Kevin Durant has tested positive for coronavirus

They tested the whole team because he was at high risk of exposure, clearly. He's been at the same games, team meetings, charter flights, etc. as the other guys on his team.

Says in the report he feels fine and doesn't have any symptoms. I thought this coronavirus thing was supposed to kill people???

He's not playing this year so not sure why he would have been tested as he has no symptoms.

But the NBA players who have the resources or access to test are for sure showing how asymptomatic people have this thing. Are all NBA players being tested? Stars to have contact with a ton of people in the community.

celebrities and stars seem to get preference for the test. Turns out its not as communicable as the scare mongers think as so few have tested positive.

The Slim Reaper is gonna be the death of us.

The man who ruined the NBA is now infecting it.

He doesn't have it then. If you get it you die instantly. Unlike every other illness in the history of the earth where you get it before you notice symptoms, this one kills you instantly.

!@*#@#!@. I see how people want posters like you banned. I want to yell at my computer.

Many people can get this and not have symptoms. Say 50% of people are fine, 20% severely sick and 1% die. Adjust any of the numbers however you want. Hell say 99.9% of people are fine and .1% drop dead (that's still 1/1000). Would still be very serious.

And people ask what type of posts are automatically moderated. Something like a post above where someone said this is fake news by the liberal media. Deleted and banned.

I read rojo's post (whose opinion I trust because he must be really smart to have gone to an Ivy Legue school) and have to be skeptical of this news report. Is is actually possible to have coronavirus and show no symptoms. Logically, wouldn't Durant be way more likely to be a false positive?

You really puzzle me, Wejo. Of all the posts, this is the one that finally gets you to lose your mind? It's the first time I've ever seen you lose your calm and show some human emotion. A sarcastic remark noting how the Coronavirus doesn't cause notable illness in most people? Or is it also wrong to point out the regular flu also has a non-zero death rate?

Some people don't like to see posts that show truth through sarcasm or satire. What I would like to know is how it is so difficult for the "average" person to even get tested but every nba player has been tested EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NO SYMPTOMS!!

Are you connecting through proxy/VPN/Tor, comrade?

Another article states that they went with a private company directly to do the testing.

Please read about someone who tested positive a second time after testing negative and appearing to be recovered. Information is so incomplete right now that it's tough to assume what constitute as fact (from nypost):

A Japanese man who recovered after testing positive for coronavirus aboard the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship caught the bug a second time at home, according to a new report.

The man, in his 70s, first tested positive for COVID-19 Feb. 14 while on board the vessel off the coast of Yokohama, Japanese news agency NHK reported.

He was confirmed negative for the bug on March 2, and was allowed to take public transportation home from the Tokyo medical facility where he was staying to western Japan’s Mie prefecture, according to the report.

But it wasn’t long before he started to feel sick again, and developed a fever of about 102 degrees on Thursday, according to the report.

He went to the hospital Friday, and was confirmed to be infected again on Saturday.

Officials in the prefecture are tracing his recent activities and checking all those who recently had contact with him.

Late last month, a Japanese woman who worked as a tour bus guide also tested positive for coronavirus a second time.

The woman, who is in her 40s and lives in Osaka, western Japan, tested positive Feb. 26 after developing a sore throat and chest pains, according to officials there.

She initially tested positive in late January and was discharged after recovering on Feb. 1, officials said.

Philip Tiero Jr., professor of microbiology and pathology at NYU School of Medicine, told Reuters that “once you have the infection, it could remain dormant and with minimal symptoms, and then you can get an exacerbation if it finds its way into the lungs.”

Tiero said it’s unclear if the virus is “bi-phasic, like anthrax,” meaning it appears to go away before recurring.

That explains it! If you have the most money, you can buy up resources needed for the safety and well being of the rest of the country. You would think the government would have more money than the NBA but apparently not. (Example: Sorry Michigan, you have to wait until we get the NBA done before we can do your tests. )

THAT'S the post that gets you over the edge? You're a joke, but I understand how you think you're an ok dude, because your brother is an even bigger joke.

People will die in consequence of the sht that's been written on this forum in the last weeks. How can you sleep at night?! You and your brother make me sick!

The only disease in history where you have no symptoms but is very scary. Very scary

If you really did that it's admirable, and *gigantically* overdue.

Now you need to do the same to about 40 others.

Except that those 40 may just be a handful of perverts under multiple identities.

The first thing you desperately need to do (if you haven't) is an IP check on all these gargantuan a**holes. As soon as you find one who posted the same horse-sh*t under more than one identity, ban him for life.

That would be a decent start. And it's *desperately* needed. Like, yesterday.

That's it. Taunt the moderator. That'll win him over.
