Yikes. NBA season postponed (not that I care lol) but now THIS?
The Indy Car race in my town is still going forward as planned this weekend though, and I'm planning on attending.
There is only one reported case in the immediate area and a handful in about a 100 mile radius
Odds they cancel Australia? i have to think pretty high
UGH! McClaren withdraws from Australia GP after team member tests positive for coronavirus. This really casts a pall over the whole season now.

The NBA call really surprised me - didn't think it'd be so drastic. Figured they'd just postpone the next few Jazz games.
According to some twitter posts, all team principals are in a meeting "right now" to discuss the situation.
Right now would be the middle of the night lol.
There was already supposedly a meeting supposed to take place 7AM Friday (Aus time so that would be in just under 7 hours from now.)
Yep^ waste of time and Lots of money for sure agreedCanceling makes sense I think. What doesn't make sense is letting the teams spend truck loads of money going there & then canceling.
Edit.... Looks like Indy in St Pete is in jeopardy too.

Seeing multiple sources that Australian Grand Prix is canceled
Most likely yesI live in the city where the Indycar race is/was being held this weekend.
This morning they suspended ticket sales and said the public would not be allowed to spectate, but the race may still run.
But since this AM, MLS and NHL has suspended their seasons, and F1 canceled their race, and 12 hours of Sebring has been moved to November.
So I bet the St. Pete GP will be totally called off as well.
