Sporting events are dropping like flies.

The NBA season has been suspended until further notice and it's being reported that all Premier and Football League matches could be played behind closed doors as soon as this weekend. England's Test series in Sri Lanka under threat too.

Racing must be in doubt in the delay phase. An ambulance and medics are required at each track and those resources are likely to be required elsewhere.

The Players Championship golf starting today is scheduled to go ahead atm.

Watching CNBC and the key feature seems to be leaders and authorities self-contradicting and giving misinformation, from Trump saying last night all flights prohibited, then saying cargo flights not affected, then he said health authorities stated that CV treatment would be financially covered for all people, but the health insurance industry has refuted that - it's only testing that's covered, and then passengers on a stranded plane told they've nothing to worry about re an infected fellow passenger because no-one's coughing.

This confusion, especially coming from our supposed leaders, is almost as damaging as the spread itself.

And I've got a bottle of Tsingtao in the fridge that's been sitting there for 3 months!

In my opinion, it’s a great time to buy stocks or into your 401K. I would be all in... let’s see if I’m right...

Up to 590 cases today, 29% rise in 24 hours, yesterday it was 22%.

with testing being ramped up those numbers surely will rise rapidly now.

At this rate we'll soon run out of jokes and will be forced to take all this seriously.
