So NHL (North America ice hockey league) postponed the season due to the virus…

Not just the NHL… last 24 hours saw NBA, MSL, IMSA, F1, NASCAR, UEFA Champions League, and now probably the EPL and Super Rugby all either go closed to spectators, postponed, or outright cancelled.
And that’s just in the sporting world that I noticed. Bunch of corporate and public events cancelled; entire sections of the planet barred from traveling to other places (considering 2 of the latest 4 SA infections are people who travelled in the US, I think we and the European countries should ban travel from the US!); Italians who don’t self-isolate facing potential murder charges; the US still claiming they’re “handling the virus beautifully” while only testing very few people (if we don’t test our numbers can’t go up - think people, think!).
And this rollercoaster is still only in the first half of the track - things are still going to get even wackier.
And I had to go check for myself that this wasn’t a faked tweet. It isn’t.

Oh irony. One of the few current motorsports events that is going ahead this weekend is the WRC Rally Mexico. Guess who the main event sponsor is…

That could be a large reason why the event is still happening. They gotta try and get their sales back up.
