Problem the NBA ran into was that when Gobert got the Covid, he and his teammates had to be quaranteened for 14 days. How is the NBA going to deal with a team that can't play for 2 weeks? So they had to postpone all the games.

All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
NBA is telling times to check on availability of arenas into August.
I'm guessing NFL Draft will be a throwback. Guys making picks on the phone with no fans around. Free Agency is almost here though. Not sure how they'll handle player visits.
Folks, I know some of you think this is not real, but you literally would have to be dumb as a box of rocks to think that way. Its not the flu, its not a bad cold, its a 'novel' virus, i.e. never seen before. And for some of you saying it is dumb to cancel events, I have seen graphs of daily infected of countries who are not locking down vs countries who are locking down, and its not even close. And be careful on mortality rates, I'm pretty sure the denominator is not those with symptoms, it is those who have been officially diagnosed. And in the good old USA, who does not have enough test kits yet, I am concerned we are WAY behind the curve. You can love or hate the current administration, but they also are way behind the curve, they should have been preparing when China first started having outbreaks.
Agree. For those nonsmokers in good health under 50, it's easy to be cavalier about this. I'm not going to panic and go full tilt prepper, but I sure don't want a respiratory virus or lesions on my lungs. If cancelling events can prevent the spread of this, as a practical matter it's a reasonable idea, and within the rights of the governing bodies to decide.
Risking public health for a sporting event is a weird debate to have.
And I also agree that the US is behind the curve on this. The White House has made statements that clearly contradict the government's own medical experts, and it has caused fear, confusion, and doubt. I hope they can get on the same page and make up ground on combating the severity of this virus.
Wisconsin HS Sports limiting fan attendance to spring sports events.
Girls b-ball tourney is 88 fans per team.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Yep, only buy you time. That’s the strategy.
Italy and elsewhere: they weren’t screening back in people’s travel history either. So you could be 2 steps away from wuhan and they weren’t looking.
But I confess I don’t know what the infrastructure for this looks like. Do they have teams they mobilize at an instant, how many ports of entry are there, do they check docks and container shipping, etc.
MLS suspending season.

Jazz star Donovan Mitchell has tested positive for the coronavirus, league sources tell ESPN. Jazz players privately say that Rudy Gobert had been careless in the locker room touching other players and their belongings. Now a Jazz teammate has tested positive.

Towson Athletics @TowsonTigers
Out of an abundance of caution due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States, Towson University has suspended the remainder of the athletics varsity spring season, effective immediately.
This reasoning is misplaced. Its not an abundance of caution in the face of some unknown. You are not having events to stop possible transmission at those events. Its a specific step with a specific purpose.

The Minnesota Vikings are suspending travel for coaches and scouts until further notice, following suit of other NFL franchises amid concerns of COVID-19.

May be time to revisit our views of this brave man in his N95 mask who ordered a quarantine of Manhattan over the objections of the public and whose primary foe was a man infected by a bat
