I'm growing to suspect that MLB games will be cancelled. Or at first played in front of empty stadiums, at least.

So playing all games at Tropicana?

Harvard Tells Students To Move Out By Sunday Due To Coronavirus, Classes Moving Online

CAMBRIDGE (CBS) – Harvard University is telling students to move out of their dorms by Sunday at 5 p.m. due to the spread of coronavirus. The school plans to move classes online starting March 23.

“The goal of these changes is to minimize the need to gather in large groups and spend prolonged time in close proximity with each other in spaces such as classrooms, dining halls, and residential buildings,” Harvard President Lawrence Bacow said in a message to students.

Students were set to begin their spring break on Saturday; now they’re being told not to come back.

I am sure like most universities they have a contingent of international students that can not easily go home...wonder what they are doing for them.

Wash U (especially the business school, where I work) has cancelled all its outside seminars, and I assume they're going to make at least the first week after Spring Break online-only. So many students from overseas, etc.

Well, it sounded like the first case has been confirmed in MO and the family failed to adhere to the quarantine guidelines.

I particularly liked the post I saw on FB yesterday pointing out that people need to remember that the first case here in St. Louis and upping the potential risk of spread was by a family who is (most likely) fairly well off) and not by 'dirty, brown immigrants' as those of a certain political affiliation will try and claim if/when there are more cases here.
