Friday, April 3, 2020 7BThe Telegraph

NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Base-ball has canceled a two-game series in London between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Car-dinals because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The teams had been scheduled to play at Olym-pic Stadium on June 13-14.

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred made the announcement in a memorandum sent to MLB employees. MLB said March 19 that it had scrapped series in Mexico City and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

“We made the decision because it was unlikely the events would go forward, and timely cancel-lation allowed us to preserve important finan-cial resources,” Manfred wrote. “We also have canceled agreements with service providers and delayed projects that involve large capital expen-ditures.”

MLB played in Europe for the first time last June 29-30, when the New York Yankees swept a pair of games from the Boston Red Sox in Lon-don.

Opening day was to have been March 26, and MLB has delayed the start of its season until mid-May at the earliest.

A pair of games between Arizona and San Diego had been slated for April 18-19 at Alfredo Harp Helú Stadium, which were to have been the first regular-season MLB games in Mexico City. The New York Mets and Miami had been scheduled to play a three-game series at Hiram Bithorn Sta-dium in San Juan from April 28-30.

Manfred also referenced last week’s agreement with the players’ association in which teams agreed to provide $170 million in advance pay and the union agreed not to make claims for additional pay. As part of the deal, if the season is scrapped, players would receive service time for 2020 match-ing what they received in 2019.

“The agreement provided much needed cer-tainty to our clubs and avoided a confrontation with the players’ association at a time when our country has limited tolerance for petty squabbles,” Manfred wrote. “Most important, I truly believe that the agreement is a necessary first step toward getting the game back on the field.”

Athletic directors at the nation’s biggest sports schools are trying to find a way to communicate to their teams, coaches and athletic department staff members how they’re making it through the coronavirus pandemic, while at the same time bracing for a related potential financial crisis.

According to a survey released Thursday by LEAD1, an association of athletic directors from 130 major college football schools, 63 percent fore-cast a worst-case scenario in which their revenues decrease by at least 20 percent during the 2020-21 school year. Even an abbreviated football sea-son could cause schools to lose that much.

Illinois athletic director Josh Whitman produced a 10-minute video on social media recently, discussing what he and his staff plan to do in order to provide a level of comfort, stabil-ity and confidence to all Illini fans despite still abiding by the respon-sible social distancing protocols.

“Now when we all have to retreat to our respec-tive homes, we all feel like something is miss-ing,” Whitman said in the video. “We’re trying to find ways to connect. One of the goals we have in the weeks and months or however long it may be is we’re going to try to connect.”

The video, which included several moments where Whitman’s voice tone gets emotional, included a tour of Whit-man’s converted base-ment/workout room of his home where he has a Peloton bike, tread-mill and a weight bench provided to him by Ron Turner, Whitman’s former head football coach at Illinois and a motivational sign given to him by A.J. Rickard, who was Whit-man’s head football coach

at Harrison High School in West Lafayette, Indi-ana.

LEAD1 and Team-works, a company that created an app designed to help keep teams and athletic departments connected, conducted the survey of more than 100 ADs from schools in Division I’s Football Bowl Subdivision. “The State of Athletics in the Face of the Coronavirus” pro-vides a sobering glimpse of the top concerns for the wealthiest athletic departments in the coun-try.

The NCAA canceled winter and spring sports on March 12, separating thousands of college ath-letes from teammates and coaches and leaving them unable to practice and compete.

Athletic directors sur-veyed said their greatest concerns about their ath-letes over the next three months were academic progress, mental health and a lack of resources for them while off campus.

And then there are the financial concerns.

Canceling the men’s Division I basketball tour-

nament cost the NCAA $375 million it was sched-uled to distribute to its member schools.

Asked for their worst-case scenario analysis, 65 percent of the athletic directors said revenue for the 2019-20 fiscal year would drop from 0-20 percent, including 35 percent expecting a decrease ranging from 0-10 percent.

