"Don’t wait for community spread. Now is the time to do social distancing, whether there is spread in your community or not.”
- Fears as 15 coronavirus patients ‘die in a matter of hours’ in US – after showing NO symptoms, TheSun.co.uk, March 11, 2020.
2. Post Malone had a concert in Denver last night. Despite the coronavirus pandemic gripping the country, Pepsi Center still opened its doors, permitted by the local government. So fans still flooded through — at least 10,000 bodies (probably more) bumping and interacting and intermingling into the night.
Video of the full house stunned many online, including Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who retweeted it and attached a public service announcement.
"It’s going to take all of us to commit to social distancing in order to turn the tide and get the virus under control,” Kerr wrote. “Please explain this concept to everyone you know.”
Kerr understands how this looks to the most cynical of his detractors. Hypocritical, he’d guess. His league and his franchise spent the last couple of weeks hosting a homestand in San Francisco, as the virus was aggressively spreading in the region. Three times in six nights they loaded up Chase Center with thousands of strangers, risking a more rapid spread and the ramifications attached to that. He was an unknowing but obedient employee in the process.
"I’m well aware that four days ago I was coaching an NBA game in front of 15,000 fans and now I’m pleading with people to avoid gathering in mass crowds,” Kerr said in a phone interview. “It’s not that I’m being hypocritical, it’s that I was ignorant four days ago and I’m trying to learn like everyone else. I’m trying to use my voice to help spread the word because that’s what it’s going to take. Everyone has to understand that every individual can play a role in this and that’s the only way it’s going to work to shift the momentum of what we’re facing.”
