The original goal post was that the shut down would last until the virus leveled off. It has leveled off. There are no disasters in sports. Virtually no athletes got sick. The only one I can think of is the Red Sox pitcher (he's better now with no lingering effects). There have been ups and down's with the protocals affecting games. But player safety has not been compromised. Where is the "disaster" you're referring to? The Premiere League will only shut down if England forces them to. What exactly is your point?

sigh - you really are hopeless.

1) Europe is experiencing a strong 2nd wave - as per the AP above. "Leveled off," you say? The US will fall right behind them, given the selfish morons inhabiting large swaths of the country.
2) Player safety is getting increasingly compromised, and essentially the only truly successful sporting leagues have been in bubbles.
3) Coaching / staff safety continues to be ignored. Was hoping Saban's age/diagnosis would serve as a light bulb. Guess not.
4) The premiere league is fanless, and you keep pushing for fans. Which one is it?

Define "strong second wave". The second wave in the USA was about 50% of the first. And if the European second wave is ike the USA, it will include many younger people who are mild or asymptomatic. Covid treatments (some as simple as prone ventalition, others like new drugs or anti-body serum) which have made the virus much less deadly continue to be deployed.

Do you have any evidence that player safety is"increasingly" compromised?

A coach, Nick Saban, got Covid. He says he "feels fine." That does not suggest coaching staffs are ignoring safety.

The Premiere League is fanless. I have no opinion on when they should allow fans. Locally the Hartford Athletic had fans without a "disaster."

It's great to be safe. But I repeat, assess he risk, take precautions, live your life. Here's a good site to track many aspects of Covid. We are clearly way past the April hump. Our Data
