I'll try to keep it to the major updates, but the shit is hitting the fan full-scale.

  • All schools in the state of Maryland are closing down for two weeks.
  • And the National Guard has been activated in the state, marking at least the second National Guard declaration over the coronavirus.
  • Ohio:  Three weeks.  
  • San Francisco:  Three weeks. 
  • Atlanta:  Two weeks, some may become truly indefinite.
  • Puget Sound region of Washington:  SIX WEEKS. 
  • Ohio State University is closing down all in-person instruction for the rest of the school year and ordering students to go home.
  • A task force of major players in the music touring industry have shuttered the entire touring music industry at least through the end of March. 
  • No word on Wrestlemania YET, but tomorrow night's Smackdown weekly show has been moved to the WWE's private Performance Center. 
  • Spain's major soccer league, La Liga, is out two weeks.  Real Madrid is now under quarantine.
  • UEFA is holding a conference call next Tuesday, probably expected to cancel this year's Champions' and Europa Leagues and consider postponing Euro 2020. 
  • Now reports from France are saying Euro 2020 is off; it'll be Euro 2021.
  • And this will probably aid in sealing that deal as at least postponed:  Arsenal's head coach has tested positive for the virus and the team has been quarantined. 
  • As a result, this weekend's Arsenal match is postponed and an emergency meeting to shut down the English Premier League is scheduled for tomorrow.
