    USL has also suspended the season for 30 days. My company is allowing colleagues to work from home whenever they want and to move as many meetings to conference calls as possible. Along with a ban of all business travel and asking colleagues to self-quarantine (work from home) for at least 14 days after personal air/cruise travel.

    Is this confirmed? I've heard this is just a rumor.

    The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends social distancing as a way to prevent community spread of the COVID-19 virus. #OKCPS feels it is in the best interest of our students, families, staff, & the public to cancel classes & district hosted activities for Fri., March 13.

    I'd love to take you at your word, but can you please provide sources? Again, I am happy to learn from you, but I'm not going to do so blindly.

    A lot of businesses are limiting travel & preventing non-employees from coming inside the building, limiting meeting sizes as well.

    It's great to hear that. This is how you get ahead of a problem. My big takeaway from the experts is that social distancing can help flatten the curve.

    We're evaluating what to do at the Gazette.

    Because we print hard copy and distribute widely every week, we have real issues with transport, drivers delivering, etc.

    Almost every single business and organization is being affected in some way.

    OKC's first known case making it the epicenter for the NBA suspending it's season will have that effect. I know that made me take it more seriously.

    Man, OKC has a way of getting itself into the big middle of things....not even trying...

    Something I thought I might ask you to start tracking amongst your sources...the OKC Memorial Marathon next month.

    Given that runners from around the country/world convene on OKC for that event, it would seem that it is necessarily going to be under review at some point, and probably soon.

    Now, just to make it absolutely clear - I am *asking* for info - I am NOT in any way suggesting or implying that I know anything - it just came to mind that its a huge event for OKC and would seem very much in question under current circumstances.

    They already posted on social media they are tracking the conditions and will take appropriate response. If things don't improve dramatically I'm sure it will be cancelled/postponed.

    I posted this in the OKC Covid thread, but the University of Kansas and Duke has suspended all athletic operations. That's 2 banner basketball schools who won't participate in the NCAA tournament. So yeah, it's not happening.

    I have absolutely been wondering about the Marathon, I don't see how they don't cancel or delay it and still be operating in the public's best interests. Bad year for it too, this was the second "changing the course!" year with the final map using Scissortail Park as the new finishing location.

    I have a policy of discounting anyone making unfounded assertions with no reliable source on any Social Media. There are very few on this website, but BoulderSooner definitely fits that description.
