The problem is people are still focused on spread ...ignoring the fact that the virus never had the mortality rate it was purported to...and it appears even less now. -Any reasonable person examining the current data would conclude the virus has weakened (or most vulnerable people have already been infected) and this is the case.
It amazes me how articles keep being written on fear of infection but ignore this^^^^^.
Fact is....if players or fans aren't planning on leaving the game and going to visitation at the local nursing home or ICU units then there is very little reason to care about or worry over these games and possible effects.I keep waiting for the article shaming leagues for resuming sports to list all the terrible things that have happened as a result.....but they cannot and will not do that.
All they ever say...or could say. .is there were a bunch of positive tests. And????
What will make it interesting is the same thing that has made it interesting all along....the response more so than the actual threat. Rescheduling of games, teams minus many or key players (I'm talking teams or programs who weren't aggressive and proactive), conflicting views amongst teams or leagues and scheduling effects, affects on athletes plans moving forward, etc, etc...
