None of this is to complain, just to give people a little window into what hospitals are dealing with. They’ve now had to lock down the masks because I guess people were running into the ER and stealing them. 

-rg, glad you were able to get relief, I hope your recovery goes smooth and you are as good as new in no time

If it helps, SLU about to tip off in this simulated tournament: https://twitter.com/fixthemadness

We won a first four game v. Iowa and now play Texas Tech in a few minutes. 

I glad that Gibson made a full recovery and chipped in 2pts in our win against, Iowa.  https://www.whatifsports.com/ncaab/boxscore.asp?gameid=12229038

So are we in the Sweet 16 or was our first game the First Four?

That was first round, onto what we know very well, round of 32. The Iowa game was a play-in

No one is saying the virus is a hoax.  No one is saying it isn't serious.  That being said, it has been highly politicized.  To deny that is to be blind to the facts.  Here is another sick example.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/democratic-groups-to-spend-millions-hitting-trump-over-coronavirus-response/2020/03/17/5f9fadba-686c-11ea-9923-57073adce27c_story.html

Um, we had multiple Fox News hosts calling it a hoax and the President saying it would be down to zero. It's politicized because politicians from the No Nothing Party ignored scientific consensus for weeks, cut funding to the CDC, and endangered millions. We can talk about all of the bad decisions governors and mayors have taken, right on down to Pestello (he's been really good, IMO). It's a matter of public health, meaning that politicians make decisions, some of which are good, others not. There's a difference between acknowledging this reality and demagoging the eff out of it by calling it the Chinese Virus.

Does anyone else regard Bell as “heavy footed?”  True, he doesn’t jump well but his offensive footwork was way better than I expected 

Being on the slow side doesn't have anything to do with having good footwork.  In fact, being fundamentally sound is one of Bell's strengths.  These teams will breathe a sigh of relief when French graduates, only for Bell to abuse them offensively in a greater assortment of ways.

I think his footwork was incredible for a freshman big.  He just needs to learn how to finish. Hopefully with increased strength that will come.

Are you saying Chinese nationals are more prone to the virus?  I’m not following. 

No, I’m saying that there are thousands of seasonal Chinese workers and many more who have relocated in Italy, which was a major factor in the spreading the disease. Not sure why this should be a controversial statement... I guess  facts disturb a certain segment of our society... I was just trying to point out why Italy was not a good comparison...pretty comical, people call you a troll but don’t refute your facts... it’s sad that some just blindly follow the lead of an uninformed source with out any interest in the truth...
