And now the NBA has suspended the current season indefinitely. OMG

I think part of the worry is it has the potential to mutate and come back as a different strain every year, or every couple years. I have seen spanish flu comparisons and final numbers may be something similar. (although spanish flu numbers are hard to pin down.) Still I think we are in the early stages so really it is hard to know. I'm just glad with two very young ones at home that children seem to be relatively unaffected.

On a side note, Tom Hanks and his wife tested positive today.
