Fauci "there may not be a season"

On june 15th, I released an article titled Clutch Points reported NFL Players catch Corona as NFL is preparing to Open. In which I discussed the possibility of there not being a season.

Since then It has come to light that a Denver Broncos' player, and a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization has come down with the virus, and two more have entered quarantine.

One of the experts on the coronavirus, Dr. Fauci, has said that the NFL might not have a season. He spoke with CNN about it. 

"Unless players are essentially in a bubble – insulated from the community and they are tested nearly every day – it would be very hard to see how football is able to be played this fall. If there is a second wave, which is certainly a possibility and which would be complicated by the predictable flu season, football may not happen this year."

As I reported in my last article 22 states were seeing increases in the number of infected individuals. Some up to 25%.

CBS Sports Caitlin O'Kane reported the NFL's chief medical official about what the league is doing to contain and stop an outbreak among NFL employees. Here is a sample of the statement from the NFL's website.

""We will make adjustments as necessary to meet the public health environment as we prepare to play the 2020 season as scheduled with increased protocols and safety measures for all players, personnel and attendees..." 

NFLPA union president JC Tretter released the following statement

“I don’t know at this point. Obviously, it’s a novel, emerging virus, so there’s consistent updates, and new information comes out every day. So, I’ve continually tried not to look too far ahead, focus on two-week spurts of making sure we’re all set up." 

Baseball, Basketball, and Soccer have all discussed playing in a set location. The sports would hold tests and limit accessibility to the players and league-team employees. Baseball players have been against this idea.

O'Kane wrote "Plans could also involve players isolated in a bubble site and routinely tested with the hopes of eventually returning to home markets when possible, CBS Sports reported. "

As I stated in my previous article, players don't seem to care about the virus and with Goodell wanting to press on with the season , he may issue waivers or have the league play with scabs.
