True March madness

The covid-19 turmoil has led to orders to minimize large groups - and sports organizations have responded. NBA, MLS, MLB and NCAA games are either delayed into April or scrubbed completely. No March Madness basketball.. that's fine by me but a huge blow to casual gamblers who claim they don't actually gamble. Even the PGA is acting by removing spectators after today's first round of the Players championship! And my brother and grandson lost the Shamrock Run spring ritual that was to happen next week.

Add these to cancellations of concerts, Broadway plays, Presidential election rallies and other large assemblies (hmm, southern megachurches?) and it's time to self-quarantine and watch the effects on society.. and maybe some golf.

It will be a strange March. And probably April, and ..no one knows how much longer..

Update - golf tournament stopped after one round, Masters 'postponed'. No watching golf either!