Trying to make up $5 million in lost revenue from basketball tourna-ment cancellations, Iowa State has announced a one-year, temporary pay reduction for coaches and certain staff to save more than $3 million. The school will also suspend bonuses for coaches for a year to save an additional $1 million.

In the LEAD1 survey, 40 percent of the 95 ADs who responded said they approve and strongly approve when asked if they believe high earners should voluntarily offer to make a personal financial sacrifice during the crisis; about 15 percent disap-proved or strongly disap-proved.

Football season is six

months away and for most FBS schools it is by far the biggest revenue driver. Any disruption to the football season could be devastating to college sports because that revenue funds just about every other athletic program.

“We often hear from ADs and MMR (multi-media rights) sellers that around 85 percent of revenue comes from foot-ball,” said Matt Balvanz, senior vice president for analytics for Navigate, a sports marketing consult-ing firm.

He said the average Power Five school makes around $120 million in revenue per year, “which means roughly $100 mil-lion per year from foot-ball.”

For the average Power Five team, a home game is worth $14 million, including its value from a television rights deals, which is over 10 percent of average total revenue. The average Power Five school gets some $30 million in ticket sales. If 85 percent of that is from football, that’s a loss of $25 million.

TOKYO (AP) — Before the Olympics were postponed, Japan looked like it had coronavirus infections contained, even as they spread in neighboring countries. Now that the games have been pushed to next year, Tokyo’s cases are spik-ing, and the city’s governor is requesting that people stay home, even hinting at a possible lock-down.

The sudden rise in the number of virus cases in Tokyo and the government’s strong actions imme-diately after the Olympic postponement have raised questions in parliament and among citizens about whether Japan understated the extent of the outbreak and delayed enforcement of social distancing measures while clinging to hopes that the games would start on July 24 as scheduled.

With the Olympics now off, many are voicing suspicion that the numbers are rising because Japan suddenly has no reason to hide them.

“In order to make an impression that the city was taking control of the coronavirus, Tokyo avoided making strict requests and made the number of patients look smaller,” former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama said in a tweet. “The coronavirus has spread while they waited. (For Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike) it was Olympics first, not Tokyo’s residents.”

Experts have found a rise of untraceable cases mushrooming in Tokyo, Osaka and other urban areas — signs of an explosive increase in infec-tions.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Saturday that Japan is now on the brink of a huge jump in cases as it becomes increasingly difficult to trace and keep clusters under control.

“Once infections overshoot, our strategy … will instantly fall apart,” Abe warned. “Under the cur-rent situation, we are just barely holding up.” He said a state of emergency is not needed just yet, but that Japan could at any time face a situation as bad as in the United States or Europe.

There was less of a sense of urgency displayed recently when many people visited parks for cher-ry blossom viewing, and Abe was only hinting at an Olympic postponement. But in a phone call with International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach last Tuesday, Abe agreed to post-pone the games until around the summer of 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

A day later, Koike asked Tokyo residents to stay home weekends until mid-April, saying confirmed cases of the coronavirus had shot up to 41 in a day from 16 earlier in the week. On Saturday, Tokyo reported 63 new cases, another single-day record. Koike said that infections in Tokyo were on the brink of an explosive increase, and that stronger measures, including a lockdown, could be needed if the spread of the virus doesn’t slow.

Jim Klug’s office phone rings off the hook with anxious anglers inquiring about the status of their upcoming fly-fishing trips.

It’s a stressful time for the co-owner of a fishing travel company as he postpones and re-books inter-national and domestic expeditions due the coronavirus pandemic.

The best way for him to slip away from the stress — even if for a brief moment — is to follow a bit of his own advice: Go fish.

Whether it’s reeling in trout, hiking, snow activities (until the snow melts, of course) or any other endeavor, the call from the wild delivers a much-needed respite in these turbulent times.

Typically open — although national parks are increasingly limiting access and more shelter-at-home orders are being issued — the great outdoors provides a natural way to social distance.

