What's this?

Same explanation I gave months ago...fear of the unknown...

...vs familiarity with the known. The flu sucks, but we've become accustomed to it, we have vaccines and treatments for it. It doesn't necessarily scare us.

Looking back, why do we celebrate Jordan's flu game? -- HWA 05/13/2020 2:19PM

Because everybody works sick and can identify ** -- typed by ben 05/13/2020 7:15PM

Not possible for him to infect anyone since he couldn't be guarded. ** -- reestuart 05/13/2020 2:55PM

And a whistle blew any time anyone got within 6 feet of him. ** -- RhinoVT 05/13/2020 3:43PM

To an extent, but the Pistons tried to kill him. Plenty of others tried -- reestuart 05/13/2020 5:02PM

But he still couldn't hit a fastball ** -- bigbadbird 05/13/2020 7:36PM

Curveball was his nemesis. 😃 ** -- reestuart 05/14/2020 07:16AM

It's not just about fatality rate. It's about understanding the virus and -- AbsolutVT03 05/13/2020 2:44PM

His "flu game" could have been a hangover or food poisoning. ** -- Hokie360 05/13/2020 2:43PM

Or a lie ** -- bigbadbird 05/13/2020 2:51PM

I believe it's since been said it was food poisoning. ** -- 1400E 05/13/2020 2:43PM

LOL - people have been going into work very sick for decades ... -- vt90 05/13/2020 2:26PM

Right, but you can't infect another player with your sprained ankle. -- HWA 05/13/2020 2:35PM

Agree with that - the pendulum has swung and in most offices I don't think -- vt90 05/13/2020 2:39PM

I don't get why they are covering him now- does anyone ? ** -- bigbadbird 05/13/2020 2:25PM

Nothing else to cover. ** -- HokieJay 05/13/2020 4:14PM

Because MJ asked them to do so. ** -- 48zip 05/13/2020 3:30PM

Probably because Jordan wouldn't agree to do the doc until 2016. They had -- reestuart 05/13/2020 2:57PM

Probably to promote that ESPN show. ** -- HokieNoVA 05/13/2020 2:28PM

Guilty. Story about Jordan's Flu Game was in my newsfeed today, due to ESPN ** -- HWA 05/13/2020 2:37PM
