I read that he was licking mikes too - not sure if that's true or not. Either way I feel terrible for everyone involved. I read that Mark Cuban is going to try to start a fund for all the people who will be put out of work. I hope it happens.

He was running his hands all over reporters microphones and a table they were on. He reportedly joked about the coronavirus. Some of us had posted the video of that in this thread already, but here it is again, if you missed it:

 

 

 

 

 

Looking at these recent reports about him, it sounds to me like he might have been purposely touchy feely with the other players and their belongings. The fact that the Jazz players disclosed that he was doing this in the locker rooms privately leads me to believe he was acting like that. NBA players usually are tight knit and will usually show physical affection towards each other like hug/dap each other up. But it sounds like Rudy was going beyond that and perhaps intentionally being too touchy with them and their belongings.

 

I sincerely hope that no other player test positive for this and that no one else that Rudy/Donovan interacted with got this virus. But they did interact with a lot of people and played against several teams, who in turn played against several other teams. Here's hoping this isn't some terrible chain reaction that is about to happen to the NBA, and other workers, staff/family members of the players as a result of this.

 

I also wonder how Rudy initially contacted the virus. Donovan's locker is right next to Rudy's, so he was in very close contact with him on a daily basis, which could have led to him getting it.

If people can't go out to events and are going to be stuck at home, it will be like a science fiction movie and people will start shooting.

 

This will likely be Trump's new talking point soon (and sadly many will eat it up).

 

 

 

 

The PGA starting tomorrow will not allow fans on the golf course.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is self-isolating after his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, began exhibiting mild flu-like symptoms after returning from a speaking engagement in the U.K.

Many people thought Trump looked ill last night, so this is an interesting story:

This picture was taken last weekend at Mar-a-Lago. The guy in the hat standing next to Trump is Fábio Wajngarten, press secretary for the Brazilian government.

They had already played a lot of games with fans in the stands. The only one left is the PGA tour. I can't see MLB having regular season games.
