Pandemic and Game Attendance -MERGED

(This post was last modified: 07-04-2020, 09:22 PM by mal234.)

Here's some interesting and optimistic news about sports managing to make it work during COVID-19:

Right now on ESPN there The Basketball Tournament is going on. The players participating in it had to test multiple times for COVID-19 before being allowed to participate in it, and it's a quarantine tournament. There are also some other rules that have been implemented regarding this tournament. But they are making it work right now and the players look like they are having fun. Outside of the changes due to the virus, they are playing like they normally would, with physical interaction, including doing hustle plays where there is touching involved. They are also doing things like slapping hands, etc... In spite of everything they seem pretty comfortable and look like they would even without changes due to the virus. This could be a preview of what the NBA restart could look like, except there will be much more excitement for the NBA tournament. And maybe even the NFL as well, depending on things shake out with things like planning for the upcoming season.

Also some MLB baseball players have been tested and so far less than 2% have tested positive and over 4,000 people/personel were tested ahead of a Formula One race in Austria and no one tested positive. The most recent testing for Formula one was carried out over seven days and they are being tested every five days.
