Other sports, too. My favorite, Formula 1 racing, is in trouble. The MacLaren team withdrew from sunday's first-in-season Australian GP after a team member tested positive for coronavirus, and there are unconfirmed rumors that the whole race will be canceled. (F1.com isn't saying that yet, but one of the top drivers, Sebastian Vettel, said in a news conference that drivers would "pull the handbrake" on the race if they didn't feel safe.)

The upcoming Chinese GP is being rescheduled, and the first-ever Vietnam GP might also fall victim. Bahrain GP is scheduled for Mar 22, so if Australia gets canceled, Bahrain probably will too.

This is a huge and extremely expensive sport, one of the most popular and lucrative in the world, with teams shipping dozens of personnel and many tons of equipment all over the world. The logistics are a nightmare if it gets changed.
