Austria and Switzerland have both confirmed cases now. Bahrain confirmed 9 today.

I saw Dick Pound trending in the US, so I knew instantly that the news was bad:

The game just reached the master levels now.

 

Everyone in Europe travels to everywhere on the continent. If one country has it, it's pretty much guaranteed every country will have it.

 

The cases will pile up now. Nothing official here, but with the amount of people coming and going to Italy alone, it's unavoidable...

 

Sports are really going to be shaken now.

Losing China was just as bad because they host everything. I agree sports are about to be hit hard though. I’m hoping I still feel safe to attend the Pan Am Climbing Qualifier when it comes around this weekend.

Much like the biathlon IBU Cups I like to visit, that sounds like something maybe 3 people attend so you should be safe

Well there’s a huge climbing community in Los Angeles, and it’s a first time sport. There’s also the upcoming LA games, so there will definitely be some heightened interest. 
 

At the moment, I believe I’ll be fine, but if cases start springing up in US...

I’d rather stay home and play if safe, especially since my sister has a weak immune system (kidney issues).

First case in Brazil has been confirmed at the state of Sao Paulo. Two patients (both from the Northeast region, one from Bahia and another from my state Pernambuco) await confirmation. All three of them have been to Italy recently.
