Using luxury boxes other places as temporary clubhouses for a couple guys so there isn't a good chance of 1 to many spread. <br /><br />The issue so far has been people that need 1 on 1 time with multiple players. Like a trainer. not going to hire 20 of them Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738813756060133236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-43995640245151872502020-07-20T10:41:28.744-07:002020-07-20T10:41:28.744-07:00Until we can figure testing out, I'm still pes...Until we can figure testing out, I'm still pessimistic about the season lasting very long. You really need to be testing the players <i>at minimum</i> every week, and you need to be able to get those results within 24-48 hours. Otherwise, things can get out of hand very quickly. Transmission between clubhouses is probably relatively low-likelihood, but within a clubhouse it can spread like wildfire. And what happens when a team has to remove itself from the schedule for 2 weeks? You just can't quarantine a whole team and expect it to work, you need to be able to remove just the individual players. But that requires rigorous testing which I don't think we'll have.Cautiously Pessimisticnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-17834677916368428862020-07-19T13:41:22.453-07:002020-07-19T13:41:22.453-07:00Max B - Me too!

But given that I think location matters most in terms of players getting it and the sport matters most in terms of spreading it. So I think it's more likely that NBA players will get it (assuming bubble doesn't hold) but a case in the NHL is more likely to lead to cancellation.

Therefore I see the same political pressure put on MLB as the NFL to close. It only takes an "outbreak" to cancel and they are very good at faking test results. If we get baseball, great, but as all DC fans know, the influence of these people was great enough to destroy the Redskins' heritage, and if you see the MLB and NFL 2020 seasons totally destroyed, remember who did it in November. <br />AND anyone who thinks we can talk baseball as unrelated to politics, after what happened to the redskins, get real.Skepticnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-89075355938184564392020-07-17T10:21:16.857-07:002020-07-17T10:21:16.857-07:00Harper how much do you think location matters?

You make good points about the NBA being a hardcore bubble and having less people per team than the NHL, but they are in Florida and the NHL is doing their play-in/play-off series in Canada. Do you think that makes a difference, or no because it's a bubble. mike knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-33867431877520274772020-07-17T08:24:38.666-07:002020-07-17T08:24:38.666-07:00I'm glad to see the blog is back!
