That is why "reopening" would require an extremely thorough testing system to make sure that exposure to the virus is very, very limited. I do no see how the NFL with all the sweat, blood and other bodily fluids that are exchanged on almost every play can go forward without endangering the players unless every player is tested the morning of every game and only those who test clean can play.
That is why i don't think that Pro Sports in any format will ever come back until there is a vaccine. But the vaccine is a slippery slope as well. Just like people who don't get flu vaccines, there are bound to be people who won't want to get Covid vaccines. Due to the current crisis, could the government mandate inoculations of all people, is that even legal / constitutional?

Not only that but baseball is discussing playing their games in Arizona. Hockey is talking about finishing the games in less populated states like North Dakoda. We're going to have pro sports and soon. I'm convinced of that.

I think college football is in serious trouble.
