Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Maybe straight cancel the two games? The Canadiens on the 19th will be meaningless as both teams are (all but assured to be) out of the playoff picture. The Bruins might wrap up the top seed in the East without the Sharks. There just aren't many weeks left to fit in two cross-country trips if you push them back and they don't count for anything.

 

Oh the Onion

CDC Advises Americans To Protect Against Coronavirus By Piling Into This Here Tub For A Scrubbin’

 

Got a phone call from Mom’s ALF this morning … they don’t have an infected resident or staff member, but because there’s been a confirmed case in the area, they’re self-quarantining until further notice.

 

Friend in the San Jose area posted a message much the same on Facebook today.

 

This could very easily be American cities in a couple of weeks. Italian doctor reporting what he sees in his hospital there.

 

Once Americans get accustomed to the realization that the at-home experience is far superior to being at the games and paying ridiculous prices leagues may a struggle getting them to come back

 

Sounds like a plan.

 

These are the only trips Boston and Montreal make to San Jose this season. If they don't do an empty arena, I've seen Oracle, the Cow Palace and Stockton floated as alternate sites. Don't know if they have an ice plant in the first two and the Cow Palace isn't regulation size (among other things), but Stockton is home to Calgary's AHL team. Chase Center isn't built for hockey.

 

So, thoughts...

If you oversaw a college or school division, do you extend Spring Break by a week to give two weeks off so the virus can hopefully run its course?

Now, if you don't, can a family who had a family member die have a case against the school division in court because the division did not do everything possible to prevent the spread of the virus?
