Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

This may be the single busiest "sports news" day in a long time. To be followed by some of the most idle.

 

And Trump and Pence are not getting tested. Why wouldn’t they, if only to stress how important it is to get tested?

 

Because they don't possess a single ounce of leadership between them?

 

The nerds at my office all agree: If this shit hangs around, this could be a golden era for E Sports, where events can still take place without person-to-person contact.

 

Won't be a problem here. They'll just shift to "whither Tom Brady" all the time as opposed to the current 90 percent of content.

 

FYI

 

Minnesota's girls high school basketball tournament is this week. They are playing semifinal games in front of crowds right now, and plan to do so for the rest of today . . . but the finals Saturday will have limited attendance, as will all boys regional play (the boys' state tournament is next week). Given that the pool of potential attendees for both the girls semifinals and finals is basically identical, I cannot see how letting crowds continue to watch games today makes an ounce of sense.

 

It’s really easy PR. They get tested, have the official WH photog take a couple of pics, put it out there, and they get some positive pub.

This administration can’t even hit this softball.

 

This is our state championship weekend for basketball as well. No restrictions.
6 sites across the state.
They met about it last night, and sent out a tweet late saying they were going to go through with it with no restrictions.

 

Ohio just closed all schools for three weeks.
