Wisconsin HS Sports limiting fan attendance to spring sports events.
Girls b-ball tourney is 88 fans per team.
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.
B1G just cancelled the Men's Basketball tourney.

A teammate of Rudy Gobert has been diagnosed with coronavirus.
Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
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
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.
With all the conferences cancelling tourneys and now every sport stopping their seasons, I don't see how March Madness can be played.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
"dumb as a box of rocks" is what the panicky fools are that are making a big deal out of this respiratory thing. It is strictly respiratory - a little cough and sniffles, and it apparently lasts two weeks. That sounds strangely like a common cold - for which there also is no cure, and which worst case, could turn into pneumonia and kill somebody who is already sick or fragile.
And for that, they're ruining the enjoyment of basically everybody who likes sports - a colossal overreaction.
This reminds me of the weekend after the Kennedy assassination in 1963. I didn't give a shit about Kennedy, but I absolutely hated that there was no sports that weekend.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
