Anybody around the country seeing sports shows being cancelled because of Corona

Because we live in a world where for some reason people with no expertise think their opinions are just as valid as facts.

Yep. That would be the reason. Be suspicious of informed intelligent folks. Believe hucksters and uninformed loudmouths.

Columbus sportscard show cancelled for this weekend, too! Looks like for the next few weeks or so many shows will be cancelled!

Canton Card Show cancelled as well on the 22nd.

Canton is where 2 of the 5 announced cases in Ohio are.

Portland, Oregon monthly card show is cancelled. The promoter said this is the first cancellation for him of any kind on 33 years.

The mayor of Portland declared a state of emergency. Presumably to get funding for ways to protect from worse spreading of the virus.

So the impact is pretty much everywhere now.
No way to tell yet if it is an over reaction or a sound strategy to keep more people healthy.
The flu sux, I guess this virus does too.

I firmly believe in a couple months we look back and say "We were worried about that??" Much like when the planes were supposed to drop out of the sky in Y2K.

However, I also believe that avoidance and common sense and even some overly cautious protections can and will slow this down and help greatly. Someone posted earlier about the amount of deaths from swine flu; that didn't wipe out the world, but how many of those deaths and illnesses might have been avoided if we hunkered down like we are now?

This graph makes a lot of sense to someone of my limited medical knowledge.
