 I don't know about a "vaccine" but I know there are drugs that are helpful right now actually being used as of this moment. Of course drugs are not something you get plenty of when you are in a pandemic outbreak, it is normally manufactured enough to sell to people who might need it for something totally different so there isn't really enough, I am sure governments are in talks with the companies to manufacture a whole lot, but it will take some time obviously. So we all have a solution for now. Plus scientists are really smart people, if you give them a pandemic, they will find a cure, you don't have to wait for another nation to find it, your own scientists will find it too, maybe will take longer but they will, they are that much smart.

 On nba front, I think for now there are just too many proof that playing basketball which is a contact sport is a very bad idea during this time. Rudy Gobert not only mocked corona, but also he probably infected Christian Wood as well, dude was guarding him all game and he got a test done and he turned out positive right after guarding Gobert, is there a chance he got it some other way? Sure, do we really want to risk it? Absolutely not.

I hope the vaccine will be shared faster.

So is it also possible that the vaccine was already created by a specific country but was not just shared to other countries.

I've seen movies, those countries who discover the vaccine seem to prioritize their people, and since China now are looking good with few or no cases being listed, I guess we can assume that they had already found the vaccine.

Any thoughts?

Yes, there might be a vaccine now. They are recovering so fast in just days.
I don't know though when it will be shared.

This might even take longer than we thought. Some people are just not into being disciplined. They still want their freedom and they are still in the streets. They do not even care if they will pass whatever virus they are carrying or might carry after walking out there.
Sad part is they are in groups.

Some good news here.

Quote
Detroit Pistons forward Christian Wood was the third player in the NBA to test positive for the new coronavirus, doing so on March 15. However, it appears the big man is just about healed up from COVID-19 and is reportedly closing in on a clean bill of health.

It doesn't really live on air for hours, it just has particles that can stay in a place for hours, however that is usually docile because the biggest one is still contact with human. We should learn the virus we are fighting, there are ways you can get virus a lot easier and there are ways that is harder to get the virus, one of the easiest ways is human contact intimately, so when you kiss someone that is a very high chance, but when you have corona and cough on a phone for example and put it down, 5 hours later someone else picks it up, can they get it?

Certainly they may, but it is a much much lower chance. NBA is postponed literally because of this, since players contact each other all the time, everyone pushes each other, dunks on each other, steals and dribbles and whatever, so there is just waaaay too many contact to continue.

At this time, it's better to stay in a place that are not crowded, because no matter how you take care of your body and you take all the vitamins, you will still get infected as people that are surrounding you might be positive with COVID-19.

There is a study that Corona virus also lives in air for hours.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/18/coronavirus-lives-for-hours-in-air-particles-and-days-on-surfaces-new-us-study-shows.html

It's better to stay at your own home, it's really not about the place being crowded or not anymore since the COVID-19 virus can stay stranded in the air for long durations and stick on solid surfaces so even if just one asymptomatic person leave some droplets in that area it is possible that he can infect a lot of people that's why we are seeing a lot of big named celebrities, sports star, and even a Prince have them without even know the origin or them having any history of being close to a known infected. Just stay at home even even if there is no lockdown in your area.

WTH, I missed the discussions about the scandal  Grin btw let's go back to the possible return of the league.

It's not that interesting though. People all around are so much focused on NBA and when it will be back so I think the news is gonna fade away very soon.
Yes. Issues like this are likely to be gone within a week or two.

And where can we see the confirmed cases of COVID19 for NBA players?

Here is the link where you can find Nba players found with virus and timeline: https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/coronavirus-kevin-durant-marcus-smart-rudy-gobert-among-nba-players-who-have-been-infected-with-covid-19/amp/

There are still lot of players who are found with the virus but teams haven't announced the names yet.
Thanks for providing the link. I don't think the other teams will disclose it to the public but they'll act the right action for putting the confirmed players into self-quarantine.

Another bad news from the NBA, KAT is now also infected, why is it most NBA stars were getting infected by the virus?
With this new cases in the organization, I doubt the management would still push to resume the season soon.

It was only his mother that is in coma, but probably if they have a contact, KAT might also be infected with the virus.

@Questat I can't seem to see it anywhere.
Do you still have the link in which KAT was diagnosed?
All I know is his Dad and Mom are the only ones who are positive from the virus.

But as stadus says if he made contact with them which he also said that he keeps in touch with them.
I bet that is not just thru video call and text messages.
This is going to be bad. A never ending passing of the virus. I hope the vaccine will be shared faster.

Another saddened news for NBA player KAT mother that has been in a coma coz of the covid-19.

Karl-Anthony Towns: Mother in coma; Wolves confirm COVID-19 diagnosis

KAT even mentioned his father that has been affected by the virus as well, but managed to take down the fight between the virus and now is in recovery.

