Patrick Ewing: I Got The Coronavirus!

NBA legend Patrick Ewing tested positive for the coronavirus.

Even the biggest and strongest can catch COVID-19. Mind you that everyone is at risk. Me. LeReyna, our families, our friends, our acquaintances, our community and our world is not invincible.

NBA legend Patrick Ewing confirms he's tested positive for the coronavirus.

The former all-star of the New York Knicks and current coach of the Georgetown men's basketball team is hospitalized for complications due to the coronavirus.

The details are not known but it was severe enough for him to be hospitalized. Ewing told Marc Berman of the New York Post that he expects to fully recover from the virus.

Ewing, a Hall of Fame player, had been in the spotlight again in recent weeks because of the Michael Jordan documentary The Last Dance. Ewing's Knicks were the Chicago Bulls' greatest rival. Jordan played for the Bulls during the late 1980s into the 1990s.

Ewing was a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic Basketball Men's team dubbed the "Dream Team."

He played in Barcelona at the 1992 Summer Games.

Ewing is one of the many people around the NBA and NCAA to test positive for the virus.

Kevin Durant, Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, several unnamed players plus Knicks owner James Dolan as well as staffs from NBA teams tested positive for the coronavirus.

Ewing is a Hall of Fame Player, a 7-time All-NBA player, 11-time All-Star who was one of the dominant big men of his era. NBC Sports says that he retired from the court to do coaching.

He was the assistant coach for the Washington Wizards, Houston Rockets, Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets. He eventually took on the role as coach for the Hoyas of Georgetown, the alma mater where he graduated from.

Here's the map.



The United States and its. territories relaxing their stay-at-home orders. However, the number has not decreased and folks are not taking this seriously. About 5 in 10 Americans are wearing facial covering. I seen it in the stores and public. They are no longer taking the threat seriously. Seeing that we're entering Memorial Day and the unofficial start of summer, folks are going to ignore the rules and put countless lives in danger. So therefore, you're not going to Americans socially distancing.  You see Americans believe that the worse is over. You also see Americans protest against their governors and state health officials over keeping businesses that have large gatherings from opening.

Donald J. Trump has demanded that governors make religious facilities essential in a last ditch effort to win back white religious extremists.

Get well.

We have over 115,000 Americans killed from the coronavirus. The entertainment industry is completely shutdown. The hotel, resort and casino industry is shutdown. Local governments and public/[private colleges and universities have laid off workers. We have over 40 million Americans off the labor force. We have nearly 50 million workers risking their lives to serve. Yet, we have our president tweeting, insulting, complaining and trying to deflect from the mess he's created.

The distractions about Joe Biden and Charlamagne tha God shows how Trump is determined to use the culture war to win reelection.

This election year is very important. If you want this nonsense to continue on, vote for Trump.

Take Trump seriously. Do not think about the polls. Think about the electoral college. In order to be the President of the United States, you need 270 electoral votes. Trump has a favorable map. Biden does as well. What matters is the electoral votes. If Biden pulls Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania he will win. He won't need Ohio or Florida. But if Trump does pull any of these states, he will continue to drag the United States into debt, uncertainty and catosophere.

Here's things to remember about the coronavirus.

1. Wash your hands frequently
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals.
5. If you're sick, please stay home.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Meet, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime.
14. If you have signs of bluish lips or face, inability to wake or stay awake, new confusion, persistent pain in the chest, trouble breathing or blood in cough, call 9-1-1.
15. Not all symptoms of COVID-19 are confirmed or denied. New issues keep showing up.

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.

Healthy people can die from this.
