I have a brother with an auto immune disease and an immunocompromised dad who is 65. I am not taking this poo lightly. 

I have sarcadosis which is an auto immune disorder.  Generally my immune system is only really compromised when it flares up which for now I dont belive it is but the threat is there.  I'm getting married in alittle over a month and it sucks because I'm going to have to cancel my honeymoon and figure out a way to beg my soon to be wife not to go on a bachelorette trip in a couple weeks to nashville.  For some people it's no big deal but it's very real to me.  I'm hoping the NBA suspension, celebrities being infected and travel bans are enough to wake people around me up.  Why not hunker down for a while to prevent total chaos?

On top of that I'm a damn ups driver....go figure.

I wasnt too worried with it, but this is unlike anything else I've seen in my lifetime now.  The NBA suspending and potentially cancelling a quarter of their season and all that revenue?  People hoarding all these supplies...  This is starting to get scary.

SARS and Swine Flu was worse. Not saying to stop washing your hands but just that we have delt with similar things before.

Actually that is true. I’m certainly  taking this virus seriously. Everyone should. But Dr. Michael Osterholm is a public health scientist and disease expert and has literally said it will get easier to contain it. It’s somewhat a counter productive point because that insinuates many people will have it but it does get easier down the line. Those who recover will cease to be carriers. It’ll spread like wildfire in the early stages.

Just like letting a candle burn itself out since that is how many viruses die out in time. It's a waste of time to try and explain this simple logic.

My father in law is a pediatrician. He saw a child today presenting with fever and flu symptoms. Mom (herself a doctor, this will blow your mind momentarily) was sick too. He asked her if they'd traveled anywhere recently. They just got back from Italy recently. Wait... what? The kid had been in school all day. Mom had been seeing patients the last two days having just gotten back from Italy presenting with these symptoms. The child's flu test came back negative. Waiting for the coronavirus results. FIL is self quarantining pending those test results.

Yeah that's pretty much death for them. Potentially left unchecked anyone with Disabilities or over the age of 55 could die at a high rate.

Yep it's the idiots that spread the virus. Closing our borders to Europe should curve a bunch of stupid.

I also have a good friend who used to work for the CDC and is currently a medical professor at Johns Hopkins. She says that based on what's happening elsewhere, this is already widespread in the states and we just haven't realized it yet, largely due to poor access to tests.

Once the test come in the numbers are going to be staggering. But it will signal a end not a beginning.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By RIPTreyLance · Posted

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)

      Didn’t get around to watching this one but looks like Pistons played their starters and actually tried…? Unlucky that they sit vs Magic, etc and try vs us. Hopefully we can beat the Heat and then Magic or 6ers with no Embiid. BUT if not, the NBA really should give us the lottery win this year like they did Mavs last year. Another high pick could be our final missing piece and have us as legit top contenders next year and going forward if we’re healthy. Or trade it for a Giannis type
