Why don't we just cancel it for the next 2-3 years? No guarantee there will be a viable vaccine or one that doesn't cause serious side effects. Everyone stay in your basements. I hope you enjoyed having football until now because its gone forever. 

Or, we could tests and let the players play who aren't positive (the vast majority).  

There are plenty of acceptable outcomes and ways to handle things besides the extreme ridiculous examples you suggest. Imagine playing with 30 players who still didn't get sick or losing your QB or star player for weeks while they recover. Or paying big bucks to watch a dozen practice squad guys start.

Studies have already shown that COVID is most contagious when temps are in the mid-40s. It's going to have a seasonal aspect to it just like other coronaviruses. This is a new coronavirus, but human coronaviruses aren't a wholly new phenomenon. By and large, they're seasonal.

Most folks in the South spend summer in the air conditioning which is 70 to 80 degrees and does nothing to mitigate the virus. Covid 19 is not comparable to SARs or the Corona viruses that cause the common cold.given Covid 19 spreads much easier and with asymptomatic folks being up to 50%, it spreads before you even know you are sick. I don't see it slowing down in the South but rather getting worse despite the heat. But I agree that this fall is going to be worse.

the corona virus is completely blown out of proportion.

There are many ways to handle things. There will be nothing to handle if there is no season.

The sad thing is that what you're seeing right now is this virus spreading in a slower fashion in terms of R0. It'll be a lot more contagious this fall and winter.

Just wait for the mandatory injections and mass surveillance to come out of this all under the veil of progress.  Fall in line everybody, left right left right.

That's pretty much me. The variables are pretty crazy. One 'rona bloom could wreck the season if it took down a team or two for a couple of weeks. I guess the question is if the NFL and NFLPA are ready to deal with that possibility. It would be like the injury bug on steroids. 

I don’t see how this would work without a season long quarantine of all players and coaches (which isn’t going to happen)

If one person on a team tests positive, you have to assume the entire team has been exposed. 

That team would then be out for two weeks at least. The entire schedule is then shot.

How do you determine playoff and draft order if some teams play more games than others? 

Total cluster.

this is why I don't think it is realistic to have anything close to a normal NFL season.  and teams are too massive to really quarantine an entire team for weeks...

I own a company that hires medical professionals for healthcare facilities. One of the positions that I often fill is that of an Epidemiologist. I talk to them regularly, so I have some insight into what lots of different PhD's are thinking about COVID-19. THere are lots of different thoughts on who to do and how to best help the population. However, the thing that they all agree on, that no one is talking about, is this virus is here to stay. It's not going away.

Very true. We’re all being unrealistic thinking we can make this thing go away forever.

Masks are shown to help substantially, but folks seem to be allergic to them.

We’re in for a long few years.

And the sun will still come up and life goes on with or without football. Safety is more important than football

Yeah, I agree. Even though the actual danger to the average NFL player is probably far lower than to the rest of the population, we are still in the Coronaverse.
