Donovan Mitchell is feeling great.
It may really not affect on them since they are all healthy athletic people.

https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1239549150729035776

In isolation but all the test with him are negative with fever, also, no symptoms.
I think he is also enjoying the isolation watching his highlights. Grin

Smiling and looking pretty well.
We should still wait for more news. 14 days is still the maturity of this shitty virus.

Not everyone that is tested positive and isolated tend to have the syndrome. Some people are still normal but they do have the corona virus tested positive. I wouldnt really trust the news nowadays, media tend to blow things up through some extensive writing about this kind of issue

This interview of him seem to be giving relief for some people who thought that once you are positive with the virus, you'll get ill until you die, his immune system is strong to fight the virus, I think this is what we need now, we need to improve our immune system and stay responsible by isolating ourselves.

Hays, this is sad. No more games because of this virus. I wish that the infected players will completely recover and be cured as soon as possible.

The tracking should be done and the people they've talked to and interacted with before knowing that they were infected must also go into self-quarantine to avoid further infections. Undecided

For sure the team owners and the commissioners will take actions in order to lessen the possibilities of much wider spread of this virus around their premises.
Fans are likely to accept this actions from the league governors in order not to bring more risk and have more casualties.

That's what they can do and contribute to reduce the spread as much as possible.

Social distancing is one method to lessen the spread and thus, let's wish all the best for everyone who are badly affected by the disease.

That was the best game of his career, I think there was no porzingis at that time, I check the box scored I did not see his name.
I haven't watch that game but I'd be interested to watch the replay now that we are lock down at home, thanks for bringing that here, I'll check how he did that.

You certainly would enjoy it. Yeah, there is no Porzingis at that day, which Rick Carlisle unleashed him to the bench and puts up a show that gave a smile to the fans that are watching, despite the terrifying COVID-19 update that is happening. It might be Marjanovic is there key weapon in playoffs, that's why they don't often use him at the regular season.

Even if they find a cure right now, it will still take time to mass-produce and distribute it. It will really take time before the world will be back to normal.

But at least this will add confidence to people to go out because they are certain they'll not get infected again.

If there is a vaccine, we can prioritize the athletes so we can see them playing again and the NBA season will resume, they can play without fans right, so maybe that's the first step for the NBA just to resume, then eventually fans will see them watching as more and more vaccine are being produce and distributed.

First priority now is to look for a vaccine, after that, for sure people will start living as normal again.

Mid-late June. It will almost be October again when all games will be done.
I bet they will make haste of everything since they don't really need to go from different states.

In that case it might even affect next season, if current one drags for too long. What NBA could do to shorten the playoff season once it starts is to reduce amount of wins needed. So maybe go for best of 5 series for all games except the final. It wouldn't be something that we didn't in NBA before, as from 1984 till 2003 that's how first round of playoff was sorted. Or maybe even introduce best of 3, as it was before that, for thr first playoff round.

There is one even more exciting idea, albeit completely unrealistic: single elimination tournament. So something similar to NCAA and "March Madness". For me that is sometimes even more exciting that NBA playoffs, but I doubt that NBA is ready for that kind of experiment.

It is hard to plan anything though, since no one knows how and when will all this end.

They can also shorten this regular season and do the playoffs and finals in the same format. Then have another shorten regular season next year. Playoffs and finals are the most exciting games, so I do not think fans will want a shortened format for playoffs and finals. NBA can easily recover revenue losses in many other ways.

I am afraid NBA may not come back in a month like we assumed when it was postponed. The disease looks a lot more serious than it looked just a week ago and there is a lot more prevention nowadays.

Even if they find a cure right now, it will still take time to mass-produce and distribute it. It will really take time before the world will be back to normal.

Sorry but I got confuse, so you are saying Gobert already had this virus when Jazz played the Raptors?

I thought he got this during the interview when he was touching the microphones.

Gobert already has the virus before that touching the mic scene.

Since the estimated period where symptoms of the virus will show is 14 days, it's not only the Raptors that might get affected but other teams as well, the Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics and the Washington Wizards.

These teams are now in self-quarantine since Gobert was tested positive and as stated above, Raptors players and staffs are found negative of the virus.

So after the Raptors game when he was listed as questionable to play, he already had that virus?

Thanks for the clarification, but did the doctors said he already had that days before?

I mean Gobert did not feel the symptoms, he was playing well at in the past games, this really bad, so is there any news yet about on the status of the other players that the Jazz have played during the time when Gobert was presume to already had the virus?

Correct. Gobert has the virus already on their game against the Raptors. After that, he feels sick but prior on Jazz vs Raptors tip-off, he is now fit to play but medics ended up on the decision to test him with Covid-19 test. Someone posted here the story. Just check back a few page.

