Let’s all be able to Go to work. If you get sick go into quarantine. But the rest of us keep working.

@ShamsCharania
Sources: On the ever-elusive question -- What if a player tests positive upon return -- Adam Silver told players the NBA would hope for daily testing at that point and no stoppage of play, having the player(s) isolated in quarantine.

He started the mass panic when he completely shut down the league after ONE guy tested positive for it.

Thats how it should have been all along. Quarantining healthy individuals, and taking away outlets for them to remain healthy is the dumbest thing in the history of mankind.

He didn’t have the tests at the time and the blowback and legal ramifications if the league continued would have been huge. Remember leagues in Europe were shutting down. Don’t be a dolt.

Daily testing is already available.

NBA (and other sports leagues) are only worried about the bad PR that could come to them if they have all of their millionaire athletes getting tested daily while Joe Schmoe on the streets can't get a test.

Now, it is retarded that this is a legitimate worry for the leagues, since the media hysterics over lack of testing is all bullshite in the first place. However, these big leagues are always worried about bad pub and/or getting sued, so it makes sense from that perspective.

He's the knee jerk a-hole who kicked this whole thing off, so it's somewhat poetic, really.
