Well, just after 5pm ET:
- Juventus Soccer player
- NBA player
- Tom Hanks
- Nebraska hoops coach?
After what happened tonight, you can see how even playing games without fans is risky because players and coaches can be disease transmitters to each other.
The Utah Jazz are now under quarantine for 14 days. They played Toronto, Detroit, and Boston since Friday. And tonight’s Pels- Kings game was called off because an official who did the Utah-Toronto game on Monday was on the ref crew.
The NCAA will have no choice but to cancel March Madness after what happened so fast tonight.
Nebraska's coach released from the hospital, no quarantine. Common cold.

Very sad, in and of itself. . . .
That said, it might be fun, in a depraved sort of way, to start a pool seeing which Cardboarder contracted it first. . . .
I'm likely at most risk, considering how many patients I see everyday with fever and cough. Only 6 today, which is quite low compared to my usual day. On Friday I saw about 20 with that description. If I'm not the first, someone is really unlucky.
I don't see any logic at all to this European travel ban. We should have done it 4 weeks ago. Now, it's just spitting into the wind. We have so many community cases out there that I'm not sure it accomplishes anything. Maybe we'll stop a few individuals from coming into the country with it. I know we have thousands (likely tens of thousands) of cases inside the country already, so epidemiologically it won't have an effect. This sounds like something a bunch of White House staffers cobbled together without input from the CDC.
