Well woulda you know, constant testing so you can weed out the positives and let the negatives play. If we only had that kind of testing for the rest of us. Imagine if we could do that for 100-200 billion dollars and save a couple trillion? Wow!!

18 MLS players tested positive
It would be surprising if it were much lower.
The national infection rate is estimated at 5-8%. There are 780 MLS players. You would expect 40 to 60 players to have it, or have had it.

They said it was a lower infection rate than the nba. Sounds like they will be moving forward with a short tournament style season!

How about this.....assuming it's credible
What is the "Karen BS" in this context? I'm confused.

You know what the media never gets around to? The love to report players from different leagues etc testing positive as a big wow! This is bad! They never go back and tell you that nothing happened to these players.
They are all young and healthy. Their risk of dying is exceedingly small.
Untrue, look at this headline from Yahoo Sports
Rudy Gobert still hasn't fully recovered months after his positive coronavirus test
If you read the article he can't smell things from a long distance!

Hopefully he can smell the Kardashian girls coming... they're in search of some paternity money.

One adult only per player, no siblings, guests or other family members.
Have you seen that as the requirement for the tourneys, or is that your recommendation? Seems reasonable for the time being. I'd accept that for my kid to play, although were not signed up for either tournament, so it moot point for us.
Let’s go all the way back to the original Covid poster child.....Tom Hanks. Anyone remember him being broadcast cause he was stuck in Australia in quarantine? Never saw a follow up to that one.
Tesoro High School in the Capistrano School District has seven football players that have tested positive for covid.
There is a story of a young rugby player, 24, I think, that nearly died. Was in ICU, on a ventilator for quite a while. He was put into a clinical trial and survived. He had no underlying medical conditions and was in great physical shape. From what I read they think he was exposed to a high viral load. (many people exposing him at he same time.) Who knows, it does happen, probably more than is reported. Let's hope the death rate and hospital rate doesn't increase. The therapeutics are getting better and maybe we will have a vaccine available by next spring.
Dont forget all NBA players that got the virus early on too. If I saw KD fall ill and die of Corona, you got my attention. Hanks die? My wife and I are in the best shape of our lives. My wife looks 35. I had someone tell me the other day I look 45. My dd could be a swimsuit model and my son is lifting weights and is kicking ass. My wife's friend Ana is huge and I mean super unhealthy. All I hear from this lady is t this and t that and t is the devil. She tells my wife to wear a mask. I told her for the first time ever to lose weight and she said I was right and thanked me for Karing
The question is whether they got it on the field, locker room, or at a house party. Or whether the cases are even related. If the team had 100 kids for summer try outs, 7 isn’t all that unlikely.
We know teenagers can get it and spread it, especially indoors.
We also know that it spreads poorly outside, and that we have not seen any clusters at the thousands of elementary schools that re-opened in Europe and Asia.
May be that we need to draw the line at middle school age. But, if we are going to take away all in person opportunites for elementary kids to play, I‘d like a better explanation than “6 feet”.
