Also sports fans: athletes should go into a much stricter quarantine than I'm in so I'm not so bored |

There is simply no way to preserve the 6 foot rule in athletics, and every game, even if you have no crowds, is a potential super spreading event just the same was that choir practice in Washington state, where they tried to keep 6 feet away from everyone, was. It’s a terrible idea and a horribly short sighted business decision if anyone tried to restart before this has gone away.

Your going to have to test them at first, if you dont test them and someone comes down with the virus, then did they have it when they came in or catch it through another player who didnt show symptoms. Plus hows this quarantine going to work? Put every person in the complex in their own room for 2 weeks, I'm betting in ST complex's players share rooms, is there any ST complexs with say 200 rooms because if each person needs their own room you'll need at least that if you have 5 teams staying there.

One fix is all the motor homes that would be available to rent since no one in America is focusing on vacationing currently. I'm sure the military has some quonset huts to rent out... Neither of these options are terrible and would be appropriate temporary housing for the 3 weeks

Seriously though I know were your coming from on this topic, I personally dont agree with it unless your talking around July or even August, I know the EPL could lose £700m if their to be believed but their season ends around May I think and a new season starts in August they should just get ready for next season imo. |

Really basketball would be the easiest sport to do this with because the traveling party for each team could be be kept under 25 people realistically and they could more easily set up the residences in the same place as they would be playing. Especially if they jumped back straight to the playoffs since it would further limit the amount of players that would be active |

Yea I agree... There is no functional way to house the players off site under this plan. Too many ways it backfires then with no way to stop exposure

To me that's the most hideous thing about COVID-19. It has lulled an entire generation of young people into thinking that bc they won't have much more than flu like symptoms that it's okay to still go to spring break by the thousands or to turn out by the thousands to celebrate St Patty's day in Chicago... But then they became carriers of the virus and took it straight to their parents and grandparents who are at much higher risk of the virus being fatal. I'd hope they would be able to relate to these young healthy ball players that would also probably not be at much risk of dying from the virus, but who would be willing to go to the trouble of close to a month long quarantine to get back to America's past time Last edited by qcbandits; 04-05-2020 at 06:07 PM. |

This isn’t nearly as simple as you’re making it out to be. Also, it’s hilarious how you were so butt hurt about this post that you had to reply to it twice, accuse me of “sensationalism” and then plug your fingers in your ears. Very mature, well thought out reasoning.

Yes they were living where ever they have their homes and traveling to the Performance Center for however long they were needed to tape the shows and then they were free to go back home. This all happened at the very beginning of the outbreak and the wrestlers were tested before they were allowed to compete.

Did the WWE have problems with that model? Or does the Boras model of living on site look more feasible? |

Yeah the Edge v Orton match is tonight and I heard it was very much scripted, but I’m looking forward to that match too. Last night had the Undertaker match that was like watching an actual movie, way over the top but entertaining.
From what I have read no one got sick from the tapings, at least they haven’t reported anything. |

What stay at home except as necessary does is create circles of containment with just a few people in them, those in a person's household. Yes, people occasionally will be in brief contact with others, say at the grocery store, but overall the major contact is within a small group. If a person gets sick, the exposure is mostly contained within his household. You say, well, check everyone in a sport and once they're known not to be infected go ahead with games. But instead of there being a small containment circle, as with a persons household, we now have a large one: players on a team, the support personnel, everyone on the teams they play, their support personnel, etc. No containment circle is perfectly secure. Under this plan if someone gets infected, hundreds of people are exposed, instead of, in current conditions, a person's major exposure being limited to his household. This is a huge danger. And the reason you are proposing it is you are sitting home bored. Quite selfish and irresponsible. |
