Wow
As many epidemiologists predicted, 3 weeks after Memorial Day there would be a huge surge in positives and %positives, 5 weeks after a surge in hospitalizations and deaths. First prediction was dead on the money. The optics of NBA going to freaking FLA during an ugly turn in the pandemic is going to be interesting. I think we're going to see players dropping out left and right, whether out of concern for their own health or their families, (who may just live in Texas, Arizona and other surging states). The reality is the pandemic is going to surpass the previous peaks in the next month, with all that that means.
Edit: and oh, yeah, 16 of 302 NBA players just tested are positive. Still several weeks before teams enter the bubble...corona virus incoming to the bubble, no way to avoid it.
