Inter Milan vs Ludogorets in Milan for the Europa League showdown
SPORTS AND CORONA USED TO GO WELL WITH EACH OTHER, BUT NOT ANYMORE!
Amid the Covid-19 outbreak, there are many questions being asked and answers being searched for.
We all have been watching, asking ourselves, “Should we be worried?” Now I see this is a popular
question of the topic, so I’m going to ask some different questions revolving around the situation which,
arguably, are more valuable at this point.

In this article, it says many cruise ships and such have been quarantined at sea at this time.
With ships being stopped in sea and the virus spreading quickly, should we start taking more serious
measures to stop the spread? Now it seems too early to stop all exports and imports but there seems
to be certain businesses that obviously put employees more at risk to catching the virus. I think we should
definitely be thinking about when it would be a good time to stop imports and exports, as well. Considering
that person to person contact and cough residue are the main factors of spreading the Coronavirus, many
have proposed non contact with any items or people and such from the areas where the virus is spreading.
What do you think about this option?

Some other question topics have included if we should keep sporting events going with the virus at large.
In some places, such as Italy, soccer games are being postponed or being played inside empty stadiums
due to fear of the virus spreading in large masses. The United States has played with the idea, although it
was met with some backlash, such as Lebron James saying that he would “not play basketball if there was
no one there to watch.” I think that as of this point, where there is a known amount of over 250 cases in the
US we should be okay to keep sporting events going for now. Although, if this situation progresses, it might
seem like a logical solution. Do you think we should take measures on sporting events now or put it into
consideration for the future?

With COVID-19 booming throughout the world and having schools/businesses shut down it seemed like a good idea of having sporting events with no audience members; however, now with members of the NBA/other sports leagues being affected, canceling all the events makes sense. These measures we have taken on sporting events seem practical because of the pandemic situation we are in right now. I don't think it is something we need to consider these restrictions when the virus/any other pathogen has not affected anyone. But if we say that the number of COVID-19 cases is slowed to a stop and we have "flattened the curve" I do not think it would be a good idea to allow the public to carry out their normal, social lives since another outbreak could happen. What we need is a vaccine in order for everyone to carry out their daily lives and that might take 12-18 months. Also, after listening to medical specialists on CNBC, they have stated that we might be able to come out of the shelter in place over the summer, which might be a hopeful statement in itself....
