RICHMOND midfielder Lauren Tesoriero will not play this week against St Kilda as she is in isolation due to coronavirus.
Tesoriero is not displaying any symptoms and the measure is purely precautionary, as her housemate recently returned from Japan.
"Club medical staff – in conjunction with the AFL – have taken an ultra-cautious approach given she shares a house with someone who recently returned from overseas," a Richmond club statement said.

NBA already cancelled, MLS was cancelled here today. Soccer leagues globally already impacted. It is inevitable that the AFL season is going go that way too. From AFL and global body standpoint they really don't have much choice as they need to provide a duty of care to all players, staff and fans at stadiums. For them, its not worth the risk.
Fact is this isn't just some common cold. We can argue that its just a strain of the flu as much as we like. People have died, WHO has declared it an pandemic and global markets have crashed. Its not just like a virus and no percentage of deaths vs population will change that view.
THe spanish flu was just a seasonal virus too wasn't it? took out millions. Medicines improved but doesn't mean the risks are irrelevant.

Normal seasonal flu kills about 200,000 people a year n barely anyone notices.
Spanish flu, world was a completely different place a hundred years ago, medicines, sanitation, diet were all pretty basic back then. Plus the population had just come off five years of WW1, so there were massive health issues for most of the population back then.
By comparison the Coroner virus would need to wipe out about 2 billion people to have the same impact as the Spanish flu did.
The last pandemic WHO called was for H1N1 also known as Swine Flu, it killed 575,000 people before they reined it in. I remember a few saying the sky was falling, but nothing like what’s been whipped up for this.
OK, Spanish flu not best example maybe but the real point to me is that this is something that should be taken seriously. You don't shut down a whole country for a seasonal flu. This is a new strain where currently the full details are possible remedies are not known. Yes people died from the common flu but i believe the death rate compared to those who tested positive to this is actually higher, hence the concern.
Anyway, maybe its the constant USA hyperbole media that is feed to me 24-7 that is doing it. We still have dunny role here at least, so not all bad...
Starting to run low n thanks to all the *smile* imbeciles who rushed out n blew their food n rent n petrol money on a years supply of *smile* paper I might have to rip up a couple of news papers over the weekend.We still have dunny role here at least, so not all bad...
I'm led to believe some of these farkwits have now been shuffling back to the supermarkets trying to cash in their excess bog rolls for a refund and being deservedly refused.
They've proven by rushing out to buy date roll that they're not real quick on the uptake............ they'll eventually realise that they'll be able to make a motza when everyone's cashed up with their $750.
