Hours after Florida reported its highest number of positive COVID-19 cases in a single day, NBA commissioner Adam Silver addressed the league’s plan to continue with its bubble season at Disney World in Orlando.
“We are left with no choice but to learn to live with this virus,” Silver told reporters, via Howard Beck at Bleacher Report. “No options are risk-free right now.”
The Florida Department of Health reported nearly 9,000 new coronavirus cases on Friday, crushing the previous single-day high of 5,511 from Wednesday. Orange County, where Orlando is located, reported a high of 1,051 cases and a percent positive rate of 17.