“They may close the borders. The may close the amusements and the sports stadiums and any places that lots and lots of people gather. But they’re not going to close the great outdoors and not going to close the rivers and streams,” said Klug, founder of Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures in Montana. “It’s something that always brings inner peace and calmness.”

In New England, where back-woods skiing and hiking to 4,000

feet are almost a way of life for har-dier residents, the trails are more crowded than ever. Hikers report they are seeing plenty of newcom-ers who are hitting the outdoors due to gym closures.

Those remote places? Not so remote right now. Many seasoned hikers are getting annoyed that their prized spots are getting over-run.

Then again, everyone has the same thought — get a breath of fresh air.

“It’s to get that sunlight, some vitamin D. I know it will make me feel better. I feel rested,”said Ryan Smith, the 37-year-old owner of a media company from Peabody, Massachusetts, on why he is still taking day hikes with his wife, Jennifer, along trails on the North Shore of Massachusetts and south-ern New Hampshire.

Emily Davenport, who normally works as a wilderness guide for the Appalachian Mountain Club, has been canceling group hikes she leads until at least the end of April. She’s still hitting the trails in the White Mountains near her home in Conway, New Hampshire, for day hikes, either alone or with a friend. For the 30-year-old, it’s a chance to recharge and escape the cabin fever that so many people working from home are feeling.

“It’s a place that I feel safe. It’s familiar and you do get away,” Davenport said, adding that her day hikes of five to eight miles are critical for her mental and physical health. “You can kind of unplug

and not look at the (computer) screen and look at the all the news that is anxiety-inducing.”

Skiers and snowboarders, mean-while, are finding ways to hit the slopes with many ski resorts now closed in the wake of the new coro-navirus.

Drew Anderson, a freelance vid-eographer from Denver, was at his condo in Silverthorne, Colorado, with the intent of spending a week — maybe longer — getting in some turns on the slopes. But then resorts shut down.

Plan B: back-country skiing.He’s been hiking to the top of

Buffalo Mountain — about a three-hour trek — and then skiing down. Anderson and his wife have also been taking their 4-year-old son sledding and hiking.

“The vibe up here in the moun-tains seems pretty happy,” Ander-son said. “Everyone seems to be in a good mood. We’re in the moun-tains and that makes everyone a little bit happier.”

For those not well-versed in back-country activities, though, an important message: Check the avalanche report for the area. An avalanche is always a concern this time of year on any snow-covered slope 30 degrees or steeper.

“Anyone who travels in the back country, snow bikers, skiers, snow-shoers, anyone that wants to recre-ate on snow-covered slopes needs to be aware of avalanches,” said Brian Lazar, deputy director of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center.

NEW YORK — The corona-virus outbreak has thrown 10 million Americans out of work in just two weeks in the swiftest, most stunning collapse the U.S. job market has ever witnessed, and the public health crisis deep-ened in New York City, where a funeral home in a hard-hit neigh-borhood had 185 bodies stacked up Thursday — more than triple normal capacity.

The dire news of a record-shattering 6.6 million new unemployment claims, on top of last week’s unprecedented 3.3 million, came as economists warned unemployment could reach levels not seen since the Depression.

Competition for scarce ventila-tors, masks and other protective gear seemed to grow more des-perate and deaths mounted with alarming speed in Italy, Spain and New York, the most lethal hot spot in the United States, with nearly 2,400 lives lost.

Worldwide the number of confirmed infections hit another gloomy milestone — 1 million, with more than 50,000 deaths, according to the tally kept by Johns Hopkins University. But the true numbers are believed to be much higher because of test-ing shortages, many mild cases that have gone unreported and suspicions that some countries are covering up the extent of their outbreaks.

The mounting economic fall-out almost certainly signals the onset of a global recession, with job losses that are likely to dwarf those of the Great Recession more than a decade ago.

“My anxiety is through the roof right now, not knowing what’s going to happen,” said Laura Wieder, laid off from her job managing a now-closed sports bar in Bellefontaine, Ohio.

