Did not say when but if it happens who you think gets in?

All I've seen is where the NCAA was thinking about this, but ultimately decided to cancel the whole thing.
Yeah everything I've seen states that was what they were thinking about trying at first.
If you look at what's going on in Europe and you look at how many people here in America that still are not taking this seriously enough.....it's a pretty good bet that we won't see any organized sports for several weeks. This is going to shut down America for a while.
I don't think it makes much sense to try to have a 16 team tournament in may or june
The most encouraging thing I've seen is China thinks that they are past the peak of this disease. Not sure why they think that but it may give us a decent timeline on what to possibly expect.Quote:

Yeah, I don't see us welding folks in their apartments.Quote:

They are literally locking people in their houses. It's the largest and most strict quarantine in history. 60 million people on lockdown.Quote:

I think this might give some insight in regards to sports and the virus?

And what's going to happen when China stops that quarantine?Quote:

But what happens when the quarantine is over?Quote:

People are going to get this & it's going to spread. Hopefully it just spreads at a rate less than the capacity of the US medical system.
In China, where they actually have the capability to do so, they'll quarantine until there are no active cases. (Or that's their plan.) That's exactly how they got rid of the first SARS. They're much more equipped to handle this than we are. They also have more experience. This one is a lot more infectious though, so we'll see. But they're down from a high of ~5000 new cases per day to about 20.Quote:

I don't think enough people are taking it seriously though, so I think it's going to get pretty bad here over the next week or two. We're about 12 days behind Italy.

No matter what was being said nobody ever thought we could stop this. The whole point of everything that is being done is do exactly what you said, keep it to where it doesn't swamp the system.Quote:
