Dr. Fauci: Unless players in a ‘bubble,’ hard to see 2020 NFL season happening

With the Detroit Lions closing out their offseason program this week, it’s now just a waiting game to see the fate of the 2020 NFL season. While in Michigan, the spread of the Coronavirus seems to be slowing, it’s not nearly as optimistic in other parts of the nation. At least a half-dozen NFL players have contracted the virus, leaving many skeptical a season could possibly happen just three months from now.

One skeptic is Dr. Anthony Fauci, the current lead of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. Fauci recently had a conversation with medical reporter and neurosurgeon Sanjay Gupta about the plausibility of an NFL season this year.
