RE: NBA "season" gets official schedule
I'm excited for the return of the NBA season too! Great post with details I haven't heard or been made aware of.
Not trying to be controversial, but it is important to note that even mild or asymptomatic COVID-19 cases can cause long-term or possibly permanent lung damage. In addition, there are lasting neurological symptoms even weeks after recovery from the initial virus symptoms. NBA players are still humans, so I don't blame the ones with young kids or immunocompromised family members who refuse to play in Orlando.
no controversy here and i welcome your words. I just believe that if we are going to wait until no one has covid before we can start to do normal life things again we are going to be waiting forever. There are more detection of covid among the athletes because they are being tested much more thoroughly. If the same testing procedures were applied to the general population, i think we would discover that most people have it now or already have had it.
