[Herky] NCAA tournament canceled in response to coronavirus

[Gwen McNatt Enokian]

Frankly, I am angry.  Last week alone, over 300 people died from
influenza.  Less than 40 have died in US and 22 of those in the same
building.  This is just mass hysteria.  I am not saying that we should not
take it lightly but this seems like overreaction to me.  In some ways, we
will never know (I sincerely hope so) as we won't know how bad it COULD
have been.

Just venting
