Now the NFL has its first confirmed corona case. Sean Payton tested positive for the virus, the head coach of the New Orleans Saints told ESPN. Payton (56) says he is slightly exhausted and will recover at home.

“Paralyze everything”
“It’s not just about social distancing,” Payton said. “You just have to shut everything down for a week or two.”

US citizens should just “take a minute to understand what the experts are saying”.

In the other major North American professional leagues, there had been cases before. A professional hockey player for the NHL club Ottawa Senators is affected, the name has not been released yet.
