i dont think its official but last week there were reports that MLS and USL are out of the cup. Its not clear if the cup still happens with amateur teams.
so some monterrey outlets say that they self isolated after returning. Others say they felt some symtptoms but were told to self isolate by local doctors. no tests done to them.
Judging from all the news about people in NYC getting sick, this disease seems to be much more widespread in the city than is being reported.
It’s been widespread for a while but a lack of testing has skewed numbers. So the reporting has been based on what’s known, and without testing, not much has been “known.” Blame the federal government for not accepting the WHO test kits when initially offered.
Would be interesting to know how many attendees of that match (combined supporters) are showing symptoms...... one of the last big events in the area before shutdown....
Well I’m hoping that I’m wrong but I’ve been a little under the weather, no fever, but stuffiness and headaches have been what’s bothering me. Been keeping to myself and not going out.
Going to go out on a limb and say holding that game was a very, very bad idea. It should never have happened. We were far too late to realize the seriousness of this problem.
Agreed. I really didn’t think anything of it and like you said far too late to realize how serious and real this is. Again hoping for the best, I’m taking precautions just in case, if it goes beyond stuffiness and headache I’ll be going to the ER.
Good luck. I hope it isn't the virus, and if it is, it remains mild. If you can, call the ER before heading out. Tell them you have possible Covid-19 symptoms and ask if there are special procedures you should follow when you arrive.
As to your point of realizing this too late, it seems clear in retrospect that they should have shut down public events and meetings including schools, restaurants,and places of worship about 2 weeks before they did. Of course, if they had done so, and it worked, most of us -- possibly me included -- would have complained and criticized for what would seem like an obvious overreaction given that only a few dozen people got sick and a handful died. Counterfactuals are always hard.

Really hope its not virus-related and its mostly your body having to adjust to new normals. I know for me personally, I'm doing a lot less walking, eating differently than I usually do, etc. so I wouldn't be surprised if my body reacted in some way to that.
I’ve been worried about this. If we successfully contain this thing (to the extent that’s even possible at this point) it’s almost guaranteed to feel like an insane overreaction. It’s a good bet we all relax too soon. I saw reports yesterday that the situation in New York is estimated to peak in 45 days, given current conditions and trends. But what do we do then? This thread from this morning, summarizing a study out of the U.K., is sobering:
Yeah. I saw that. Both depressing and realistic. Though I remain hopeful, I am leaning to think normal does not return in 2020.
ETA: I think if the current shutdowns work and we limit this thing to numbers lower than we currently fear, then people will react positively and credit the measures taken and the people who ordered them.
But, if as that thread suggests, we cannot return to normal until a working vaccine and/or antiviral is developed, then I also worry that people might not be able to handle the possibly necessary long term suppression efforts over several months and even a year+.

We are in peak cold and flu season (and with the warmer weather allergy season has come earlier too). Basically every item that could make people sick is here, which is making it so hard to diagnose COVID because of overlapping symptoms with those more benign seasonal sicknesses.
Just to make sure you know, the authorities are saying that if you do that, you should call ahead so they're expecting you. Otherwise you could infect other patients and doctors.
I think you'll have two boats. The people who say 'See? We overreacted for nothing' and the ones who realize how important it was.
