We try to keep it as light as we can here at Panthers Wire. Football is the top priority and everything comes in a distant second. Sometimes, real life intervenes and we have no choice but to sit up and take notice, though. Following yesterday’s series of developments about coronavirus (COVID-19), this is one of those times.
If it wasn’t already on your radar, the stituation became real for many Americans yesterday when the WHO officially declared it a global pandemic and the NBA suspended their season, even as live games were still going on. That prompted Panthers safety (for at least six more days) Tre Boston to share his thoughts on what’s been going on. Here’s how Boston and a few other Carolina players are reacting to the news.

That’s a good usage of GIFs by Smith, but there’s no need to panic just yet.
