One more point about the return of sports- so because a few athletes have tested positive, many are clamoring for everything to be shut down- "crazy to risk these athletes lives for a sport", etc.
Ok- so lets say the NHL tomorrow decides to cancel everything for the year because of the Matthews test (and a few others)
So what are these athletes going to do if that happens? Lock themselves in their house indefinitely? Because if not- if they are going to do what the rest of the world is doing- going to stores, restaurants, etc- then they have just as much of a chance of getting the virus doing that as they do in a training camp- and without 24/7 of the best medical care in the world.
The fact of the matter is that for most athletes, especially college ones- they are much better off in team training camps than not.
