Posted Nov 22, 2020
North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams: "If you're not afraid of something... I mean it's killed over a quarter-million people, you damn right I am afraid of it," Williams said. "I am aware of it and respect it, yeah, but heck I don’t want to get the thing. I am serious, guys, over 250,00 people have died from the thing. So if you're not afraid of it, you’re crazy."
