All of this over a virus that one guy who has it called a '2 out of 10'

A few patients with the virus who were interviewed by The Associated Press — all of them passengers on the Diamond Princess cruise ship that ended up quarantined off Japan — described symptoms that were no stronger than a regular cold.
“It’s been a 2 on a scale of 10,” said Carl Goldman, hospitalized in Omaha, Nebraska, since Feb. 17, after developing a 103-degree fever on a chartered flight from Japan to the U.S.
Goldman is staying hydrated with Gatorade. He said he continued coughing more than two weeks after he first got sick, but would probably only have missed one day of work if he had been diagnosed with the cold or flu. He stays active by pacing in his room, trying to match his pre-sickness routine of 10,000 daily steps on the pedometer.

... And Tom Hanks' son said his parents aren't even really sick.


This is the most overblown hysteria I've ever seen.


Play without crowds...no neutral site games. Higher seed plays at home to lessen travel. That's fine. 50 ppl in an empty 20,000 seat arena won't cause a 'pandemic'


A reminder, 38 ppl in the US have died in 2 months and 20-something of them were in 1 nursing home in Washington. The elderly are vulnerable. That's about it.


Swine flu was contracted by 59 million Americans, killed 12,000. Did every sport stop then?

These are only facts.
