Man Da Boot in trouble: New Orleans To require vaccine or negative test for restaurants, in door and other activities,starting aug 16, 2021

I have zero doubt there would have been a few dead players. Trump got mofos fucked up out here.

If not players definitely coaches, refs, managers, etc. all of whom would be in that age range of concern.

More importantly the NBA was intelligent enough to realize how continuing to allow these teams to travel and play in arenas filled with thousands of fans would have contributed in spreading this virus even faster than it already was.
 
Hold up, gentleman look at this article that Clancy Dubos put out with a time line of events.


Jan. 7 — China identifies the new virus.

Jan. 21 — First U.S. case reported in Washington State.

Jan. 22 — Trump: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China.”

Jan. 30 — Trump: “We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five — and those people are all recuperating successfully.”

Feb. 10 — Trump: “Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape though. We have 12 cases…” Actually, it was 14.

Feb. 21 — Mardi Gras weekend starts.

Feb. 24 — CDC warns of a major U.S. outbreak. Trump tweets: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. … Stock Market starting to look very good to me!” CNN reports 53 cases in the U.S. — 36 aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship, 3 repatriated from China, and 14 “U.S. cases.”

Feb. 28 — Trump: “This is their new hoax,” referring to Democrats’ alarm.

Feb. 29 — First death on U.S. soil.

March 9 — Gov. John Bel Edwards announces the first case in Louisiana.

March 10 — Cantrell cancels St. Patrick’s Day and Super Sunday parades.

March 11 — The World Health Organization declares COVID-19 a pandemic. NBA suspends games. Trump addresses nation.

Recall that Cantrell caught some local flak for canceling St. Patrick’s and Super Sunday parades, but she looked prescient just days later.

She reminded Blitzer, “When the experts told me that social gatherings would be an issue, I moved forward with canceling them. … In hindsight, if we were given clear direction, we would not have had Mardi Gras, and I would have been the leader to cancel it.”

Yes, she would have been.
I recall Lt Gov Billy Nungesser saying Cantrell was overreacting. Now he is saying more should have been done. Waiting to see how long it will be before Trump starts pointing fingers at the Governors.

I disagree.

I had tickets to the Monday night game. I chose not to go. Ironically, I went to the barbershop and witnessed someone selling a small hand sanitizer for $8 before the end of the first quarter.

I remember sitting in the barbershop thinking this is probably the last time I go to one of these places.
