Against my better judgment and several beers deep, I have taken you up on this, potentially ending my streak of totally worthless posts. I have done 3 and 7 day averages only on the Worldometer data.

For basketball no, but has track and baseball finished more than a quarter of their season?  Everyone could be in line for a redshirt.

Texas also had LEGIT chances of winning titles in softball, men's tennis, women's tennis, rowing and women's golf.

This absolutely sucks.

I'm in Los Angeles and the lack of any response whatsoever is staggering. All LAUSD has done is cancel sporting events. I work in the criminal justice system where I am in frequent contact with the homeless and the incarcerated. We're basically being told to be careful and that they are working on getting hand sanitizer to us. Otherwise, business as usual.

There are going to be a lot of people in positions of power who will have a lot of explaining to do when this is all said and done.

We did not cancel athletics. These idiots think spring break will end it if they clean the school. HS has 2700 students and quite a few are traveling.

Last night Fred Hoiberg left Nebraska's game after being visibly ill and was tested at a hospital. Apparently it's influenza A but it just shows that even people with coronavirus symptoms are reluctant to take the necessary steps for prevention.

The NCAA is a horrific organization so I assume they'll hold out as long as they can, but there's no way the tournament happens.

Well, Hoiberg is a college coach, a fraternity of the most overly self-important people on the planet.  

No one else could do his job.  His players were depending on him.

That game was the most important thing in the world.

Just no way after 2 NBA players confirmed with the virus.  All you need is 1 player get sick (who is potentially spreading it to teammates, opposing players, officials, etc.) and you have to shut down the whole thing anyways, so I don't know what they are waiting for at this point.

Yep, they just didn't want the market to sink another 1000.  Announced, mercifully, after the bell.

I cancelled my trip to Port A next week. When I called the homeaway people, I asked if it was too late to cancel my reservation. "Oh no, you can still cancel."

"Oh yeah? That's good."

"You can't get any of your money refunded though".

"Then why the hell would I give a shit if I can cancel or not?"

Emphasize that you changed your plans and you are in fact coming. Make sure they can't book it out to someone else.

Just stopped into my neighborhood bar south of Blanco and the daily drinkers in there are fuckin clueless. Most of the bastards never wash their hands after pissing and appear to have no clue what is coming. I try not to touch the bar anyway but today was extra conscious. May have to boycott it for the next few weeks. Got the "more people die of the flu" comment.

This would have been a solid post.  But it went to 11 with the link.  That was the most ridiculous shit ever and really gets at what coaches think of themselves.

Link?  I thought they walked that back... because "it's complicated"

It's announced all over.  I'm the dork with a few laptops open to work/trade/porn etc and it popped up on a dozen different places.  No screenshots as I  don't want to 'NowThis' myself.

Disneyland is closing March 14th through the end of the month

Well, it's official then - the shit has truly hit the fan.  No one is more money hungry than The Mouse.

I posted this earlier, but WDW has only closed operations for a total of 7 days in all of its existence.  This will over double that closure day count.  Ho-Lee-Fuk.

Welp, the entire US is going on a 4 week quarantine starting within the next week or two. Have audio from a friend (who is also in healthcare) that i cant figure out how to upload but seems legit

I’m completely ready. Doubt the same can be said for the just the flu crowd like @Lat22 and @Incredulity and the others.
