the basic idiot name calling. This is just a very small portion of what they throw out about us on their board daily.

I really don't see the Kentucky focus -well not nearly as much anyways as they have on a daily bases , they just seem overwhelmed , entranced by KU - sometimes I have to check and make sure I'm on the right Board - thinking to myself ,I thought I was on the UK board - - this looks like another KU board. - - through my experience it sure seemswith things said on that Board no WAY compares to our boards with them, - just un-deniable aggorance

@approxinfinity said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

I'm blown away that we are not mandating a social distancing policy. I hope the labs start testing soon.

true getting tested but like they said really all gonna do is confirm - -with increased testing we all know the confirmed cases gonna spike. - -Kansas has it's 8th confirmed virus -- Franklin County - -Another in Johnson county that is associated with Johnson County Community College

IT'S always refreshing to hear funny during trying times we might be facing. - -Just like this, as Larry the Cable guy says ( I don't care who you are that's funny right there ) lmao

@approxinfinity said in Coronavirus Thread: Boy, guys. I really just don't know. Best to keep tabs.:

@jayballer73 actually if you agree that the issues I listed are important right now, I am arguing that these are the exact issues Bernie Sanders has been talking about and focused on for 30 years. Nobody cares more about these issues than Bernie Sanders.

Give me Sanders in the White House and a democratic house and Senate. The House and Senate will be close to Center and a lot will get done.

To clarify, my point is Bernie would murder Trump in a debate right now. In the general, I don't know. I wish people would realize that the issues raised by progressives are the real issues even if the solutions aren't as practical as they would like.

We need to strive for the right goals right now.

well if he has been on these for as you say for 30 years then just goes to show people's faith/and trust in him still hasn't won a election .Got murdered in his own state in this campaign - Sanders will never be the President to many do not have any trusting him. I am not ties to any affilation, i'm going to stop I'm not getting into Political Bs on our sports site your welcome and entitled to your values and idea's - as am I an din no way would I ever support Bernie.

I appreciate you man we have talked I' am more concerned with some other things right now worried about my own daughter and this virus. - You stay safe my friend

@approxinfinity said in Coronavirus Thread: Boy, guys. I really just don't know. Best to keep tabs.:

@jayballer73 the important thing, in my opinion, for regular Fox viewers to consider is that the reasons behind the progressive agenda are valid.

We need to ensure the health of our citizens (see our current predicament).

Our citizens need enough wealth to be able to deal with unforseen circumstances without financial ruin (see our current predicament).

Our citizens need healthcare and time off from work that is adequate (see our current predicament).

The financial powers behind the Republican party and Fox news do not want any of these problems addressed. If you don't agree with Bernie Sanders solutions that does not make these problems go away. But notice no mention of any real solutions to these problems coming from the right.

This is the boiling point.

Consider one man who wants to do something about it and another that wants to pretend the problem doesnt exist (see Trump saying that there are 15 cases and that number is going down 3 weeks ago when this problem could have been contained) and now is showing complete incompetence in handling the issue.

Give me the guy who actually gives a shit about this country and other people.

Bernie Sanders would murder Donald Trump.

Wellif you want as you say the Right man then I guess your not talking about Sanders - -so I guess you need to go and campaign for the right guy

Oh buddy I needed that laugh thanks for that lmao - get ready for 4 more years of President Trump.Especially if it's that Radical Sanders what an idiot lmao

Just saw our latest numbers, took a hell of a jump from yesterday. Confirmed cases now stands at 2,628 confirmed cases - - -41 recoveries -- & 50 Deaths. - -that's 50 deaths to many. = =Prayers for everyone. - -the news conference here in Topeka yesterday as pretty clear/informative as to why they shutting down our K-12. - Saying that with all the kids coming back from spring break at once and being in such closed surrounding is the perfect incubator for the virus. Closing for 2 weeks and the re-evaluate as two weeks has been the incubation period. - Saying that without a doubt there will be cases for sure in Topeka no way around it

2020 Transfer List • Mar 14, 2020 02:07 PM

From reading the BAGLE - from what I read looks like there are FOUR transferring out, boy Marsha time to take a swig from the ol ladies bottle maybe TWO roflmao

@BShark said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

@kjayhawks yeah we should have tightened up about a month ago. It would have been seen as an overreaction but would have absolutely flattened the curve. Obviously I'm hoping we do not see that many deaths.

