AAC Tournament in Ft. Worth

[WstateU]

Not speaking about just the sports cancellations. I realize cancelling this stuff is not dangerous.

HOWEVER, overreaction can be as dangerous, if not more dangerous, than under reaction. Just waiting for the rioting and looting in the streets at this point.....lol

Yea, I've been wanting one of those Samsung 70" models... hmmm.

Half time of the Creighton game, no less.

0 percent chance the NCAA happens as scheduled.

Creighton gets no breaks in the 1st round eh

[ShockerEngr]

Half time of the Creighton game, no less.

They would have called it with 1.9 seconds remaining.

Half time of the Creighton game, no less.

Only fitting that the last box score of the year is of Creighton losing in March.

RIP Luther...

One Dimming Moment

The balls quit bouncing
The season is over
They're sending us home
We're running scared
We're a fading star
Panic is rampant
We always knew
Leave all the rhymes to Kung Wu...

This raises a question. Is it better to let nature run its course, or let human intervention try to take care of it?

It is infinitely better to intervene and slow the spread. If you have all the cases in a short amount of time, the healthcare system will become overloaded and unable to handle it, and many more people will die. Even assistance to those without the virus will be affected, as care will be spread much more thin. That is the primary goal of many of these distancing measures.

You do know that almost everyone that is infected with this virus will need no medical treatment at all don't you?

If you run the numbers on the ones that do need medical treatment, however, there aren't enough ICU beds in the country to handle the number of patients this thing is forecasted to require. Like, by a significant margin.

Add to it the number of medical personnel who will get sick themselves (or at home with kids whose school is cancelled), and we're staring down the barrel of a huge problem. Anything we can do to ameliorate the issue is wise.
