If Tom Hanks and the NBA shut down was arguably the start of wave 1 of COVID-19 in the US, perhaps Trump in the hospital and postponement of the KC-NE game is the start of Wave 2.

NFL Quarterback Cam Newton Positive For COVID-19: Wave 2?
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world
The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings
The heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own

I think the whole "wave" thing is a bit pointless. This plague has become endemic and will probably never go away - I doubt even the next season will be normal at this point with this never ending mess.

If I owned an NFL team, I would try to get everyone in the organization into COVID-19 studies. Considering the amount of travel they do and the potential for exposure they would be ideal test subjects.

OTOH, it’s a sport where young, healthy individuals who are least likely to die from COVID are most likely to suffer injuries that will cripple or mentally damage them for life. Not need to worry about football players, the game is enough damage.

I think everyone is becoming complacent. Their are big pushes to open businesses and schools as quite frankly the economy is on the edge without any stimulus.
Now we have people moving around and trying to be normal, and it turns out this Virus is still out there ,and as Trump is proving, every bit as dangerous as before.
I think we will be heading to lockdowns again in Mid October as the Virus gets more out of hand than it was.
On the other hand, Trump's recent push to the hospital may finally convince a lot of people that have been spreading the disease to mask up.
Where ever you go, there you are.

I suspect and long believed that the NFL season for 2020 was not going to last long. There are too many variables to allow for control of spread of iCovid-19 unlike the successful efforts and ability that allowed the end of the NHL season, the NBA making it to the finals and baseball with a good chance to have its World Series championship series.
Indeed we are entering a '2nd Wave', although there wasn't much of a dip from the 1st in many areas of the world and very uneven from the initial one. Return of people to schools, colleges, the huge financial and economic need to open up restaurants and other indoor public areas has likely all combined to lead to the rise in infections, hospitalizations and deaths in many parts of the USA and the world.

Whilst in no way wishing to hijack this thread, perhaps a glance across the water to Europe will reassure some people?
After all, we have usually been somewhat ahead of the USA.
In Europe, the other football game {soccer} is now four weeks into it's season, mostly behind closed doors, with "fake" crowd noises providing "oohs" and "aahs" as the goalkeeper saves another scuffed shot.
It's all good apart from the breaking news that the (Italian) Juventus squad is in isolation after two staff fail Covid-19 tests.
But they still expect to play tomorrow (Sunday). And this is the only declared problem amongst hundreds (thousands?) of teams across Europe.
There have also been international soccer matches, both at team and national level.
Indeed there are another round of full international matches due thru' next weekend.
At the risk of suffering the "commentators curse", so far it has all gone relatively smoothly, despite a background of "second wave" amongst the general population of most European countries.
Nothing to see here; move along please.

Most of our stadiums are empty with pumped in crowd noise. Some aren’t.
Funny. It only took one pandemic for those who argue endlessly about natural selection to stop believing in natural selection.

Not all the young and healthy types get a pass: https://www.mlb.com/news/eduardo-rodrig ... -19-ordeal

The irony is they all complained about 'freedom', now their generalissimo and his moll are confined to a hospital.

The FT CV19 web site ( https://ig.ft.com/coronavirus-chart/?ar ... lues=cases ) suggests while the US had been ahead most of the way, the EU has caught up in new cases and it's now a tie. I was going to say 'dead heat' but that would be tasteless. I suppose some of that artificial crowd noise in the form of a 'boo' would be appropriate.
