2024 NBA Season

[NavI_027]

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.

What a bad news again , 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 .

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

@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.

[Botnake]

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?

[blockman]

WTH, I missed the discussions about the scandal  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.

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.

[el kaka22]

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.

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

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.

[Captain Corporate]

 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.

The longest period for this virus to live when it is on a metal/handrails etc. next would be on fabric and 5 minutes if it would be on human hands.I didnt know that this one could live on air but i believe it would be on the surface where those droplets stick in not literally airborne.

I cant see any possible way to stop this but to strictly implement to stay home and wont hang out even with your team and as you said this is fast when theres human to human transmission.

This pandemic wont stop if people would recognize on what things are the appropriate to be done.Self-discipline is one of the issue.

We are facing really worst thing as many peoples just inffected because they are not stopping to meet others we also have few cases in last three days inffected person meets his son and wife now all family in under this trouble I am feeling now this years NBA is going really terrible like Golden State Warriors.

Chance that they've already got the cure or treatment is high since they are already getting good progress with the situations inside huwan,

We need to pray and hope that they will share and reveal everything in order to penetrate and help other countries who are also having
problem containing this virus especially those poor ones.

[chaser15]

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

LOL.  Don't blame Gobert that he's the source of Covid-19 in NBA

It just happened that Rudy Gobert was the first one to be tested. There's also a possibility that it's the other way around and Gobert was the one who got infected and shows the first symptoms. Stop with Gobert now dude. There are players, staff and other individuals that got infected even no direct contact with Gobert. Remember that it will take 2-3 weeks or even more before a person will show symptoms of the virus.

Instead of focusing too much on Gobert, pray and hope for the best. Your grudge to Gobert, as I see on your other post will not help or ease the situation that the world is facing right now.

You can even be infected without contact if you touch something which an infected person already touch that's how contagious this disease is. Suspending the NBA games is for the good of everybody, players and it's fans.

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.

Gobert is also a victim here. I even don't like the reaction of Donovan for blaming Gobert on why he got positive also because he did not know in the first place that he got infected. Dude is young and things happening around have not set in to his mind, he's only thinking of himself.

Karl Anthony Towns is still virus-free up to this point. He might undergo a test. If I'm not mistaken, KAT isn't living with his parents so the test isn't necessary to do. Like in any other country, those who will just show symptoms will be tested as a priority and for those suspected ones or got contact even a bit for those infected ones are meant for 2 weeks quarantine period. There's no report that KAT will be tested too. When she talks to her mother at the hospital, he is in full protective gear.

The virus should be taken really seriously. Others don't understand how deadly it is that's why they are comfortable going outside or not following the government protocols.
