Dr. Anthony Fauci Believes Coronavirus ‘Will Make The Decision' For NFL Season (via NESN)
As it stands, the 2020 NFL season is set to kick off Sept. 10 with the Houston Texans visiting the Kansas City Chiefs. But Dr. Anthony Fauci knows the coronavirus ultimately will be the deciding factor.
COVID-19 has swept the United States and has most of the sports world on hold. A decision hasn’t been made regarding the upcoming season, but a lot can happen between now and then.“will make the decision”“I think it’s feasible that negative-testing players could play to an empty stadium,” Fauci told NBC Sports’ Peter King.
He noted, however, if all factors are the same as they are now, it would be “impossible” to have a season in September. “Like, right now, if you fast forward, and it is now September … I say you can’t have a season — it’s impossible. There’s too much infection out there. It doesn’t matter what you do. But I would hope that by the time you get to September it’s not gonna be the way it is right now.”