And to your question about the status of other Jazz players, Donovan Mitchell also tested positive. He's the only got infected but the whole team is still subject to self-quarantine 14 days from the day Gobert was tested positive. So expect that we can have a full report after the quarantine period.

Because of this COVID-19 outbreak, let's talk about the last (corona) game.

It was against to Mavericks and Nuggets. Where Boban Marjanovic puts up a career high (31 PTS 12/20 FG 17 REBS) in which a memorable day for him. Despite of not having so much playing time, thus he does become efficient on both offense and defense that judt gave Jokic 14 PTS.

That was the best game of his career, I think there was no porzingis at that time, I check the box scored I did not see his name.

I agree, it doesn't look like its coming back any time soon, there is no way they can start it back up in april like nothing happened, we are literally in a global epidemic that is about to kill every single human on earth if we do not do something about it. Do you realize that even if you survive it does permanent damage to your lungs? And did you know that even though it is unlikely you can still get it back again after a while? This means it will hurt you bad on the first time and it will kill you on the second time, if not on the third time because you will get worse and worse every time you get better.

As long as scientists do not recover some sort of medicine that will destroy the virus, we are going towards a doomsday scenario right now, there is no world without actually fixing the problem we have right now, I do not want everyone to freak out, it is not as serious as world ending most probably and we will definitely find a solution eventually even if a million people dies, but it is also not as little as "lets get the games back" neither, it is more serious than that. If the games cancelled until next season I would totally understand it and respect that decision.

I doubt we can really get rid of it in a month, this "heat will kill it" thing turned out semi-wrong as well, it does help with having a lot better immune system so I doubt we can actually call it wrong but it also doesn't instantly kill it neither, you just get it and survive it easier and it makes it not as deadly and when you have it once and get better its harder to get it again, so heat does help a bit but its not the cure right away. Plus there is no medicine/drug we know of yet, so we are going to probably have to wait a lot longer than just one month break.

I wonder what would have happened if the virus will take too long to disappear, we can't do something about it but to wait for the officials to resume the game again. meanwhile, players will have good times for their families now that the season has been suspended. the only thing we can assure about this season is, the Golden State Warriors is no longer have a chance to play on playoff.

I am not thinking of that anymore, I am optimistic that the NBA season will resume soon, I don't want to think of the possibilities that the season will be cancelled as that is unjust to the NBA teams who struggle in the past but has been performing pretty well this season.

Lets all be positive that this virus will able to find the proper treatment so this issue with the resume of our favorite games will be there for us.
Not sure if what will be the next thing in mind by NBA facilitators but for sure it will be for the best interest of everyone.

One of my deepest thoughts when I read about COVID-19 details was can it really be seen even if the virus ain't matured yet?
Does those test kits really focus on looking at COVID-19 or is it just for the symptoms?

It would be a totally useless test kit if it is just looking for symptoms, ain't it? They are swabbing your saliva and using high tech machines to detect presence of COVID-19. I am sure it can detect the early stages of the virus.

Yeah, but I have never seen one being tested live. Grin

I guess it does work.
So who have provided all those test kits? Is it China?

So back to NBA.
Best case scenario as they say it.

There will be no fans, so what is the use of transporting them.

They could just say it is negative because this is healthy people we are talking about. Which also means the detection may be quite difficult that it may take 2-3 weeks before it matures.

Self- determination will be hard because it requires two weeks before you can see the symptoms. But if you have contact with known victims, the test kits will show if you are infected or not.

Quote from: Reid on March 15, 2020, 08:39:46 PM

ESPN, Fox and all the sports news outlet who interviewed Gobert should also be tested with this. It may become worse if they are scattering that virus without knowing it.

They should be, but I think it is already covered. And, they also should self-quarantine.

I don't want this to happen but I think Raptors too will record at least a single infection on their roster.

As the last team to play the Jazz, Raptors and their entire staff had to be tested for covid-19.

Results came back yesterday and they don't have anyone with the virus which is great news at this point.

The statement posted on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BlakeMurphyODC/status/1238900463774380039

That's good! Here is the story: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/28900391/raptors-tests-negative-covid-19-were-last-opponent-jazz

As reported, the 14-day quarantine period will still on effect so maybe there is still a chance that the virus is not detected because these players are healthy? But I trust their testing kit and medical system, it's one of the best in the world. And not just players, but all Raptors staff who travel to Utah were negative with the virus.

I'm more worried about Serge Ibaka prior to that result as he's the one who received the most physical contact with Gobert on their last matchup.
