If there is a season, the athletes will:
a) have external motivation to socially distance beyond their own health
b) will be tested 2-3 times per week
If there is not a season and there is no external motivation to socially distance and there is no very regular testing, do people really think the players will be healthier and safer?
They know they aren't going to get seriously ill. They are away from home so they don't have an opportunity to infect family members who may be vulnerable. Why would they take steps to stay as healthy as they would if they were playing?