Indeed, one of the Sad news in the NBA, players are being isolated to their families and friends. Those who are not showing symptoms can past the virus to their love ones except they are proven negative. This is what happening right now in the world, we hope this pandemic will end soon. I miss seeing those surprise dunk by the star players, I'm tired of watching replays.
Sad to see that your love ones are suffering while you can't do nothing as the virus is really transferable and it's too quick to be infected whoever you are and how strong your immune might be, and aside from that you are also carrying it without any notice.
Stay at home and exercise best protection is to have a healthy immune eat healthy fruits and take your vitamins.

We will continue to pray and hope this pandemic will be over soon, everyone of us wants the NBA to resume, but we have to fight the virus and survive even if we are struggling. I am not surprise with this kind of news as the number of cases in the US has been significantly rising, no one is exempted in this pandemic, even in the royal blood gets infected as well.

What a bad news again Sad, KAT himself should now start strengthening his immune system even futher because if his father and mother got infected then most probably he and his other relatives could too. I just hope he didn't socialize too much and just inside their house these past few days. They really need isolate the virus to avoid situations getting worse.

Anyway, though we all knew that most death cases happen on the elders but I believe that his mother can beat it. If her spouse made it then she can too Smiley.

We can only hope and pray for the best and their quick recovery. 🙏🏼

One great lesson, though. We, youngsters, should start shaping up and quit the mentality that we are always on top of our health and are invincible to this virus. Here we are presented with healthy NBA athletes getting infected, one after another, KAT being the latest victim. Yes, we are strong, and the infection may not kill us if ever we get it but we are definitely not living alone. We have families, friends, and neighbors. One or two of them may be old and/or sickly.

Towns said his mother was "never cutting" from 103 degrees, and that at best it would fall to 101.9 degrees with medication and then spike back up overnight. He said she "was deteriorating -- and we always felt that the next medicine would help. This is the one that's going to get it done. This mixture is going to get it done."

Obviously, this was it.
Symptoms of the virus. Once fever keeps on going back then the person must be checked for Covid-19.

This is what hurts the most.
Our elderly cannot fight it anymore since they have a fragile body at their age.
All love for KAT and I hope they can get through all of this.

For us, let us stay healthy and also keep our elders at home.
I know they are hard headed, patience is the key.

I think it is because of the virus. Their brain are all getting eaten out with nothing to do inside their house.

You are right lol. I don't know anything about the full legal terms associated with that case (Section 501 of the federal Copyright Act ) but OMG I can't believe there's a violation for that even though the one that uses the photo is the author's subject itself.

""As a result, Mitchell is seeking damages that "would reflect profits, income, receipts and other benefits derived by James and his co-defendants or, in the alternative, "damages of up to $150,000" per infringement.""

Yeah, money money money! $$$ BTCBTCBTC



I know others are an enthusiast of reading conspiracies, even me as it was really interesting to read. It's fine as long as it will remain like that and no follow-up questions. However, any conspiracies, made-up story or spread news from an unreliable source that isn't confirmed yet doesn't really help with the current situation. The pandemic is serious. We don't need another sh*t to think about. Cool

 There is a difference between china and rest of the world (maybe except Italy). Back when China first got it that became a trouble for them, for the rest of the world it was a threat but nothing major for a long time, now it is a thing for the whole world and there is already china recovered from it and france maaybe figuring out a cure. So I think it will not be another 4 months if you ask me for the rest of the world, I think we can see NBA basketball in July if they decide to continue but they really don't have to if you ask me.

 By logic if they start in July, I think they can play about 20 games in 30 days, if not probably 40 games at most. That way you can play the playoffs in 20-30 days as well and be done with the league by september and ready to start the new season by November or so, quite doable if they really want to. But we should all remember, this is human life we are talking about, we can not ask players to risk themselves and their loved ones to a virus by forcing them to play. So if NBPA decides to sit out this whole season, I will respect them and even agree with them on such a thing.

There is no "cure that is hidden by china", literally a generic drug is good enough to cure everyone, it has been talked about for days now that there are 2 drugs, can't say their name because it was Latin as usual, when combined helps people cure in less than 6 days, if you start to give every single person that comes through the door with a fever those two drugs, you are basically saving everyone.

Right now, the "cure" is to keep people alive, the virus stays in your body for just a few weeks and during those few weeks people actually die because of the fever and not being able to breath, but if you keep them alive, it just recovers and virus goes away, so "staying alive" is literally the cure right now which kills a lot of people, with this new two drugs (not new to world, it was used for different stuff) works as planned, we will actually get rid of it by this summer for sure.

"Chinese Basketball Association has delayed re-start to May"
source: https://twitter.com/WindhorstESPN/status/1242784898018140164

The CBA was set to resume in mid-April after it was shut down back in January, that would be 4 months since it was stopped.

NBA has suspended its season on 11 March, added 4 months + a few weeks of training camp and we should expect some basketball action in August (best case scenario). That's gonna be a long wait...
