Infectious Diseases Professor: MLB's Plan "Was Designed To Fail And They Went Through With It Anyways ... Anyone Who Knows Anything About [Infectious Diseases] Could Have Anticipated This ... Baseball Is In Huge Trouble"

Dr. Andrew Morris, a professor of infectious diseases at the University of Toronto, says the outbreak among the Miami Marlins is not a surprise because MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred's plan was seriously flawed.

Baseball is in huge trouble, huge trouble. It makes me wonder if they are listening to the advice of experts or whether their experts are giving them good advice. This was not a plan anyone who knows what they are talking about would have conceived. It's playing out like it was supposed to play out.

Morris:

Anyone who knows anything about this problem and infectious disease epidemiology could have anticipated this.
