We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

And if any of these cancellations were effective in limiting the spread of infection, we'd never know about it.

And then the naysayers would be here with the, "See that was totally unnecessary".

This virus will inevitably pass with most of us gone unaffected. So of course they'll be here with the, "See! total over reaction".

Just a few of the many..... 0 cases in a few days. Millions of test kits are available last week. Just go ask your doctor for a test and you can get one. Everything has been perfect. This is contained. Etc. etc.

The White House and everyone who worked there mocked and made fun of anyone who voiced concern 2 weeks ago. That’s not going to age well.

They fired and eliminated the whole pandemic department. Having those health care professionals on the job about right now would be good for America.

Think about the numbers posted for South Korea. They have tested almost 200,000 people which sounds like a lot, but that is only 0.4% of the population. Think about how small that number is. In a group of 10,000 people, 40 would be tested. Do those tests give you any confidence to stand in that group? Does anyone really think that minuscule number is a major reason why they are having success? It’s a small contributor at best as I’m sure there are clusters where a larger percentage are tested and more information is nice about who is getting it and in what ways, but still unless they don’t have the chance of passing it on it doesn’t really matter they got tested.

Cancelling schools, events, and other large gatherings is really the most effective option which we are seeing done all over the place now. Whether you think it’s an appropriate response or not is another question.
Testing absolutely makes a difference. It lets you know where the hotpots are so you can focus more efforts cleaning or shutting things down, etc.

That father in St. Louis took his daughter to the dance while they were still waiting for the test. He said if they knew she was positive he wouldn't' have went. His wife went out shopping and got her nails done. How many times does that repeat across the country because people with symptoms can't get tested?

S. Korea is controlling this thing. Aggressive testing is the biggest thing they're doing. It's crazy to think that isn't playing a huge role in their relative success so far vs. other countries that aren't aggressively testing.

NCAA source to me: “Things are moving quickly. Right now, it’s no fans. But we don’t know where this is headed. There have been discussions about canceling or postponing the NCAA Tournament, but we’re hoping it doesn’t get to that point.”

While I agree with you we need a quantum leap in testing that family never should have left quarantine. That is their fault only fucking idiots.

University of Missouri suspends in-person classes because of coronavirus concerns

COLUMBIA, Mo. — The University of Missouri announced it has suspended classes beginning at 5 p.m. Wednesday and classes will remain out of session through Sunday because of concern for the coronavirus, MU Chancellor Alexander N. Cartwright said.

“During that time, faculty are instructed to put in place their plans to deliver instruction remotely,” Cartwright said. “Existing online classes will continue as originally scheduled.”

Mizzou said during the week of March 16-20 classes will be held remotely with plans to resume in-person classes following spring break on Monday, March 30.

Mizzou said all nonessential university events will be cancelled until March 29, but necessary small meetings and athletic events will be allowed.
