Hopefully MLB doesn't crap out.

MLB has no plans to cancel or pause 2020 season after Marlins coronavirus outbreak, per reports

What are the various spitting policies in place for the COVID season?

As a Flroida resident I'm fully onboard with nuking the state into orbit

You want your state to be nuked because the shitty Marlins are infected with Covid?

Well it is mostly because there is not much you can do immediately to get a healthy immune system.  Also, there are plenty of cases with healthy athletic people dying or getting seriously sick.  Finally, we do not know the full extent.  Asymptomatic is a bit of a misnomer because there have been some long term effects found on people that never showed symptoms, specifically with the cardiovascular system.

I'm not saying we shouldn't practice good hygiene and wear masks but we do have to think about this virus long term as it may be with us for a while

No, because it is infected with Floridians.

One of the smartest companies in the world, with access to data I can't even think of, is saying to its employees, "Let's meet back in a year".

This thing ain't going away soon

They mention the best way to enter Regina is through Assiniboia. It's a Canadian thing.

Can't a lot of them work from home, being an IT company?

Fortunately, the Rams already rescued him.

OK that's more reasonable.

We better hope to hell we don’t have a few pitchers test positive and be out at the same time.  We have nowhere near enough depth to withstand something like that.

Plus, you know, they would be infected with a deadly virus.

Yep and it's why I think it may be wise just forgo this season all together.

Naw, let's just let go of Florida which would mean the Rays go away and the league stays at an even number.

Surface transmission is pretty much non-existent so disinfecting is just a placebo.

I did sit in a room for 8 hours a day for 2 days with someone who ended up testing positive for Covid. We all had masks though and i'm at day 7 since initial contact with no symptoms. I actually had to get tested today because I found out this morning I was exposed. I personally don't feel I was in close enough contact with them for me to have gotten infected, and like you said, surface transmission hasn't been documented (that I am aware of)
