If the whole team needs to quarantine for one positive test, then you can forget any semblence of order. There will be many games canceled every week if that is the case.
You can already tell this is going to escalate into the winter. It's already happening now.

Northwestern University ran a study, 20% of the blood samples had antibodies. Compared to what 4-5% for COVID test taken?

Per the article....”since Aug.28 Marquette Athletics has administered 809 tests, with only 8 coming back as positive.”
So, no. The chances of everyone getting it is NOT pretty high. Actually the chance of NOT getting it is what is pretty high for anyone. Even if we go with the Northwestern study showing 20% with antibodies, that still leaves 80% without.
What’s pretty high is overreaction and panic on the part of some that causes unnecessary problems for others.

They are getting better at treating it, and/or it’s becoming less lethal, but to say NOBODY dies from it is simply not true.
I’m less concerned than I used to be, but still taking reasonable precautions for the sake of myself and others. Fortunately my wife’s test came back negative today, but she still feels like crap and I’ve pulled out my 10 foot pole!

Since February the US has a total of 8.2 million cases. About 1 million per month. The US population is about 350 million. At that rate, it would take 350 months for everyone to get it...that’s over TWENTY NINE YEARS. Anyone want to bet that we can’t find a vaccine long before that?
Didn’t any of you guys take a math class at X?
