	Description:		This week the International Sporting Calendar has been decimated by the Coronovirus. From Basketball in the United States to Cricket in India to Formula One in Australia and everything in between. All cancelled or postponed. So as the world battens down the hatches on Sportshour we look at the sporting impact financially and socially. We hear from Australian cyclist Nathan Haas who was tested negative for Coronavirus but was in quarantine for a week. He tells us what it was like and how he kept himself occupied. He also tells us about how he will be preparing for the Tour De France and the Olympics. Also this week we meet two of six African American Women who represent the USA in the sevens version of the game and will be doing so in Tokyo later this year.
