Wow ... was planning to make the three-hour trip to Dayton hoping to see Siena in the First Four. May now have to root for a bunch of upsets to slot up to a 15 seed. 😔

Ok so hold it in the parking lot. There's enough space there.

if they do in fact ban fans from Dayton, you could imagine that every other site might possibly follow that protocol..........what a disaster that would be for Albany if that were to happen.........can't even begin to comprehend not being able to attend those games...............

It's all about tanking the economy. Not going to get political but you know the reason why. If people are so concerned then DON'T GO TO THE DAMN GAMES!! LIVE and LET LIVE!

It's all about running a nanny state. Fear porn. Stop trying to run people's lives. FWIW- I have no dog in the fight. Don't have tickets to the games in Albany. Just sick of the hysteria.

This March is gonna get weird. Rather than ban the fans; why not list a warning like tobacco & alcohol products: attending this event may be hazardous to your health, you may catch a virus & die. Then leave it up to us to smoke or drink and attend a basketball game.

I’m very concerned, I’m not so sure this is hysteria. Why are countries like Italy shutting down. This is serious, I don’t care what people say, I just watch what people do.

They should ban hospitals, grocery stores, and gas stations. Also, mail men and UPS people should just be burned to protect the innocent from their filth.

This is serious, I don’t care what people say, I just watch what people do. This thing is everywhere dude. I bet most of us have already had it this winter. The only difference is we're testing for it now. It may be a little worse than the flu, and be more dangerous to the elderly and sick but it's likely well, well passed the point of containment. Also, I heard that the CDC doesn't test for it if you already have the flu. I don't know why. Does that mean that you can't have 2 diseases at once? Makes no sense and likely means more missed cases even on top of the ones that are missed because people don't go the hospital for it. Also, Italians are weird and often think differently. It's a different culture there. They are extremely bureaucratic and reactionary by nature from my experience at work. Can't totally go by them. My ex GF is also an Italian who is dealing with the red zone. She gives me updates whether I want them or not and doesn't really get why they're doing it either.

www.yahoo.com/news/why-does-italy-have-so-many-coronavirus-cases-163730297.htmlCoronavirus may have gone undiagnosed for months Experts believe one possible reason for the high infection rate is that coronavirus may have been spreading through the country long before it was officially detected. In fact, health officials say the infection may have gone undetected in the country since late January. The first person to test positive in the north of Italy who had not been to China was confirmed to have coronavirus on 21 February.
The world is probably months and months behind this virus. Ageing population On Monday, the death toll from coronavirus in Italy rose to 463, and the country’s fatality rate currently stands at 5% – higher than the 3-4% estimates elsewhere. One reason for Italy’s high death toll may be the ageing populations of the worst affected areas. The country has the world’s oldest population after Japan and most of those who have died are elderly with previous health issues.It's a demographic issue there.

Public health professional here...
This disease is not a "hoax". The regular flu has a mortality rate of about 0.02%. COVID-19 has a mortality rate around 3.4%, which sky rockets enormously for individuals over the age of 60. The incubation period appears to be alarmingly long. What does this mean? It means that if you get sick, you could unknowingly spread the disease everywhere you go. Which means that older adults and immuno compromised individuals could contract the disease from you and be at a high risk of mortality.
So, if you want to make the argument that this is a situation of individual risk, the comparison is actually this: attend your crowded event, THEN voluntarily self-quarantine for 14 days. Otherwise, you have greatly increased the risk of unknowingly spreading this disease to the most vulnerable members of our population.
I desperately hope that this is an overreaction and that the virus does not continue to spread in the US. I would MUCH rather have that argument than have done too little too late. Preventive measures have to be aggressive to stand any chance of actually being effective.

Is it true that the CDC was directing health professionals not to test for COVID-19 if people already had the flu?