I was listening to a news report and they said the number of confirmed cases are going to spike once we get more kits able to test more people. They are talking about shortages of hospital beds , talk about that having surgeries schedule - things not pertaining to this virus holding off if possible , gonna be a shortage of hospital beds and such with this for treatment of confirmed cases

@approxinfinity said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

Almost all the people I have talked to in public the last few days have been dismissive of the severity of COVID-19. I just went to pick up my wife's car and the mechanic told me his father in law went home sick. I told him good on him to send him home. He seemed embarassed to have done so. I brought up Coronavirus, and he started telling me numbers about how many people the flu killed last year. So far, when it has become clear that people are working with talking points from a position on the right I have disengaged, mostly because I want to get home. But I've felt that maybe I should be arming them with an alternate view.

So I told him coronavirus has a 2% mortality rate in China, and that is 20 x that of the flu. And that i'd assumed China had a worse healthcare system. However, in Italy it is 6% mortality. So if we don't take care like Italy didn't take care, it's going to be bad. I told him that the secretary of health in Ohio estimates the number of ohioans with coronavirus to be 1% or 116000 because of community transmission and that we should wait until tests are administered before we know the stats accurately around coronavirus. At that point he barked at me twice "WASH YA HANDS!!" as I walked out the door.

Have we been conditioned to believe that all truth is subjective?

Can this guy emotionally handle the truth that Coronavirus is a serious threat if he came to accept it?

Do I need to be careful what I wish for? What exactly would people like this guy do when people start dying around him and our infrastructure is overwhelmed by sick people?

Is it better if some people remain in the dark, always?

Agree you can't fix stupid my friend

How cool is this. - - -Zion is going to pay for the Pelican Emloyee's bills for the next 30 days with this virus going on. - -I'm guessing Concession workers, ticket takers , ushers and such. Kind of refreshing. He say New Orleans' has accepted him so much he just wants to make sure they don't have to worry about having no money for these bills. - Just really Awesome. Thank you Zin

Crazy how this went from many people saying Ahhhh they are blowing this out of proportion to getting ready to go to a NATIONAL state of Emergency. - how this cases have just took off like a country side wild fire energized by 45 Mph winds >

My neighbor and I said before this even come close to this like 2 1/2 weks ago - -we said LOOK OUT and I told her at the time - -you watch we not even gonna have the tournament this year , SURE ENOUGH.

But you know what bottom line is as much as it sucks Life is more important , health is more important then ANY sporting advent. -Ya I am one of those in area of concern - -I certainly don't want to see any of my friends sick/or worse - believe it or not there will always be other opportunities for the Championship , you only get one chance at life. - Yes true most will make it with out things like that BUT still just the thought/that remote chance.

@jayballer73 wishing her the best man. Scary times. Get in and get out. :crossed_fingers:

He should have declared shutting the schools down the first time around. But he's a stupid a-hole, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

thanks appreciated just keeping fingers crossed. It's been my understanding that this really isn't effecting the kids like elderly Thing is though even though younger may not be as effected as much they can STILL be carriers.. -- So many can have such mild cases they don't even realize they have it. - -some may get tested and be so mild it can come back negative and you STILL have it crazy

President Trump going to beholding news conference, going to be or expected to Announce National State of Emergency as Hospitals are expecting spike/surge in cases and patiences and trying to find space/beds

Also talking about millions of kids home from school fromvirus - -schools shutting down and putting the question out when is it time to shut ALL schools down?

yes sir - -what chaps my ass is THIS WAS OUR YEAR. - so we get screwed this year get nothing and then next year -- more likely then not we are going to be in a post season ban from the tourney - -yippee

For us here in Kansas took a hit yesterday and today. 3 NEW Cases here in Kansas yesterday all in Johnson county contacted from conference in Florida .

Today which is not good. A Doctor at Wesley Hospital confirmed their 1st case. They are doing everything to protocal which is good - - isolation , restricted visitors - -seperate entrances, The thing that concerns me here though yes the patient if confined , which is GOOD BUT the question becomes where did this one contact the virus at - -and how long did they inner act with other people in and around the Wichita area not even knowing they were infected ?

My concern here is Wichita one of our bigger cities here in Kansas if several coming in contact with individual. - -This could become one of what they are calling community type situation this would not be good because it could really spread throughout in the area. -keeping fingers crossed

Just hearing on Fox forthose people in Ny where they have cases sooooo bad. The Gov there is saying he doesn't think this is a quick fix - -he thinks they are looking at a 6-7 month process there not going to happen in a month or so - -that statement for them sure makes things sound NOT so good
