But if Mahomes missed time that’s all part of how the dynamic has to work.What kind of contingency covers half a team being wiped out in a day? In the NFL where every game has such incredible importance, what contingency covers Mahomes suddenly being take out by the virus? Or three quarters of an offensive line?
I really want there to be a season, but I've always been dubious that they'd get away with it.
I really haven't been following the story that closely. What makes you think this happened because of negligence?It also sounds like this was negligence on the Marlins part, which would mean this could have likely been more largely avoided had they followed correct protocols.

Honestly wondering, why is South Korea able to play baseball and Australia able to play full contact rugby but we may not be able to pull it off in the US?
Really curious, what are they doing differently that we should be (or vice versa)? Or is it something like 'climate differences' that make it more possible. I don't know.
BTW, if the season is cancelled....do we just start up where we left off with the 2020 schedule (e.g. playing the NFC West)? Or does the schedule move ahead and have us playing a different division (e.g. NFC South)?

This is true too. Lack of leadership is killing us, literallyBecause the Bad Orange Man isnt president in Korea
See the red line below. It models a situation where each infected person transmits to 3.1 others. That is called R-naught, the infectivity factor. Getting to the blue line, you need to reduce transmission by just 16%, from 3.1 to 2.6. Getting to the purple line, you need to reduce transmission by 39%, 3.1 to 1.9. That is a no pandemic situation.
The problem with next man up is when there are not any men left.I don’t think this direct incident will lead to the MLB shutting down the season. I think they stand to lose far too much to make that move yet. They’ll try to find solutions in any way they think possible.
Now if this happens to large portions of the league’s teams, that’s another story..
and you know what is worse? they are allowed to vote
Person, woman, man, camera, TVYeah, there's no way any of these pro leagues can play a full schedule in this country at this current time. The way the virus has been handled here, by the government/leadership and large segments of the population is nothing short of embarrassing. Think of how stupid the average

Rt COVID-19An important point: R0 = 1.9 is not "no pandemic." It's just a slower pandemic. [Look closely: that line isn't a straight line; it's starting to curve up, just more slowly than the other lines.) To actually stop the pandemic, you need to get R0 < 1.0.
