17k fans, wow... Around 300 new cases per day in the Kansas City metropolitan area (although the numbers were higher in July), population around 2.15 million. Test positivity rate in the counties of...

Yes please! There are enough Covidiots doing damage in the real world; really don't want to hear from them on every TFC thread.

Maybe they would let the NHL players watch the game. LOL.

Unbelievable that Ford & Co, who are supposed to be primarily responsible for public health in Ontario, were OK to let this go through with MLB.

Yes but that was one flight in per team, and one flight back at the end of the tournament. Chartering every team back and forth for every away game for the rest of the season, would get pricey.

I was also thinking of the Dallas and Nashville situations. Plus the other individual positives, inconclusive results, and all of that. I can't even imagine some of the MLS teams from better-managed...

Wow case numbers going nuts in Florida, I was hoping it wouldn’t get that bad, but not really surprising. The issue may be cases among the hotel workers, resort staff, bus drivers etc that will be...

Yes it's really hard to predict how things will go. However one bit of good news: they will start producing millions of doses of multiple vaccines while those vaccines are still being tested. Massive...

Don't worry, the players & staff (or their relatives afterwards) won't be contracting Covid-19 in Florida. Only "pneumonia." :facepalm:

Maybe I'm naive, but I'm not actually too concerned about...

I'm sure there's all kinds of variation in individual cases. But the Financial Times and others have done good analyses of "excess deaths" for various countries and regions, compared with previous...

I read everything above. I just wanted to mention there’s a very significant increase of Covid cases in many US states again. (E.g. Arizona hospitals reaching crisis levels.) That will affect the...

Maybe play it outdoors, Venice-Beach style.

Georgia hasn't seen a spike in Covid cases... but they've seen a big spike in "pneumonia" deaths. I think a couple of states are badly faking it. I'll post some stats when I find them...

For...

That's a good point I hadn't thought about in a while. I do remember feeling a bit... odd that day. Glad I biked so I didn't have to go through the tunnel.

W/o fans, I think most modern...

I have lots of doubts about that plan. Especially having a whole bunch of games (and training) in extremely hot weather.

However food wouldn't be my biggest concern. They may be getting lots of...

Two positive Coronavirus tests at Dynamo Dresden in the 2nd Bundesliga. All players, coaches, trainers, and other support staff have to go into a 14-day quarantine starting today. They won't be able...

I had a different thought. I watched some of the empty-stadium games that were still played before the shutdown. I think the huge, cavernous, echoing stadiums are an issue. I think piping in fan...

That CTV article seems quite vague. At least for the Raptors, "opening the training facilities" means only one player at a time in the building, and one coach or trainer, no close interaction between...

Wow June/July in Orlando, the temperatures and humidity are generally bad then. Just wondering about having lots of training and games in that climate. If they have many teams in one spot, and try to...

Yup I agree! Plus people have done "excess death" calculations of the current situation. In many countries, they haven't yet included 40% to 60% of the actual COVID-19 deaths, for a variety of...

"As soon as it's safe" -- LOL, in the US. The situation is incredibly variable there, from city to city, state to state, and over time. Cases and deaths will skyrocket again now. In many areas,...

That's a very interesting website, thanks for the tip. Especially I haven't seen the reproduction number mentioned much elsewhere.

However I believe 579 LTC deaths, out of a total 1300 deaths, is...

Regarding Bundesliga: 3 people at FC Köln tested positive. They weren't exhibiting any symptoms, and are now in a 14-day quarantine. Apparently it was two players and a team physiotherapist. Two...

I watch the news in Germany closely, and there’s a massive debate about the Bundesliga plans. Whether they go ahead with restarting the league soon w/o fans or not, either will lead to a huge...

I don't know if the season is over for sure, but in the meantime this is genuinely an awesome way to make use of an empty arena: MLSE preparing up 10,000 meals per day, for shelters, community...
