Message from an Italian physician working in a hospital overwhelmed with COVID patients (slide down a bit below his photo for the translation. He’s talking about what happens in healthcare when the initial wave hits, due to lack of early and aggressive public health measures.

Note: Lombardy, the region in northern Italy, is the most developed part of a Italy with excellent healthcare. We’re not talking about Sicily. Please think about your neighbors and relatives, even if you aren’t particularly worried for yourself.

There's no way this doesn't affect March Madness. I bet it either gets cancelled completely or is played in empty arenas.

No way it gets canceled. It may be in empty arenas, but there’s too much money involved for them to cancel it.

ZERO chance of xcl'ing it.

I live in Orlando and I think **** is going to hit the fan in Florida soon. The massive amounts of tourists we get won’t help

Spring break arrives next week -- spread there is inevitable.

UTK is as well

I agree that it isn't likely to happen, but the chance is definitely there if the spread continues as expected. If there are travel restrictions or players/contacts are diagnosed, it could become impossible to play.

Does having an autoimmune disorder like Hashimoto’s disease make a person more prone to complications from a virus like this current one?

I would think no, as long as thyroid replacement is at the appropriate dose.
