of the NCAA tournament or playing the tournament behind closed doors. It's inevitable that the NBA will follow suit. It only makes sense.

Several NCAA Conference Tournaments have already been canceled.

Italy has cancelled all sporting events in its country.

A virus is replicated via the cells of a host. So the amount of hosts or people populating an area must be reduced or banned until the virus hopefully runs its course or a vaccine can be created to prevent people from getting infected.

Germany reported that up to 70 percent of its population could become infected.

I don't think the NBA playoffs are going to take place, with how the virus is progressing in the US. NY set up the first containment zone.

This generation or era of people have never experienced an health outbreak such as the spanish flu or bubonic plague, which is why there are lot of people who are in disbelief or apathetic about it.

This is no joke, and hopefully over time this virus can be stopped. Entertainment, sports, etc are all secondary. I will just enjoy as many games as can.

WHO has already declared it to be a global pandemic
