I'm sure the Italians would be glad to learn that all they've really actually needed was ONE doctor at hand. Here they thought they needed a whole bunch of them!

Because a controlled environment where 2 primely conditioned young athletes with no spectators is the same thing as a bunch of 70 yrs old with pre-existing conditions in the oldest country in the world dying? Italy has gotten overrun because the hospitals weren’t and still aren’t prepared to give the care needed to everyone who needs it. That’s why so many have died. Not enough ventilators. They’ve had to deny care to many. They’re getting more vents now. But it’s not happening overnight.

Oh, events! The boxing events don't require a slew of doctors on hand. I understand now what you were saying.

Right now China is getting back to a shaky, but promising, normal.

From initial cases to now, it’s been about three months.

China *seems* to have implemented things rather successfully after the initial outbreak, so it could be the best case scenario for a country which initially had contagion issues.

In places like Italy and Spain and quite possibly the US, it will probably take longer.

China took draconian steps to lock people in their homes for weeks. They put guns on the street. That is NEVER going to fly in the states where democracy rules. Libertarians would never allow it. So this will drag on longer here than there as far as the spread is concerned. The warm weather will definitely help slow the spread as the virus won’t be able to live as long on surfaces or in the air. However when fall/winter return some of the same challenges will be back. However, testing will be widespread by then. Hospitals will be prepared. And anti-virals that work best will have long been tried and tested.

It will get worse over the next month for the western world but hopefully tougher measures will be implemented.

I don’t know.

I had a chat with my work colleagues (who are based in Bangalore) this morning and apparently the Indian cities are currently in lockdown, even though they’re behind Western Europe (i.e. France, Spain, Italy, UK etc.) in terms of the coronavirus curve, but they tell me it’s following the same trajectory regardless.

Unless something goes wrong (as per Abdusalamov, McClellan, Watson etc.)!!!

Having more than one doc wouldn't have made a diff in any of those tragic events.

We simply cannot know. All we can do is to pray that this thing doesn't escalate or mutate.

There's already disturbing reports about another virus emerging in China...

Yeah, I absolutely agree. It seems that many are deluding themselves into believing sporting events will be staged regardless the health risks.

Magomed Abdusalamov and Michael Watson both successfully filed lawsuits, receiving millions of dollars’ worth of compensation, about their inadequate post-fight aftercare.

They wouldn't have been successful if your claim was true, but I guess your opinion takes precedence over any official court rulings that occurred in the real world.

Professionally trained medical personnel, such as ambulancemen, nurses & doctors, won’t be taken away from hospitals dealing with the coronavirus, in order to attend boxing events that are being staged purely for entertainment purposes.

It’s actually outrageously moronic and ignorant to pretend that this would even be given any serious thought by the various sporting and governing bodies.

Mago's lawsuit wasn't over the number of docs there. it was the poor/negligent care he received, you ignorant cunt. Good medical care isn't based on quantity.
