This - you knew the usual suspects would freak. I was quite frankly surprised baseball did not succumb to the predictable panic and shut down the day the Marlins outbreak happened.

I thought good for them for not. We need to learn to live with this and function with this...it ain't going away. Learn to manage the risks, adjust to the inevitable positive cases, learn from mistakes and soldier on.

But the narrative has been panic at any positive case no matter the context and demonize any attempt to work through this and shut everything down. And that narrative began so early it is very difficult to overcome it.
