@bskeet yep, I personally don’t think a person on the ballot deserves a vote. Vote them all out and start fresh

@BShark @approxinfinity I don’t alway trust numbers like these because I didn’t do the study. 100s of studies end up wrong in everything from Weather to Sports. If they think it could get that serious, they should indeed quarantine us all. I just found out I have been near someone that went to a dentist that is confirmed to have it.
@Crimsonorblue22 👏👏👏😝😝 gold!!
Shits getting real on this thread!!
This young man is done in a KU Jersey as he should be. No reason for his return at this point with him being projected late first round/ early second. Doke actually snapped me back this afternoon and said thanks for the kind words and he loves all of us in the Jayhawk Nation. We love ya too brother!
@approxinfinity the trouble is that it is just like the anti vaccine crowd. You find dozens and dozens of articles saying it’s really bad or just a bunch of BS. This is the same several doctors have said this isn’t remotely deadly to people under the age of 60. Any website I have looked at several showing the morality rate of .04% for people younger than that age. The problem is there way too many uncertainties right now. When you compare the morality rates of young people the flu and pneumonia are more deadly and by a lot. You compare with seniors and it’s fairly even. I think it’s all just a guess at this point and no one really knows.
One issue that we haven’t discussed in this is, a postseason ban next season. I would’ve been mad no matter what but if we’d made the final four or won the title this season the sting would be much much less. It’s amazing what pops up when we have a team with a shot. Everything from injuries to NCAA eligibility issue and now a virus.
Seeing Dokes snapchats are heartbreaking
One of the saddest parts of this is the players not getting to showcase their talents. A lot of these guys have been dreaming of playing in this tournament and winning it since they were kids. They started a journey in September and survived the bumps, bruises of the regular season. People were talking about Doke never playing in the B12 conference tournament. The dude was here for 4 years and played in one NCAA tournament. That ended up being a pretty good year by the way. Moss transfered in to become a champion. He did that but he’ll always wonder what would’ve happened this month. Dotson barely got his feet wet in March madness last year and seemed to have a chip on his shoulder to make it farther. I hate it for these young men.
On a positive note, my bracket is perfect
Would it really surprise anyone if Trump pulled something like that?
I’m gonna get off of here, I apologize if people think I don’t care, I do. I’m just not sold my friends. Everyone be safe!!
@FarmerJayhawk once again Flu and pneumonia are similar statically.
@bskeet your not getting me my friend. If you google numbers. Pneumonia and the flu are more deadly to elders from numbers that I’ve seen. I’ve been saying we should quarantine elders for a week man. I’ve lost one set of grandparents to pneumonia. I think we should protect those who need it.
@jayballer73 I posted that on the wrong thread my friend, my apologies.
@FarmerJayhawk ever read the boy who cried wolf? The more this happens and turns out to be not as serious, less and less will take it seriously. I’m really mad and not trying be a jerk but I still think this is getting a super crazy. I will agree to disagree with anyone my friend.
H1N1 killed an estimated 500,000 people world wide and over 4,000 in this country. I believe the coronavirus is still below 10,000 globally and less than 100 in this country. Don’t let your political affiliation blind you, he did fart fire nothing during that time tho World health and multiple countries declared it a pandemic. Trump and Obama are both fools to me.
@Bosthawk I am very upset myself, I will continue to be so if it blows over like it pretty much has in China now after a few months and they had the highest morality rate.
@dylans me too, not worried at this point personally.
@FarmerJayhawk it’s morality was much higher from the get go. We will be laughing at this in a month and talking about how insanely stupid it was. Remember which president was in and got a pass on this. Also the media didn’t go completely bananas when that happened or west Nile or Ebola or Zika.
I was just googling H1N1 and it happened in 2009 and was considerably more deadly. Virtually everything when on business as usual. I still think we are blowing this way outta proportion. We have done nothing in previous pandemics that statistically are 20 and 30 times deadly than this.
Wonder if they would try to move it back to like May if this stuff clears out?
So, millions are riding subways and elevated trains each day in major cities. The whole country is still working and going to school for the most part. But we are worried about 20k at a basketball game. Just doesn’t sound remotely logical to me.
@drgnslayr basically where it says .4% of people in age group died that 99.6% of the people in the age group didn’t.
@drgnslayr it’s a death rate percentage per group not percentage of people who have it.
I don’t think they’ll cancel at this point in KC already got tons of teams and people there. If it’s been exposed, it’s too late.
I think they will role on as long as no one test positive entering the games. Imagine how bad it would suck if you won final four tickets this season.
We have no TP at Walmart or Dillons, not sure why a person would stock on that at this point. If push comes to shove, one can hop in the shower lol
It would suck to be quarantined without being able to watch
Half the problem is testing is a pain to even get done. It’s just sucks all around I don’t mean to sound insensitive on the matter.
NBA just suspended the season due to a Jazz player testing positive for the virus. We are close to having no shot at title. For a virus that is less than a cold to people under 50.
@BShark they let their guard down after that dunk but man some really questionable fouls against them late.
Democrats are blaming him for not closing the boarders in December. The same ones screaming for open boarders for the last 3 years SMH. You can’t make up this type of stupidity. I really didn’t expect the turd to have any useful info tho.
@nwhawkfan the refs edged ISU garbage calls late put okie state at the line often in the last 5 minutes.
We will be playing against Ok state tomorrow after the officials called fouls on 8 of the 10 of their offensive possessions.
Looks plenty full here for Okst and ISU. Tonight’s game tickets are hot because it’s the last chance to see a live game in person likely.
@wissox always knew there was something strange about you!!! Haha
@jayballer73 they are reimbursing folks.
@dylans yep get used to it then

Seems to me quarantining the elders would be smart, everyone else wash hands and use your head.
@dylans I’ve always said at least first 2 rounds should be held at home for the higher seed. That will never happen tho, there’d never a lot less upsets. UNI, Bucknell, Stanford or Bradley ain’t winning in AFH.
I’m in minority on this but I think it’s being blown way outta proportion. Death totals for the flu in this country are nearing 50,000 right now for this winter. The coronavirus Death total is less than 10,000 world wide. One could very easily make the case that they never should have played the tournament during flu season.
Imagine how it will be winning a title for the team that does in an empty arena.
@jayballer73 link to it bring ten times deadlier? Outside of China the morality rate is less than double of the flu. Not sure how that could be 10 times more deadly. https://www.livescience.com/new-coronavirus-compare-with-flu.html ↗
@Marco I see, Gonzaga ended up spanking them.
@Marco the game is live right now on ESPN bud.
They lost by 10 to Robert Morris in the Northeast Conference Championship game. Still a good year for them.
@Marco doesn’t look like it, up 12 with 10 minutes to go. Game is on ESPN currently
The NCAA has said as of today that they plan to move forward as usual. They have consulted the CDC and health department. One thing to consider is this most is a small sum of around 20k people. The subways in major cities run millions of individuals each day and are still going. If you are sick or elderly, I’d advise not to go. If it was in Wichita, I’d still go.
