There's a special place in hell for people who would do such a thing, I hope. Seconded

The entire season and all those teams just for one person?

Well, you see they said "suspended", meaning they intend to continue it when they feel they can. As for the one player thing, yeah, but you get the impression that he may have circulated widely amongst his peers, meaning many of them are likely infected.

Wow, this is SO sweet! Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is getting married, and NOT to her brother THIS time! Rather, she got married to a....married man she was having an affair with! She might have to put off that honeymoon to Tehran, given the situation, but it's still sweet! At least she didn't slander Jewish people or the US again...

Matthew Broderick's sister, a reverend at some Beverly Hills place, has got COVID-19, too. Hopefully, she's getting her day off now too.

So with the NBA, it happened during the Jazz game...the players and refs were on the court, fans in the seats, and THEN they cancelled the game. Every team who'd been in contact with them in the last ten days must self quarantine. Don't know about all those fans.
Honestly, it's only a matter of time before MLB either cancels it's season, or plays to empty stadiums; they may not even have a choice, lots of governors have prohibited large gatherings. BTW, cruise lines are starting to simply shut down their business to try and wait this out.

Now the NHL has suspended its season. Breaking news, so not much more on that yet.

One wonders if the Chinese are insane. Amidst their mindblowing efforts to blame the US for the virus, which originated in a Chinese wet market, a venerable institution that has given mankind many previous plagues, but which they have proven unwilling to stop; the Chinese are now threatening to cut off our medications. All of them. Thanks to our stupid offshoring of all our manufacturing capacity, they make all of our drugs and medicines, or all the components we need to make them. Given that it was their own either incompetence or perhaps malevolence depending on how you interperate their actions in concealing the outbreak, saying they're going to withhold the means to treat said plague, and then gloating about doing so, seems close to an act of war, existential war. I'm not sure any President from either party cam ignore that.
A wet market is one where live animals of different species including basically that walks, crawls, swims, or flies very close together, and where they are slaughtered in the same space, thus providing a perfect opportunity for various animal diseases to jump species....to us. Hence the "novel" coronavirus. And SARS.

I tried to shop for groceries last night. Notice the word "tried". I've never seen anything like it; this was the first time I've had to shop since the T-Virus got bad here in Raccoon City. Tried the Umbrella Corp supermarket, but the just had a special on zombies, so I left. Tried a few other places that were FAR more packed than I've ever seen them, even just before Thanksgiving or Christmas. And they had so little on the shelves. I wasn't even planning on horde buying, just getting what I normally get. Saw the checkout lines, and knew I could barely get a single thing on my list, I gave up.

The virus is getting worse for entertainment. Late night shows are basically all cancelled. Get ready for reruns of your late night favorites, but in a stunning bit of one-upmanship, CNN and FOX News separately announced they have already been rerunning the news.
Come on, I HAD to post that. It was legally required of me. Plus, gotta mock the monster.
