No
doubt by now, you have been inundated with information about the virus believed
responsible for the pandemic that has been designated a Public Health Emergency of International Concern
by the World Health
Organization (WHO).
Much of the information is “prudent;” some
may be “panic.” This pandemic virus has already been known by several names: Wuhan coronavirus, 2019
novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), and Severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). For those
who lived through Ebola, HIV/AIDS, SARS, H1N1, Noro, etc., they know “the
drill,” so to speak. For others it may be more frightening. This does appear to
be “first” for nearly the entire Sports industries to postpone or cancel
sporting events. As a nurse epidemiologist, over the
next few days I will pass along my understanding of what is happening and valid
prevention strategies. In addition, below are some internet sites I find helpful:Sunday, March 15, 2020
