Because the NBA owners are rich and politically connected and want to safeguard their investment. 

Meanwhile in a certain hospital ,did about 623 tests yesterday  and then could not do anymore. Ran out of tests. Next week should be a little better because of availability. . 

 

Maryland has only done 151 tests.  Compare that Maine which has less positives which have done 1335 tests.

I think the minors are still playing.

Where are you getting the test counts by states from?  I’ve been following the Hopkins’ tool for confirmed cases and deaths, but it doesn’t show tests conducted.

Still not enough tests. 

Sentara Healthcare system is temporarily closing its three drive-through testing sites in Hampton Roads on Wednesday, after two days, because its supply of tests is running low, officials said Wednesday.

The sites in Virginia Beach, Williamsburg and Chesapeake are set to close at 2 p.m.

The health care system on Monday launched the screening and testing sites outside its facilities in Hampton Roads, the center of a small coronavirus outbreak, including the only deaths in the region.

A spokeswoman could not immediately say how many tests were conducted before the suspension.

The contrast between regular Americans' struggle to get tested and the NBA's capacity to test entire teams regardless of symptoms set off a mix of frustration and resentment toward the elite, best encapsulated in a tweet from New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

"We wish them a speedy recovery," de Blasio tweeted. "But, with all due respect, an entire NBA team should NOT get tested for COVID-19 while there are critically ill patients waiting to be tested. Tests should not be for the wealthy, but for the sick."

 

'Bout sums it up IMO.

    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
