That is what it is going to take. Test the participants. The positive cases sit out. Everyone else plays. Move things forward. Fans in the stands or not, we need sports to help with morale. I am looking forward to seeing NASCAR and even golf. Wow...never thought I would say that. 

I love to play golf, but I'll admit that I'm a super casual golf viewer. I pretty much only tune in for the back nine on Sunday if interesting names are in contention. And by interesting names I pretty much mean Rickie Fowler.

The ongoing pandemic has created plenty of confusion, as science has mixed with politics and as news has been filtered and slanted by media outlets and personalities more concerned about pandering to political viewpoints (on both sides) than the truth. Within the NFL, there’s little or no confusion: Football season will happen.

“Fauci, the director of the National Institutes for Health since 1984, interrupted. “You got a problem there,” he said. “You know why? Because it is likely that if four of them are positive and they’ve been hanging around together, that the other ones that are negative are really positive. So I mean, if you have one outlier [only one player testing positive], I think you might get away. But once you wind up having a situation where it looks like it’s spread within a team, you got a real problem. You gotta shut it down.”

Shut it down. Quarantine the team, he means. For 14 days. The next two games for that team? Cancelled or postponed. That could be life in the NFL in 2020.

“Also,” I said, “I take it that teams have to be willing to say, If Patrick Mahomes tests positive on a Saturday night, he’s got to disappear for two weeks.”

“Absolutely, absolutely,” Fauci said. “It would be malpractice in medicine to put him on the field, absolutely.””

Rmember chicken pox parties? When one kid had it all the kids in the neighborhood would hang around them so they could get it. They could have a coronavirus party for all nfl players and let them build an immunity for it

"A Carlisle-area resident recently treated for coronavirus-like symptoms admitted attending a “corona party” — with a confirmed coronavirus patient — days after Gov. Tom Wolf ordered Pennsylvanians to stay at home to stop its spread. "

And when one or two die from it, then what?
