The Big Ten Tournament is off:

Wash your hands as you contemplate this news. When and if the NCAA tournament will proceed is now in serious doubt. There is no more content after the jump.

I kind of want to get infected to just get it over with. Seems inevitable at this point. 
 

But I’m hearing “re-infection” is possible, and we don’t know how genetic drift/shift will play out yet. The reason we need a flu shot every year is that the virus changes so much, antibodies from prior infections/vaccinations are no longer effective; even in a few months. 
 

So maybe not.

If only it worked that way.  Jury's still out but studies done with CT scans indicate the reason it's deadlier than the flu, and why those who died did so of pneumonia, is that this thing extensively damages the lungs.  The medical term is "ground-glass opacities" (actually has nothing to do with glass, it refers to the fact that hollow cavities in the lungs make the scan look hazy) but essentially it turns your lungs into swiss cheese.  Survivors of COVID-19 have significantly reduced mortality.  Some seemingly recovered, then quickly got sick again and died.

Still in a hurry to catch this thing?

Blaaa this shit is crazy.  So sucky but its the right move, and every sport should suspend all activity....Id be shocked if NCAAs were still happening. 

 

What am I supposed to watch now?   Heard Outlander is a good series ...any thoughts?
