COVID-19 impact on Tourney?

[RUhobbit]

Am I the only fan worried that the exponential growth will cause them to play to empty arenas or even worse cancel the tourney? I feel like the latter is unlikely but I increasingly believe the former is at least possible, if not likely.

While a small concern in a life-or-death matter for the some, I’m nervous about the idea of missing this experience I’ve waited my entire adult life for. Anyone else?

Would be a typical Rutgers scenario

There are multiple threads on this, which maybe should be combined, but as I said in the other threads, given that we look to be 1-2 weeks behind the pace/trajectory of Italy and they just quarantined 16 million people in Northern Italy and are not allowing fans into SerieA soccer matches until April, at least, it would seem at least possible to likely that that will happen here, which would really suck, as I've been planning to go to any RU game anywhere. It's not helping that the US has completely bungled testing, such that we're flying blind with regard to tracking outbreaks and transmissions and will likely be seeing major outbreaks soon - hence the State of Emergency in NY and significant upticks in many locations across the country. I would also not be surprised to start seeing major quarantines in this country soon.

I have reason to believe there is a strong chance that the games will be played in empty arenas. Sucks on many levels, of course.

Only next best thing will be to gather and watch from bars.

Will there be unintended consequences? Corona virus spreading on empty beer glasses?

What percent alcohol does the cornavirus struggle to live in?
