Cardinals COVID-19 Outbreak: More Positive Test Results Expected, Per Report

Source: CBS Sports

Major League Baseball is reportedly bracing for additional positive COVID-19 tests among the St. Louis Cardinals. It was reported the Cardinals had at least six positive test results among their traveling party, including three from players, on Friday and Saturday. Their three-game weekend series in Milwaukee against the Brewers was postponed.

On Sunday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported the Cardinals had four inconclusive tests Saturday (one player and three staff members), and those would be in addition to the positive tests already known. ESPN's Jeff Passan adds that multiple new positives are "expected." The team said it did not anticipate having new test results until Monday, however, and would remain in Milwaukee overnight.

The Cardinals are scheduled to play four games against the Tigers in Detroit from Tuesday to Thursday, including a Wednesday doubleheader, the league announced. It's unclear how Sunday's test results will affect the Cardinals' schedule at the moment.

If you get Covid-19 and survive it, you can still have permanent damage. Why take the chance?

The only logical model is the NBA bubble, but that probably wouldn't work for football or baseball that have much larger rosters. I wonder if I will even see one game from my home team this year and would be surprised if so.
