What a novel approach! We can now bring and concentrate the viruses from all over the country into our state and we can be Number 1 in a different way. Do we have a commission to count the number of new cases in the area that we can attribute to the tournament? Maybe we can sterilize the cash and credit cards. I think I will avoid downtown for a while until the virus dies off. Is it worth it??
Laurence B
Won’t do any good to avoid downtown. The people who work in the downtown hotels will be returning home to a neighborhood near you. This is how the virus spreads and why it’s so contagious. Too bad Indiana can’t work this hard with getting shots into arms, isn’t it? Priorities.
minimal risk – keep in mind these teams will have gone through their entire sports seasons under similar restrictions, but w more even more focus in preparing for tournament, less even less opportunity/incentive to go to rogue unmasked gatherings.
the limited risk is worth the upside of pulling it off!
Scott—–So far the NCAA BB season under restrictions is not doing well. Due to multiple positive Covid-19 tests (all Penn State student athletes) within a short time span, the Penn State vs WI basketball game scheduled for Sun 1/3/21 was postponed. Penn State also postponed a second game scheduled for Wed 1/6/21 at Ohio State due to the positive tests. WI “had to scramble for opponents multiple times during non-conference play due to Covid issues at Louisville and Northern Iowa”. And read the number of non- Big 10 schools that had to postpone or cancel games because of positive Covid tests…..https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/college-basketball-games-affected-by-covid-19-oregon-state-goes-on-pause-postpones-games-vs-utah-colorado/ .
Wow. I am excited. Since Indiana is totally unable to control the pandemic now, it will definitely be unable to deal with it by the time the tournament starts. It will give the City time to build a bunch of new hospitals just like the Chinese did. We need the construction jobs, you know. Money and the economy first. Oh and by that time, we will still not have enough people vaccinated so we can be the ultimate Midwest epicenter of the pandemic. New York had first honors, and now California is taking center stage. The Midwest should not be forgotten. Indiana will lead the way, but we have a lot of work to do. Everyone who comes in from out of state to support the players will provide the additional cases of native Hoosiers do not have enough Covid to keep our streak going. If necessary, we should import the UK strain or the one from South Africa. Who knows from the holiday trips, maybe some Hoosiers could bring back some better strains. We can only hope.
Wow. A bunch of cry babies. Just stay home and you will be fine.
