    I think you're right but it's important to take a deeper dive into what "some work" means. Right now the CDC says a positive test needs at the very least 10 days of quarantine. So far on sports teams positive tests among athletes have often been coming in small bunches of like 4-5. That would be enough to PPD games. Then you have to look at how many games. On average in the NBA this upcoming season, 10 days would mean 6 games. For positive tests in the NFL, teammates who are at risk because of close contact but test negative have to quarantine for at least 3 days with several additional negative tests. So if the NBA is the same a single positive test could still end up with 2 PPD games easily. It's going to be hard to keep this train on it's tracks.

    Money talks. Athletes probably get priority

    I'll treat this thread as if it's a general Covid issues thread:

    This is disappointing to see all the other teams starting up and we are closed up. Was this just bad luck or a failure in management?

    is the PF still closed? All the news say it was closed that first day. I wouldn't blame management-- it's just rampant.

    Agreed. You can't blame management for this. We don't even know who tested positive and if the tests were even accurate. Based on other sports the initial "positive" testing seems to be higher when players first show up to camp. Let's wait to see who it is first.

    We should sign Rona to a 10 day contract.

    I think we should get every team in the league, except the Blazers, to bring Rona in for a try-out.

    Maybe Canada knew what they were doing when they kicked the Raptors down to Florida for the season.

    The Blazers should've never brought in SlyPokerMinx for tryouts!

    Only 3-4 positive tests? Is Mrs HCP taking a break or something?

    I think they would be considered emergency surgeries.
