NBA season suspended. I expect the NHL and MLBA to follow suit.

NBA had to cancel after Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz center) confirmed to have it. I suspect other professioal leagues will stop play too. The idea of having no fans is kind of silly. Although, NCAA Basketball tournament (March Madness) is supposed to go on with no fans, except family members. I think that might change though.

MLS cancelled/suspended now too.

Not surprised after another player was infected.

Basically all major sports travel too much not to be affected by this.

Oh shit. Sorry. I misunderstood. That would have been fun. Sorry you're not able to go.

I know they talked about postponing, but I think it's only a matter of time before announcement that the Summer Olympics will be outright cancelled.

Canada declaring a pandemic means my chances for getting back to the office next week are slim.

This is unpleasant. Trying to direct assistants over the phone to find where some file might have been misplaced in the office is not an efficient way to work.

As I suspected:

'Trump's Travel Ban Excludes Spots Where He Has Golf Courses
ON PAR
The president excluded Ireland and the U.K., though there are more cases there than in many European countries included in the ban.'

https://www.thedaily...ourses?ref=home

'Tests indicate coronavirus can survive in the air

[...] the COVID-19 virus could remain viable in the air "up to 3 hours post aerosolization," while remaining alive on plastic and other surfaces for up to three days.

"Our results indicate that aerosol and fomite transmission of HCoV-19 is plausible, as the virus can remain viable in aerosols for multiple hours and on surfaces up to days," reads the study's abstract.

The test results suggest that humans could be infected by the disease simply carried through the air or on a solid surface, even if direct contact with an infected person does not occur. That finding, if accepted, would come in stark contrast to previous media reports that suggested the virus was not easily transmittable outside of direct human contact.'

https://thehill.com/...tlBFXTeDow8adck

This is consistent with the recent conclusions of Chinese scientists that I linked to before.

There's now reports of over a 1000 dead in Italy, an increase of 23% since day before.

Holy fuck.
Screw you all, and have a nice day!

The stuff coming out of Iran from non-gov channels is truly horrifying if even somewhat accurate.

All NCAA conference tournaments cancelled. March Madness probably next.

Second player on Utah Jazz confirmed - Donovan Mitchell.
