Anyone going to Greensboro?

[rocfan44]

Looking at Stub hub, all sessions tickets not too bad. Prices for two are what we used to pay for one strip in the Big East.

 

[bballbeadle]

I am going. Visiting with friends in Durham before and with son and grandchild in Charlotte after. I am just wondering if we’re going to end up playing on Tuesday. Hope not!

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Given Coronavirus I just don't think I should risk it.

 

[Chip]

On purpose?

 

[bballbeadle]

Aw c’mon, guys! It’s our team! It happens to be convenient for me to go because I have so many people to visit, but still . . . Magic could happen! Remember 2006? Hey, you never know!

Etc. Etc.

Wait to buy...at the rate Cornonavirus panic is spreading those tickets may get really cheap.

I have seriously wondered whether the epidemic is going to cancel the NCAA tournament. I don’t think the increasing spread of the virus will affect the ACCT, but it might. I’m driving down anyway.

The talk of not opening the games to the public has started.

It would be quite the financial blow and dispiriting to hundreds of thousands of fans. But this epidemic seems to be altogether dispiriting.

I’m totally fine with this years NCAA tournament being totally weird and unattended and anticlimactic if we can’t play in it.

I agree, NCAA won’t do that. I have been looking to go to Vegas for the first time for March madness. I have watched prices drop everyday. The fear is real. Not going to lie, it’s in the back of my mind too when considering going.

I’m not downplaying the severity of it because it is definitely serious at this point but my family and I are going to the ACCT and I have zero worries about it. It’s definitely different going overseas or maybe even to a tourist spot like Vegas but even then if I were you I’d jump right on the low prices. Just my mindset on the matter

In total, the CDC estimates that up to 42.9 million people got sick during the 2018-2019 flu season, 647,000 people were hospitalized and 61,200 died. That's fairly on par with a typical season, and well below the CDC's 2017-2018 estimates of 48.8 million illnesses, 959,000 hospitalizations and 79,400 deaths.

So, there's that...

Ha! Totally underrated Kinks song, one of my all-time faves.

... which alas, they were lip-syncing there, but whatever.

(Guess that Ray & Dave were on the outs then, since Dave wasn't even on stage)

The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.

Very small possibility. With 2 games left only BC is within 2 games of 9th place. SU beats them this week the current teams 5-9 won't drop to 10th place. Even if BC beat SU, the Eagles finish @FSU, so it's very unlikely BC goes 2-0 this week to crash the Wednesday party.

Thank you! What a nice, precise answer to my question.

The thing is that I can dramatically reduce my risk from the flu by getting immunized. There's no vaccine yet for Covid-19.

I was in the airport last week and a ton of folks with masks. It was a weird feeling I have to say

The same people wearing the masks will take it off whenever they get where they are going, forget to wash their hands and touch their nose or face.

And to order a drink and eat pretzels. Not an exaggeration

True. Typically a 55-60% reduction risk according to the CDC when vaccinated, however, this year according to the experts the shot is less effective. FWIW, I'm middle age and have never received a flu shot, nor have I ever had the flu.

Covid-19 is not some MI biological warfare/Chimera virus, just a different/new Corona type, in which there are several. Fact is, just as the flu numbers reflect, the vast majority of the population will survive this Covid-19 if stricken, and without residual, just as many do when hit with the flu.

Doctors are telling people not to wear masks. Wash your hands and keep your hands off your face.

Hands, easy. Face, next to impossible. Must retrain my brain.

Have they had the ACCT in St Pete since we joined? Saw the 2007 one was there when a rerun was shown today from it.
