Kiraly sent an e-mail to US players where he said that USAV CEO Jamie David had composed a letter requesting urgent cooperation in assisting all American players to return home.
I don't have news about Hill and Ogobgu, but all the other US players in Serie A came back in America, where they will be under 14 days quarantine

I'm not sure why Kim Hill would want to come home. She's the starter on the best team in Europe and it's only March. There is April and May and even parts of June to try and save the CL championships and maybe even a modified Series A final. Conegliano is her home away from home and she's hanging out with her best friends. Besides Italy is already past the US in rolling out remedies to remediate the cv19 effects. They at least are testing people. We have already seen that cv19 has little effect on young people. Rudy G having very minor cold like symptoms. Has anyone seen the chaos at our airports. Why put yourself at risk to come home now. Besides we know that Karch isn't going to start her in any case.

The outbreak shows no sign of abatement in Italy. I doubt things will get back on track on April 3rd.

The minute you post a Breitbart article you lose any modicum of credibility you might have. Find another source.

You might take a moment to read the NY Times article.

Two things that have caused such a catastrophic death rate in Italy (368 dead in a single day yesterday):
1)Series of early mistakes due to lax attitude by the authorities (at least in part because they were hit so early) caused the infection to spread much faster and much more widely then it could have.
2)Collapse of health-care system due to such a massive and quick spread, leading to, among other things, all those who were in the hospitals for whatever reason getting infected (and those are people with weak and compromised immune systems). They constitute majority of the casualty figures.

And speaking of Italy and Italians, they have a message (more like a warning) for Americans, you could end up like us in 10 days with exponential growth in cases if you still dismiss this as no more than a flu and scoffed at those taking precautions like wearing a face mask or using a hand sanitizer:

This is a severe example of the Italian situation. This man, Luca Franzese, states that her sister has died of the virus while under quarantine (her body still remain on the bed behind him), yet no one, not the medical doctors, funeral parlour or other institutions responded to his call for help:

That Italian man story is very depressing. But here is something to show the resilient spirit of Italians under lockdown, singing across balconies to cheer each other up. Even when they are isolated in their own homes and have to practice social distancing, they can find creative ways to keep up their spirit:

Even when they are isolated in their own homes and have to practice social distancing, they can find creative ways to keep up their spirit: I assumed Italians (and Spaniards and Brazilians) did this every day, even without the coronavirus outbreak.

So that just leaves Hill, Kingdon, Robinson, MBH, Thompson, and Carlini still overseas? What about Wilhite, Seliger-Swenson, Lee, Rivers, JWO, Jones-Perry etc....(Brazil, Germany, France and Poland)? Are they all back home?

Lee, Rivers, JWO all should be home (as well as Rosenthal), as the German league cancelled. SSS is on her way home. Not sure about J-P. Brazil has postponed until 4/3, so Wilhite is still in Brazil.
