Many Americans are taking the Coronavirus very seriously and leagues such as the NBA are taking many precautions to avoid further spread of the highly contagious disease. The league went as far as suspending the season just moments ago because of it. Someone who probably wished they would have taken it more seriously is Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, who was diagnosed with Coronavirus and prompted this snowball effect. Yup, his actions the other day certainly didn't age well.
A few days ago, Rudy Gobert poked fun at the coronavirus panic. Gobert was ruled out of today’s game with an illness before the game was postponed.pic.twitter.com/LFRtEO6NLZ

Gobert is seen touching all of the microphones and recorders on the table set up in front of him as a joke amid the Coronavirus outbreak. Just days later on Wednesday, the Jazz-Thunder matchup was postponed due to Gobert falling ill, and now the season is on hold until further notice.
You can't make this up.
