As NFL season rapidly approaches, NFL showing no urgency to deal with COVID-19

It seemed unfathomable that when COVID-19 reached its (first) zenith back in March that we would still be trying to figure out how to deal with it four months later. And yet, as places begin to reopen, we’re beginning to see new cases spike again. Indeed, July 8’s 62,425 new cases (via The New York Times) was the largest single-day spike the U.S. has seen.

As MLB and the NBA scramble to find their respective seasons, the NFL has appeared to show very little urgency in finding a way to address coronavirus concerns.
