Great, enjoy, we will all stay at home because we are scared that we will be infected on the corona virus, if person like Gobert and Tom Hanks are infected, how much more an ordinary people like us, we have to be careful as this is a deadly virus, so chill at home, gamble all you want and enjoy the break.

If you are sports gambler then there is a big difference as some of the high stakes matches will be cancelled because of the issues that we are going through globally and things are getting serious as the disease is spreading faster and you need to take precautions to avoid the spread. I never thought it will be a huge problem earlier but now things are changing and until the virus is not quarantined then i am not willing to spend time in a crowded place.

I do not think the matches will be postponed, I think they will happen without any spectators in the stadium. A huge amount of money has already been invested and BCCI President has already declined that IPL will be cancelled or postponed due to the virus outbreak.

Now i have to stay home ,so basically im gambling again because of the corona 
i'm not sick 

Seems IPL matches is also going to get affected due to corona outbreak since it has been announce pandemic disease where there is lot of money involves in betting every year.So yes it is affecting the whole world even we might see no one entering casinos in near future until this outbreak will be under control.

. Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.

Compared to the online gamblers, there's more online gamblers than casino goers so definitely it would not affect a lot on the overall gambling industry.
Nowadays that the trend is online gambling and we can gambler through our pc and phone, for sure people are not worried about this as if they can't go to a physical casino, there's always another alternative which is the online casino.

sports matches should be stopped according to me , this events where there will be mass gathering spread of corona virus will be fast and can affect many people in short period of time and if this many people get affected then it could spread to many people , so according to me sports events should be avoided in countries where this virus is more

Already affected. I think offline casinos have more affected than online casinos. Because people don't want to go to the crowd anymore. We all know the amount of crowds at offline casinos. So everyone wants to be at a safe distance from the crowd. So people are no longer interested in going to offline casinos. I think here is more chance for online casinos. 

Compared to the online gamblers, there's more online gamblers than casino goers so definitely it would not affect a lot on the overall gambling industry.

I know some nurse who works for a private hospitals (Philippines), and I found out that there are some inconsistency on the process. Some of these hospitals, offer Free test but some they don't. However, the Free has only inclusions and limited only some test (not a fully COVID-19 standard test). Once, confirmed these private hospitals will transfer the patient to a Government Hospital and a signed waiver is included with it (Typical medical practice of a hospital, I guess).

That's what I said. Because people won't go out for the COVID-19. So they will gamble online at home. This will bring more online gamblers. Since people don't have to go out in the crowd, they will be more likely to come online gambling. This is Advantage for online gambling sites.

If that's true that people will pay for a test, I doubt many will undergo with it as the price you mentioned is insane and not afford by anyone.

your right sir, this would make crypto currency a better alternative for physical gambling to non contact or just playing online gambling and would make it more profitable for them besides, players can just play at home with a cup of coffee instead of driving to a casino that make them prone to virus, this would be also a great opportunity, for digital currency to be push to public also for their own safety.

While it's true that many patients are almost being tested and even treated for free, you can't deny the fact that some people are being charged a fortune worth $3k-$4k just to have a COVID-19 test conducted on them and the treatment bills are a surprise package if you are found with and get your treatment started for this virus.

We all know that there is a virus outbreak named COVID-19 and it's spreading quickly throughout the entire globe. Though preventive and and can be somehow cured and be reduced by healing the specific symptoms one-by-one (based on Is there a cure for the new coronavirus? by Stephanie Pappas), there are still numerous cases in which would affect soon every single person on the planet.

Currently, there are 106,195 confirmed cases in which 42,405 cases that are active and almost 3,600 confirmed deaths around the world. COVID-19 can be passed in a lot of different ways, more likely to be through physical contact. And it is obvious that most gambling (especially physical casinos) were bombarded with strangers that aren't that assured if do have the disease or not, and has a high chance where many physical contact occurs (like passing of bank notes and bets).

Recently, there was an article titled South Korea burns, quarantines bank notes as Covid-19 rages in which its states that one of South Korea's preventive measures is they've seen that, it is a risk and a huge possible that bank notes can carry the virus and with the papers being passed through the economy is also an implicit transmitting of the virus.

But then think of it. The casino is a common and usual place where people do often make contact not only by oral communication but also with touching banknotes, casino coins, and even dices and other things used in betting. Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto the digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.
