A little more than a week into the season and already there is the prospect of Major League Baseball shutting down operations as a result of lapses by teams in containing the effects of the coronavirus.

    My hand is raised.

    COVID will be even worse in football. It’s a sport where you can’t social distance, unlike baseball.

    Only way to do this is put players in 1-2 cities and play games in a virtual “bubble.” But even that has logistical challenges.

    Yeah, not sure how this is gonna work if the goal is not to get the virus. Each team would have to quarantine and prove to be virus free; then remain isolated together as a team for the entire season. If even one person slips up, it can impact the team. If even one team slips up, the virus will spread during a game. Total team isolation across the league seems unrealistic. But not doing it and expecting to remain virus free seems equally unrealistic. Would be a shame for the league to get a few games in only to have to shut it down….especially if the Raiders happened to get off to a strong start.

    I seriously don’t see how the league can safeguard the players and staff against transmission when people can be super spreaders without any symptoms. I think they should move the season to the spring in the hopes that there is a cure or a vaccine by then.
