My question: how the hell does that happen this badly?

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Jul 28 '20, 11:12

Not every office with positive cases are having entire offices shut down due to legit cases.

These guys couldn’t got a week without infecting everyone knowing what was at stake? The Marlins are garbage.

Responses:

Part of the process players are supposed to go through is self-checking, at home, before they leave. 2 temps plus a questionnaire. -- (edited) - Flavorize Jul 28, 11:34
These guys are much closer to each other than a typical office. Just in the dugout, the locker rooms, etc. Buses to and from the hotel, etc. -- nm - pmb Jul 28, 11:29 4

Back when you were saying the players were being idiots, they were *begging* owners to take safety plans seriously. - David Jul 28, 11:26
It's a sports team. They're in close quarters, working out, breathing hard, doing everything together. -- nm - loosilu Jul 28, 11:20

This is why I'm all for schools testing every student prior to school starting and I wish businesses would do the same - oblique Jul 28, 11:18
Travel + no bubble + not quarantining once a positive test is found. This was bound to happen. -- nm - Inigo Jul 28, 11:17 2
- Also, Miami has a much higher positive rate than Tennessee does. -- (edited) - Inigo Jul 28, 11:20
- Agreed - easy for this to collapse like a house of cards with no bubble and w/travel. wouldn't be surprised if it happened to another organization too -- nm - Diva Jul 28, 11:19
