These are truly wild times.

The Houston Texans are doing their part to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19.
According to a release from the team, the Texans are, “implementing certain measures to do our part to help prevent the spread of this virus.” One part of the measure is to give all staff the ability to work from home.
The Houston sports and entertainment scene has been rattled since Wednesday evening when the NBA suspended the season, MLS announced a 30-day suspension, and RodeoHouston cancelled. According to the Houston Chronicle, community spread may already be happening in the greater Houston area.
“All decisions are being made in the best interest of the health, safety and care of our Texans family and our community,” the statement from the Texans read. “We are continuing to monitor the situation and will adjust policies and provide updates as necessary.”
On Thursday, the NFL cancelled the annual owners meetings that were slated for March 29 through April 1 in Palm Beach, Fla.
