(a) in the event of suspension of operations, the Player shall be entitled only to the proportion of Paragraph 1 Salary due at the date of suspension,
(b) in the event of cessation of operations, the Paragraph 1 Salary shall be automatically canceled on the date of cessation, and

It's scary. I just lucked on to the last N95 face masks in town. Sold out everywhere, even Amazon is essentially sold out. I would gladly bail on tickets to avoid crowds if it gets worse.

The government in Canada and the WHO do not seem to be too worried.

The government of China wasn't too worried three weeks ago
5 million left Wuhan before lockdown, mayor reveals, as 1,000 new cases expected
Cat out of the bag folks. This is going to be MUCH worse than sars.
Also there is increasingly compelling evidence the rates of infections are being dramatically undercounted. Seeing the drastic measures being taken, I’d take the 2000 figure with a massive grain of salt.

Currently this virus seems to only have 4% fatalities (similar to SARS), while MERS had 25%.
One problem is that is seems to have like a 10 day incubation period. IIRC.

WebMD summary
Mapping the Outbreak of China’s Coronavirus
Bloomberg summary (2k+ diagnosed; 56 deaths)
I mean I've read it could be as high as 4 times as infectious as SARS. Not quite H1N1 levels, but you are talking about millions of people potentially catching it.
Also, this was noted a couple days ago:
New numbers are closer to what was previously reported. Again, given the drastic measures the Chinese have taken, I'd take a gander 2000 is a severe understatement in the # of cases.

So if a million people get it that is still 40,000 deaths. The regular flu has a death rate of 0.01%.

It has been announced that Chinese VHL and KHL teams will play their remaining home games in Russia.

They shutdown the league in the early 1900s thanks to the Spanish Flu.

Some people are really overreacting. Just to put it into perspective: The flu caused an estimated 34000 deaths last year and 61000 deaths the year before in the US. That's about 100 every day in the US alone. Coronavirus killed under 100 people worldwide so far.

And WHO, CDC and other agencies worldwide are closely monitoring the situation. The former has not named it a worldwide health threat/situation. Yet. Still could happen.

RIP, Jimmy.
Probably because they believed the bullshit lip service that the Chinese government was giving them. There are nurses (in China) claiming that China is lying about the number infected and it could easily be 90,000 already. Given that the Chinese government has been aggressively censoring social media related to the Coronavirus, it gives some credibility to these claims.
Additionally, from my understanding and based on what I read from BBC, what makes this particular virus so much more problematic is that unlike SARS it spreads before any symptoms show. With an incubation period that can last as long as 14 days... that is downright scary.
I think The WHO and Canadian government are being belligerently ignorant.
