Nats vote against going to Miami this weekend after Marlins' COVID-19 outbreak.

I thought baseball might do okay because players aren't in a lot of close contact with other players. But I suppose sitting in the dugout would be an issue. I'd guess that basketball or football is more of a problem. I'd think hockey would be okay. And golf, too.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some are, most aren't. There are a few players with pre-existing conditions who definitely shouldn't play. Also some players have opted out because of family concerns.

Right now I'm confident football will happen this fall. Of course I don't have a crystal ball and with this virus nothing is certain, but based on current plans that the NFL has for playing games and keeping players healthy, I fully expect to be be watching the Chiefs and Texans kick off the 2020 season on September 10th.
