Will COVID-19 be the needle that finally bursts the sports bubble?

Or until a vaccine is discovered or the thing cycles through the population.

 

FIFY

 

NBA teams report to Trumpland next week.

 

And the chaser:

 

Yeah. It's just the flu.
It's a creation of the libruhl media in the name of taking down Our President.
Trump and his klan are wretched people. They have killed thousands with their combination of apathy, ignorance, stupidity, myopia and contempt of science.

 

MLS teams are already there.

 

And how long does that take? Two years? Three?
God only knows what this country and this world will look like by then. We're 3 1/2 months into this thing and already unraveling.

 

All the civilian workers supporting the NBA bubble will go home after work, so there goes the "bubble". LOL

 

I read a piece the other day that raised the possibility of cognitive deficiency - actual brain damage - as an effect.

We know zilch about this still, and we knew a quarter of that in mid-March.

The Djokovic folly should serve warning. This is the result if you behave like jackasses.

 

Mayo Clinic is saying 12 to 18 months minimum for a vaccine.

This College Football Team Had No Coronavirus Cases at First. Then It Shut Down.


When Kansas State opened the doors to its athletic facilities, welcoming its football players back to campus starting the first weekend in June, administrators breathed a sigh of relief once the first batch of coronavirus tests came back.

The first wave of athletes spent a week in quarantine before voluntary workouts, as all players were required to do, and the scorecard was pristine: 90 tests, zero positives.

Another six players straggled in a day or two later and were swabbed. Again, no positives.

Then, by June 12, the final group of 24 arrivals — largely freshmen — was tested. But just a week later, Kansas State shut down its workouts until at least mid-July after two positive cases in that final group morphed into four and then eight before leaping to 14, as nearly half the team needed to be checked again.
