Starting to think NFL season not feasible

There is not going to be any mass quarantining. Rosters and practice squads will be increased to handle temporary loss of individual players.

There is also a good possibility that much of the league will already have had the virus by the beginning of the season and shouldn't be an issue come season. So far all of the reported player cases have been either asymptomatic or extremely mild.

It is still almost three months from the beginning of the season. I have little doubt the season will take place and can't wait.

That sounds like the ideal scenario for me to get to watch my beloved Saints play football this year. The only problem is it is beginning to look like you can catch it several times. Although here's another thought for these athletes.....COVID does damage to healthy lungs......
