Society is crumbling around us but my god is it amazing to have my circuses back. I feel bad for being so happy to watch sports again...

    I was somewhat process right (two teams with double-digit cases from traveling), and somewhat proven wrong (no cases since then). But the resource strain from both of these tournaments has had a real, tangible, negative impact. People in Florida are waiting longer and longer for test results, and fewer daily tests are available.

    How is this allowed? Putting the entire population at risk for some entertainment.
    At least in Germany they said you can only restart when the testing capacities necessary for the sport won't impaire the testing for general population.

    How the US hasn't completely collapsed is a bit of a mystery to me(not really, but you get the point).

      Florida is largely pretending this isn't happening. It's pretty disgusting.

      And, honestly, I can't really blame the league, as the government supposedly promised them that they would be able to handle the influx. The state's refusal to shut things back down amid massive spikes is the real reason the systems are overwhelmed. It's just that the leagues aren't really helping...
