In case the activities of the last two weeks haven't made it clear, the NFL is moving ahead with its 2020 season amid an ongoing pandemic.On Monday, NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills provided an astute explanation for the NFL's decision to play, even as the spread of the novel coronavirus isn't showing many signs of slowing down soon."We know it's going to be tough," Sills explained during an appearance on , "but I believe we have protocols and screening in place that can help us identify this Steve Young Jersey and we've got an unbelievable commitment on behalf of the players, coaches, staffs and our medical teams and so we're all working together to do this."People often say, 'Well why are you even doing this? Why pursue and move this forward?' I think we have to have a way to learn how to coexist with this virus. The virus is not going away any time soon. This isn't just an NFL i sue or a pro sports i sue, this is for our schools, our busine ses, our places of worship, Colin Kaepernick Jersey every aspect of our lives. Are we gonna be able to find ways to mitigate risk and still have some sense of our normal lives while we live with that virus? That's the challenge we all have and that's the challenge we're embracing here in the NFL."The decision to resume profe sional sports hasn't been without relentle s scrutiny, no matter the sport, though the individual leagues have gone about restarting operations in different fashions. The National Basketball A sociation has established a bubble in Fred Warner Jersey Orlando, Florida, with stringent requirements and protocols that have so far produced a clean and productive environment for its participants.

That's all part of a comprehensive health and safety program developed and agreed upon by both the league and its players' union with the goal of preventing spread of COVID-19 as effectively as po sible.Ideally, the NFL won't encounter Y.A.

"We have contact tracing information available within a matter of minutes after a positive test and so we would then move very aggre sively to isolate not only the newly positive individual but any of those close contacts. And that whole proce s involves very regular communication between the club, their infection control officer which each team has, their team's medical staff, us on the league side, the NFLPA and their medical advisors and our third-party infectious disease expert consultants. So the decision about how to manage individual cases or a team is really a group effort with the input and direction led by the medical profe sionals and that's how we would treat each one of these cases moving forward."Skeptics might point to the length of time the NFL is Joe Staley Jersey attempting to spend completing its 101st season as a major deterrent to a safe and healthy campaign for all involved. After all, the Philadelphia Eagles have already been forced to operate without their head coach after
