-I want to speak with you
about our nation's
unprecedented response
to the coronavirus outbreak
that started in China and is now
spreading throughout the world.
Today, the World
Health Organization
officially announced that this
is a global pandemic.
To keep new cases
from entering our shores,
we will be suspending
all travel from Europe
to the United States
for the next 30 days.
The new rules will go into
effect Friday at midnight.
-Starting tomorrow, NBA
play is suspended,
and then the league
is going to use that hiatus
to decide their next steps,
how they'll go forward.
But this is the last night
of NBA games
for the foreseeable future.
-Mark, first reaction.
We got the shot of you reacting
on the phone and seeing it.
First reaction and thought
when you learned
that the season
had been suspended?
-This is crazy.
This can't be true.
I mean, it's not within
the realm of possibility.
It's just it seemed more
like out of a movie
than reality.
