And then there is this. The teams are still at home being tested, haven't even made it to Florida yet.
The games and the hotels they stay at would all be on the Disney World property. I guess a few restaurants would be open to them and same with a couple of golf courses.
But Florida is just exploding with new COVID-19 cases.
Who knows? Glad the commissioner feels comfortable with these numbers.

The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association on Friday said 16 players tested positive for the coronavirus in the first wave of mandatory tests done in preparation for the restart of the season.
Those 16 players were part of a pool of 302 tested on Tuesday -- a 5.3% rate of positive tests leaguewide.
Commissioner Adam Silver said the numbers were roughly as expected and that none of the 16 were seriously ill.
"One thing we're learning with this virus is, so much is unpredictable," Silver said during Friday's conference call with National Basketball Players Association executive director Michele Roberts and NBPA president Chris Paul. "We're not saying full steam ahead no matter what happens. We all talk daily, and we're gonna see how this continues to play out. But we feel very comfortable right now with where we are."
