Next season...

@FarmerJayhawk the trouble is that they are saying that 40% of the population is infected and probably doesn’t even know it. Some people are wondering if they did have in January. We had a sickness at work that sounds like Coronavirus and we were all tested for flu, strep and pneumonia but all were negative. But we all were tired and coughing for 3 weeks. It’s just crazy right now with how little actual info there is.

Yeah this is a pretty weird virus. You guys might have had it…might not… we need more info in general about it.

Turns out the tests haven’t been 100% reliable either. There’s on-going work to improve that, but it contributes to the confusion and controversy over numbers and rates…

I don’t think anyone’s saying that’s absolutely going to happen. It’s all based on projections, and some of those are from the data we had weeks ago and a scenario where we did nothing.
I agree there’s significant uncertainty, which makes caution all the more prudent.
-
@kjayhawks I was sick in January for a week straight, and now i’m wondering if it was covid… joint pain, coughing, but no fever.
-
@Eric-san yep same story with us, coughing, tired and sore, but no fever.
-
Well here is another thing with the virus. - -It has been said that some even a lot of people will have such a mild case, say they go in and get tested - they said that the test will come back negative ! ! ! - -and yet they ARE infected , just such a mild case it doesn’t show, so their infected and can go out and spread the virus thinking they tested negative , what the hell do they do - - - they have to be tested a 2nd time ?
-
@jayballer73 yup. see above comment about tests. It is what it is. Nothing is perfect, and these have a ways to improve.

Lol thought everyone could use a laugh.

This year, Kansas played its final game of the 2019-20 season on March 7, 2020. It was a 66-62 victory at Texas Tech.
It’s now March 15 – just 8 days later – and I feel something is missing. Seems like a feeling I haven’t felt for a long long time.
So I did a little research: When was the last time KU finished its season on or before March 7?
Even in 88-89, when we were banned from the NCAA tournament, we still competed in the Big Eight tourney on March 10, 1989.
You have to go back to March 2, 1982 when the 1981-82 season ended in a loss to KState in the first round of the Big Eight tournament.
HARDER QUESTION: When did we end the season with a WIN on or before March 7?
Back a bit farther to the 1975-76 season when we finished with a victory at Oklahoma on March 6, 1976.
I was in 5th grade. The planet had about 4.1 billion people. Billboard’s number one song was “Love Machine” by The Miracles. Median US income was $12,690.

@dylans I love Carlin, his skit on politics is spot on.
-
The NCAA was saying they didn’t have kits to test players, families etc. That’s one of the reasons I’m seeing

That is why most effective quarantines for this require 2 consecutive negative test 24 hrs or more apart to be released. They didn’t do that when the US hastily flew the passengers back from Japan who had been aboard the Diamond Princess. That resulted in some who later were revealed to be positive being on the plane.

Ok more humor for you. True story - My friend, who works in Philadelphia at a paper plant that makes toilet paper for a major brand (Scott’s I think), says when he returned to work on Monday the bathrooms had no paper.

Educators, free to use this as a nice example of a run-on sentence. It’s probably three well written sentences in one.

@dylans lol that’s fantastic.

@kjayhawks “I think we could be better offensively next season”
I just wish we could find a guy that shoots about 75% from the field…
-
@nuleafjhawk doke like?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Nah - 75% from THREE !! Lol
-
@nuleafjhawk Man…uh…Woman - I am totally flustered by the whole NCAA Tournament Cancellation thang - I was about 98% sure the trophy was ours this year. Would have loved to have watched the run.
-
@nuleafjhawk so bad you r talking to yourself! You able to go to work?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yep - I’m AT work. Can’t say there’s actually much work going on. My phone has rung about twice today. Oh well, it beats sitting in front of the TV and watching the hype.
-
Last thing I will be doing is watching media coverage of this.
-
@nuleafjhawk go big or go home lol
-
@BShark AMEN Brother. Been watching a lot of ABT. (Anything But That)
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Lol - i finally figured out what you were talking about - talking to myself. i didn’t realize i had done that. I must get it from my wife.
