How has NBA bubble prevented Covid?

[oldtimer28]

Not a case yes?

Players, coaches, other staff?

Meanwhile, the President of the United States has contracted Covid-19. Get well soon President Trump.

Didnt bamba get covid

adam silver is the best commissioner in sports, this in combination with the nbpa and cap increase has made the nba a very desirable place to play, especially internationally. adam protects his players and owners pay very handsomely to accommodate them. not something you'll see from roger goodell or NFL owners. you don't play, you don't perform, you get injured, you get cut.

Blm/politics and corporate sell outs will doom the NBA thanks to Silver

you don't need a bubble to handle covid

european sports are running normally (even with some fans now) with only marginal cases popping up here or there with nothing big enough to actually stop games from happening

Interesting but how. Just more testing?

LeBron has helped tremendously.

BLM basketball = No Covid.

Donald Trump = Covid.

I don't think they do any more testing over here than NBA does. They are just ready for contingencies. One player testing positive isn't going to shut down the whole team. NBA is kinda overdoing it. Although considering the frequency of games and travel that would be necessary as opposed to a game a week for football it probably makes sense.

The major difference is probably that the US is the biggest COVID Hotspot besides maybe India

You control who comes in and out. The president has been meeting tons of maskless random everyday while travelling the country.

Well yeah, NBA seems to at least have some protocol with masks in the bubble. Also, aren't players/staff not allowed to return if they leave the bubble? That means you have this bubble of people who have all tested negative, and aren't allowed to be with anyone who's outside of it. Would basically be near impossible to contract it.

Trump on the other hand is throwing rallies and attending fundraisers which seem like they don't require any masks to be worn, or really adhere to any kind of social distancing.

Still, he likely got the virus from one of his closest aides who travelled with him and rode the same plane for the last few weeks.
