I hate to be the one to say this. But, BJJ is going to put most people at an extremely high risk for Corona Virus. The very nature of what we do is the a perfect storm for catching this disease. This is something you may want to consider.
The virus will come here too (USA). It will probably hit the USA the hardest because of the mistakes being made right now.
The CDC is doing every single thing wrong an organization can do. They refuse to test in the USA unless you have been to China or you have been exposed to a known carrier. This is especially dumb because asymptomatic people can transmit this disease. People can be asymptomatic for up to 27 days. The best time to stop a pandemic is at the beginning stages. Because this has an R0 of >6, it is going to be unstoppable with the head start that it has been given.
The CDC seems to have the retarded strategy of - if you don't test for a disease, you can't have an epidemic. This is similar to a 2 year old covering their eyes to make the world go away.
Two of my favorite BJJ phrases ...
Defend early
"You screwed up a long time ago" (in reference to the guy with a person mounted on their chest)
CA (my home state) has 8000 people that have been told to self isolate. They have tested almost NONE of them. This has about as much chance of working as the karate guy who says he is going to grab my balls to get out of my mount. Pure stupidity.
It is bad. Really bad.
