A person dies every 30 seconds from heart disease in this country. This is just a fear campaign.

Oh, is heart disease contagious through the air and not preventable?

 

[madguy30]

But isn't that what the media is pushing?

We can't spread this b/c people will die.

heart disease, obesity, influenza.. all more dangerous to everyone than corona.

If I sit next to someone at an event that has heart disease, or is obese, I'm not going to get those things from it.
And if I get a flu shot I have at least a good chance of not getting it.

Why are these comparisons happening?

Are we going to compare it to unintentional injuries too?

 

[madguy30]

A life long obsession of going out to drink beer, and eat things like hot dogs, nachos, walking tacos, and clone cones, and then you end up with heart disease. So I would argue that going out in large groups can cause heart disease.

This is amazing.

SO glad we didn't make it and make a run this year, lol

Interesting, i didn't realize heart disease was a communicable disease.

Yeah, that was a ridiculously bad analogy

I sat next to a guy eating a double cheeseburger, think I will pop some aspirin to thin the blood a bit.

After being at the state fair last year I got home and practically sprinted 5 miles. Having a corn dog is part of the deal, but being around the amount of visitors that were just continuing their lifestyle was a great motivator.

One positive: this won't be one of those 'Only ISU' things like a year when ISU is a strong seed sent to Des Moines.

Imagine comparing heart disease to corona virus in a non ironic way.

If only you could choose what you consume.

Yeah, with people like that we have little chance to slow this thing down unless we shut everything down.

They could pipe in stadium crowd audio similar to The Laff Box/laugh tracks ... call it "Cheer Box" (special version of it for KU games, called "Boo Box.")

Those round-earth morons have no clue what they are talking about!

Last night for fans at all sporting events?(NBA,NHL,etc.)...Hope we are getting the real info from media/government. Things have changed dramatically in just a few hours.

I really don’t think people are actually listening to the medical professionals. There is a difference between cautious prevention of spreading the disease and what we’ve seen today. We have to still live our lives. Take precautions let people get refunds for events but today has been an overreaction.

People can still live their lives.

It'll just be without 1st world luxuries.

I just want to reiterate how big of a financial impact all of this will be.

Wow.
