This is Getting Real

In the last 24 hours:
  • The NBA has suspended its season. Major conferences have cancelled basketball tournaments and the NCAA has decided to hold national tournament games in empty stadiums (stadia for grammar nerds). 
  • The Dow has lost 3,500 points (9:45 am) 
  • The president gave a national address in which he misstated his own policy and blamed the pandemic on foreigners. 
  • High profile celebrities (Tom Hanks) and politicians (Nadine Dorries in the UK) have announced they have contracted the coronavirus. 
Things are getting serious fast. Where will this end?