About half of all working Americans report some kind of income loss affecting them or a member of their household because of the epidemic, and poor people and those without college degrees are especially likely to have lost a job, accord-ing to a poll from The Associ-ated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

With over 240,000 people infected in the U.S. and the death toll topping 5,800, sober-ing preparations were under way. The Federal Emergency Management Agency asked the Pentagon for 100,000 body bags because of the possibility funeral homes will be overwhelmed, the military said.

Corpses in white plastic were already overwhelming the Dan-iel J. Schaefer Funeral Home in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, on Thursday. Usually equipped to handle 40-60 bodies at a time, it was taking care of 185. Masked workers fielded phoned calls and handled file folders labeled “COVID-19” in yellow high-lighter.

Owner Pat Marmo said he’s been begging families to insist hospitals hold their dead loved ones as long as possible: “This is a state of emergency,” he said. “We need help.”

The Democratic Party pushed its nominating convention back a month, to mid-August. Federal authorities proposed a $611,000 fine against the Seattle-area nursing home connected to at least 40 coronavirus deaths, accusing it of infractions that included failure to report and rapidly manage the outbreak. And a days-long standoff in Florida was resolved when pas-sengers aboard two cruise ships that have had several coronavi-rus cases and four deaths won permission to come ashore.

Elsewhere around the world, the number of people applying for welfare benefits in Britain increased nearly tenfold to

almost 1 million in the past cou-ple of weeks. At least a million in Europe are estimated to have lost their jobs over the same period, and the actual number is probably far higher. Spain alone added over 300,000 to its unem-ployment rolls in March.

But the job losses there appear to be far smaller than in the U.S. because of Europe’s greater social safety nets.

With its health care system in dire shape, Spain reported a record one-day number of deaths, 950, bringing its overall toll to about 10,000, despite signs that the infection rate is slowing.

Italy recorded 760 more deaths, for a total of 13,900, the worst of any country, but new infections continued to level off.

France recorded a running total of about 4,500 deaths in hospitals, with 471 in the past day. But officials expect the overall toll to jump significantly because they are only now start-ing to count deaths in nursing homes and other facilities for older people.

White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx said U.S. infection data suggest not enough Americans are heeding social distancing guidelines, and the country must do better in order to emu-late those European nations that have begun “to bend their curves.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo warned that New York could run out of breathing machines in six days. He complained that states are competing against each other for protective gear and breath-ing machines, or are being out-bid by the federal government, in a competition he likened to being on eBay.

In France, a top health official in the country’s hard-hit eastern region said American officials swooped in at a Chinese airport to spirit away a planeload of masks that France had ordered.

Nine leading European univer-sity hospitals warned they will run out of essential medicines for COVID-19 patients in inten-sive care in less than two weeks.

A shipment of nearly 5,900

medical masks that Alabama’s Montgomery County received from the U.S. government stockpile was unusable because of dry rot, the emergency man-agement director said. The masks had a 2010 expiration date, according to the city of Montgomery.

The Trump administration was formalizing new guidance to recommend Americans wear coverings such as non-medical masks, T-shirts or bandannas over their mouths and noses when out in public, while reserving medical-grade masks, particularly the short-in-supply N95 variety, for those dealing directly with the sick.

Trump invoked the Defense Production Act on Thursday in hopes of boosting produc-tion of medical-grade masks by Minnesota-based 3M to assist first responders.

Washington is also trying to crack down on a growing black market for protective medical supplies, Defense Production Act policy coordinator Peter Navarro said.

Rajanish Kakade | APA civic worker sanitizes the area outside Chhatrapati Shivaji terminus railway station during a lockdown to control the spread of the coronavirus in Mumbai, India, Thursday. India’s 21-day lockdown has effectively kept 1.3 billion people at home for all but essential trips to places like markets or pharmacies. The steps were taken after a nationwide lockdown announced last week by Prime Minister Narendra Modi led to a mass exodus of migrant workers from cities to their villages, often on foot and without food and water, raising fears that the virus may have reached to the countryside, where health care facilities are limited.
