I have found the news that says KAT's mother is in coma from corona virus and I hope that she gets better but I couldn't find one for KAT himself, maybe he has it as well but right now is definitely the worst time to get it for him. Think about it, dudes mother is in coma with a chance to never waking up and he needs to be with other people who could support him through all of this yet he will be basically stuck all alone.

You can have smart phones and chats and whatever but as long as you are truly alone with nobody around that means you will feel alone anyway even if you talk with others. Hopefully they both recover and get better. People should realize, it is not elders that put us in danger, it is elders who put themselves in danger by going out.

 Recovery is a lot faster if you are a healthy individual it turns out. However there is a real trouble that until you get better, there is a chance you can infect others as well. There is a HUGE number of people who are infected right now around the world, but we do not realize that a lot of them are not actually dying, many of them will recover because this doesn't kill you all that easily right away, it usually damages you, it bed riddens you, or maybe sometimes does absolutely nothing, Donovan himself said that he feels like he could go for a 7 game series when he was infected, some people are just carriers and feels zero sickness.

 I think the way the world is going right now, we are still peaking and going up, I doubt we will see NBA this year if this keeps up, I know that they want to play because we are talking about billions of dollars here, but they can't force any player to risk their lives as well. Think about an NBA player dying because of corona because he was forced to play, do you know what will happen? That would be literally suicide for Adam silver and the rest.

Some good news just came in, both Gobert and Donovan Mitchell have recovered from COVID-19.
I hope to hear the same for Smart, KD and the rest of the Net's players that got it soon.
Good news indeed, and expected as they are pro athletes at their prime, and on top of that they have best medical services money can buy. I bet that 99% of them have mild symptoms so I'm sure that all the others will recover soon as well.

I hear a lot of talk lately about season continuing without the fans, more and more people in the media mentions it and I think that might become reality soon. Players like LeBron will just have to accept that. As it looks, it might be the only way to finish this season. But that comes with dome dangers as well. Tough call, and whatever they choose, there will be opponents and complaints.

I am even surprised too, I thought Italy would have the biggest number of cases but they were surpass by the US, maybe because the measure done by the US is not so strict that even the NBA are still considering of continuing the season with the idea they presented.

To be honest, I wasn't surprised with the US surpassing Italy in the number cases, after the first few NBA players tested positive, I knew that the virus must spread a lot during those games without anyone noticing due to how long it could take before the symptoms could surface.

This would be far from perfect, but I guess it would still be better option that completely cancelling the season. Personally, it will be miracle if they can pull off this. It will be interesting to hear players opinion, as they are the ones that will be endangered the most, and consequently. Maybe players could be in some kind of quarantine during finals series, to minimise the risk of spreading the virus.

Any decision taken by NBA as to how to finish the season would be far from perfect, if it's not the native playoffs format. However, they'd would be looking to savage as much as they can from whatever is left, so even more drastic measures could be considered.

I guess I'd better wait for the final decision of the NBA organization, the crisis in the US due to the corona virus has increase, they already surpass China now, so they better prepare for this than thinking on the business.

Whatever their decision, I am okay with it, I'm just here at home to watch them play again live, but I just can't also not think of the current situation as people are in big struggle right now, and yet they are thinking of resuming their business?

Life of people should really be the first priority rather than business.Well its an easy thing to say but really hard for the organization yet we know on how much they would lost but

with this current condition i dont see a reason that they should push it through.Im shocked that US surpassed China and Italy for a short period of time and this isnt the right time
to think up about business.

This is becoming worst day by day.

I am even surprised too, I thought Italy would have the biggest number of cases but they were surpass by the US, maybe because the measure done by the US is not so strict that even the NBA are still considering of continuing the season with the idea they presented.
True.
I have seen a lot of politician news and they really want to continue working even with other countries already doing the quarantine.
I won't even risk my life for that.
There will always be another job if they fire me.
It is not about making money anymore but staying healthy and alive.

NBA could always continue the game anytime.
I think it is being on the top of all the countries which they want to prove.
They don't want to lose that.

^^, Yes, US and Italy are now the new ground zero, not very good, China has somewhat control the spread of the virus, while US are rising very fast and there have been high profile personalities and athletes getting infected.

@bbc.reporter - I don't know if high profile personalities are more willing to be a pawn in this pandemic by the government. But I do agree that this is getting uglier by the day. Lock downs, self-isolation, it's madness right now even here in our country.

For those without discipline.
It is actually easy to prevent it by just staying at home. Don't let any visitors come in. That way, they might do the same.
Hate me all they want but I won't get near them. I won't even open the door for them.

Trump even let some workers to get in work while doing social distancing. I still won't approve with that.
The economy can stand again later on but it will not  if you don't have any people to rise the economy.
I am not against him or anything. It is just that people should really stay at home for now.
It is the government problem now on how they could give what the people need. That is the use of a government right?

About Italy, Oh! let us not go there. People are like adventurers wanting to see the world without people and cars outside.  Grin

NBA is considering options regarding finishing this current season. Latest news is that we might get some kind of Finals series in Las Vegas

Quote
The Las Vegas tournament could be a play-in tournament for lower-seeded teams if the league decided to cancel the rest of the season.
The tournament could then be a best-of-five series for the first round and then a one-and-done tournament to determine the two teams moving to the NBA Finals, according to individuals familiar with the planning said.
CNBC says that the tournament and finals would be held at the Thomas & Mack Center and the Cox Pavilion, where the Summer League is held, though News 3 was unable to immediately confirm this information.
Games following the restart of the season would likely be played without an in-person audience.

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.
Ouch. The infection is increasing.

Contact tracing will be the key to know how they go it but it's difficult to implement it.


Very difficult to trace that up, there are lots of possibilities on how those players get this virus, not just physical contact with people who already carrying it but there are many other ways for this virus being transferred.
Lockdown will help a lot of keeping the spread so best to follow this for now.

That's correct, and it seems like China have already found the solution to this pandemic, they are asking the US to talk to them, hopefully Trump would seek help from China and forget about the war just to save the humanity.

There is no confirmation yet that KAT was also infected, it was the mother that was infected according to the news.

As of now there is no news yet adding on the NBA players that was already infected with the virus, but unfortunately now US surpass China in terms of number of cases of COVID-19.

The skpetical me. There might be a conspiracy to control global public panic through the use of famous celebrities and athletes to pretend that they have the coronavirus and show that they are ok. This virus might be more deadly than what the authorities tell us, I reckon.

Some good news here.
https://www.nba.com/article/2020/03/26/reports-christian-wood-almost-recovered-covid-19

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.

That's great news, He's the first player from the NBA to have fully recovered as stated by his agent, Chris Wood announced he tested postive later than Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchel, but neither of both players have recovered, maybe theirs is just around the corner.

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/pistons-christian-wood-becomes-first-known-nba-player-cleared-from-coronavirus-per-report/
This next week might be the good news for those two players since they are like the older brothers who are infected first.

More great news.
NBA players are really trying their best to inform more people about the virus and are also donating to help.
Here is one from Steph Curry asking one of the best in the virus field.
