I wonder if it is not good now but in the long run is what they figured what would happen. They get tested now, they get it now, and then they move on and come middle of July the the positive tests are way way down.
Agree 100%. I can also imagine the nightmare regarding travel and lodging plans for visiting teams, officials and TV crews as well. I foresee a lot of late cancellations and change of plans. This is all probably the best-case scenario too. Worst case scenario, of course is no season, which I still think is more likely going to happen at this point.
Get it now and get it over with. Its the older coaches that need to be careful. The kids probably don't even notice they have it.
That would be my guess. Plus it seems to me the lethality of the disease has gone way down since Washington and New York. Since I looked last we have added 500,000 new positives and about 8,000 deaths. Then probably 10x that have been infected but asymptomatic so they don’t know to get tested or it’s so minor they don’t care. Out of those new 8000 I would guess mostly elderly and immune compromised with a few outliers here and there. I haven’t heard anything about hospitals freaking out all around the country not able to keep up. They have this new steroid that is supposed to help a lot. I don’t know why anyone’s outlook has changed. Did people think it was gone and was going to stay gone a week ago? 2 weeks ago? No. It will spread until we hit herd immunity. So we can drag this out for 3 years until we hit herd immunity under the guise of waiting for a magical vaccine that will work about as good as the flu vaccine or rip the band aide off and protect the elderly and immune compromised and let it spread to young healthy people- get herd immunity and be done obsessing over a disease that kills less than 1%. All while saving jobs, the economy and our country.
