The coronavirus has stopped the world and its effects on the economy and the lives of people around the world will be hard to forget. However, it looks like some people still need to learn that this is something serious and needs to be managed with delicacy.

The NBA itself has been affected by this disease. After Rudy Gobert tested positive for the COVID-19, the league suspended the season. Following that, several players tested positive for the illness, too, including Kevin Durant and Donovan Mitchell.

This is something serious and people need to start listening to the authorities, stay at home and practice social distancing.
