370 alleged deaths from covid in Serbia and Croatia combined in how many months now? How does that warrant any measures and halting of normal life (including tennis)?

Remember when we were doing this to not "overwhelm" the hospitals? What's the plan now? Sit and wait forever because...

Indeed poor Novak was just trying to organise a bit of fun for everyone when the Dastardly Dimitrov ruined it.

Poor you. No tennis, so crapping on Novak in TTW cesspool is the best you got.
You missed the point entirely. It was a gentle jab at Novak’s dad with the Dimitrov remark.

If anyone is to blame it is the Balkan authorities for allowing the event to go ahead. Even then blame is a dubious word to use.

I'm glad then, because I consider you to be more thoughtful than the most here.

No one is to blame though. C19 deaths are on the level of statistical error in the Balkans. Maybe it's just that fraud is not so well organized and funded here. Certainly no is paying 13.000 $ for diagnosis and 39.000 $ for every such person on a ventilator. Hell, it might as well be why there's barely anyone dying here, unlike in the states.
 
If we stopped all social distancing the numbers would shoot right back up
Where do you live? I live in Belgrade and practice no social distancing (or any other measure), like vast majority of people here. There are no measures dictated by the government for months. Everyone is buying fruit and vegetables in the open markets, where most people don't use any protective equipment. If C19 was highly contagious and deadly, we'd be in one hell of a problem. But it's a cold/flu like infection at worst, so it's all a farce.

Dude you think you going to the market is comparable to holding an event drawing players from around the world and gathering crowds who literally sit next to each other?

The flu comparison has been dispelled so many times yet people don't want to believe. And what about the fatality rate of the elderly? Surely you won't care because it's not your grandparents who are infected.

Djokovic isn't evil for letting it go ahead and pretending nothing would happen as long as he followed the rules, but he sure as hell wasn't responsible.

I'm just thinking about when Djokovic recovers and later wins a Slam again.

Gonna see so many poasts bumped...

No one is crapping on Djokovic because of his tennis or thinks he isn't going to win a slam again if he plays.

Bumping threads from these events when he wins a slam will just remind people that why they dislike him has little to do with his tennis, so good luck with that.LOL

Good to know you could use a REMINDER why you dislike a player lol. His tennis (or the level of it rather) pissed many of you petty people off long before this year on top of all silly reasons, so I am not going to take even valid criticism from you seriously...
But the issue isn't related to his skills or records. This is just related to his ignorance and prepotency when we are trying to deal with a pandemic.
I know. He didn't do himself any favors. However I have read some sad cases who were happy with his test result and wishing ill upon him, even before this stupid mess that he was part of. Like suggesting severe punishments such as lengthy bans aren't crazy enough. We'll see a different sort of outrage when tennis returns. And I'll make sure to enjoy that one.

Yeah I don't think wishing him ill is right at all. And I agree, no one can deny how talented he is, and he'll probably keep winning slams and breaking records once this whole issue is over.

Criticism yes, lynch no. Require so that he got a ban out of the circuit is absurd. Not to mention octogon' BS posts.

I agree. He was being stupid and deserves some of the backlash he's getting but many people are being more harsh than needed just because he's a big name.
