The Coronavirus and College Basketball's Postseason

It feels like the world is stopping. This is surreal.

I'm a Humana employee and they have notified us that anybody who has the ability to work at home should.

You guys/gals may have to join Matt Dillon and me. The Players Championship is on Golf Channel. Other sports are done.

It is and it's confusing. Taking precautions is definitely critical, however it seems like we have now jumped WAY past that.

Yeah, all of us are potential carriers though.

I understand that, but adults are going to exhibit obvious symptoms that are likely more severe the older you are. We'll be obvious carriers. Kids can be carriers and not be obvious for the entire duration of the virus in their system, or not until they've been around quite a few people.

Boyle County Schools in Kentucky closes for four weeks.

That really puts pressure on parents of young kids, I would imagine. Crap. We've got a teenager and a preteen and I'm ready for a nap after about four minutes.

It absolutely would. I have to kids under 3 years old and if their daycare closes, I have no idea what we'll do as it relates to work. We can work from home, but I can't imagine how much of a strain it would put on us.

NCAAT is done...only a matter of time until they announce it.

@GaryParrishCBS

Duke University has implemented a suspension that "applies to all athletic competitions and practices for the health and safety of all who are essential to these activities.” So you can see where this is headed. We’re not going to play an NCAA Tournament next week without Duke.

The NCAA is going to let Duke dictate its decisions?

Obviously, it doesn't matter since this is where it was headed anyway, but this seems presumptive of Duke.

Lot of speculation that Fayette Co. schools and Jefferson Co. schools will cancel until after spring break, at least. Announcement to be made later this afternoon.

My daughter in Seattle said their public schools are closed. That's a city of over 3 million people and it's a ghost town.

I don't think Duke will be alone in this.

[KCKUKFan]

I don't think Duke will be alone in this.

Probably not, but I'd still let the governing body make the final decisions.

[Blue Heaven]

Remember that scene in Close Encounters when Dreyfuss rips his mask off because he was convinced nothing was wrong? Yep. Same feeling here.

Kansas just announced the same thing. NCAAT is not happening (at least not next week)

They're not going to be able to push it back too much.

These kids have career decisions to make. They're not going to be playing into the summer.
