Is anyone doing anything to make the occasion or celebrate?
Happy Olympic Day!
Lots of Olympic, Professional, and International athletes have posted stuff on Instagram using the hashtag #OlympicDay kind of cool to follow their stories and what not.
23 University of Clemson (American) Football players tested positive yesterday.
13 University of Texas (American) Football players tested positive yesterday.
The Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball shut down their training camp facility in Florida after 8 of their players tested positive yesterday.
The Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball had a few positive tests and also shut down their facility.
11 National Hockey League Players also tested positive yesterday as training camps opened.
We're obviously going to see more tests as more and more players are required to be tested in order to practice. Most of the players who tested positive are asymptomatic, which means they are showing no illness. But that means the virus can be easily spread throughout a locker room and may infect the more vulnerable demographic such as older coaches, trainers, staff, front office workers. Having been apart of countless teams and been in thousands of locker rooms, being 6ft apart is a near impossible task. Contact between players and coaches and staff is an integral part of sport. I can only predict that we will see more and more positive cases in the next few weeks.
Having sports in North America in 2020 does not look as promising as it may seem.
Interesting point that our police are able to militarize so quickly, yet we’re 2/3 months into the Covid-19 pandemic and many health care workers still struggle to get PPE in the U.S.
My brother works as a nurse in an ICU COVID unit at John Hopkins (the most prestigious hospital in America) sent me a picture today (May 31st) of his new PPE gear, which does look very safe and legit. However, we are three months into this and all they had given him before was face shield and gloves. Wild.
