Take baseball for example. Let's say Mike Trout gets the Rona. You pretty much have to quarantine him and do the next man up type of thing. But it's so damn contagious that if Trout gets it the rest of the team probably has been exposed as well.

Do you just keep bringing up minor leaguers? At some point it's going to become a joke many of the best players could be quarantined for weeks at at time.

It's better than nothing for sure, but any championships would have a giant asterisk next to them. "Yeah - but that was the CaronaVirus year...doesn't really count."
