covid reserve list doesn't mean they tested positive by the way... just under quarantine.

MLB tried to do all this in two weeks. NFL is doing it 6 weeks before games.

Or we could do something reasonable like understand that, no matter what we do, almost all susceptible players are going to eventually catch Covid in the community anyway, accept that the risk of any of the players experiencing any significant level of morbidity from Covid is basically nil, keep at risk coaches and family members "in a bubble," and proceed with the season.

No fans. Allow players to opt out for the season if they are afraid of passing it to vulnerable family members (even if that is unlikely to significantly reduce that risk). Educate them on the real level of risk that they face should they contract the disease.

The constant drumbeat of fear of this virus, and the fear of being "at fault" if someone else catches it, is paralyzing the world. I am seeing more negative health outcomes from the fear of the virus than from the virus itself, and that is not unique to my location.
