How likely to see NFL

I'd bet a paycheck that there will be football.  The only thing that scares me is the number of cases being reported at voluntary college camps.  I'm sure those guys will be alright, but seeing cases spread has to have the powers that be looking into restrictive quarantines when facilities open.  Injuries are bad enough in a sport like football.  Having guys quarantine for 2-3 weeks could gut a team's roster.

It's interesting, as even with our low numbers of covid over here, a game was postponed today due to the one case we had in the entire state being a teacher at a school that one of the players children attended. That player is now in isolation for 2 weeks.

In Australia we are now just 2 weeks from our stadiums allowing 25% capacity, which will be great as that should get me into see a game.
