For example ... Restaurants are open for carryout and delivery. The employees of they businesses are obviously working inside the businesses.

I don't think its that big of a deal to open the facilities to players (not fans)

I can see the facilities starting to open in Mid-May or so.Depends where hot spots develop and so many other things.Of course one player or god forbid an older coach gets really sick then all the sports would probably be done for awhile. 

New York was even mentioning maybe some sports later in June  Probably talk but we shall see. Someone even mentioned the Yankees and Mets can  play in less density cities like Binghamton and Syracuse. Have a Northeast league with teams playing in minor league ballparks from Toronto to DC.But all just talk.

I would imagine they could open at their home park rather than spring training. But I'm assuming the wear and tear on the stadium field would be an issue

Yes, they're awesome. I always imagine cricket field players taunting baseball players for using gloves, and baseball players taunting cricketers for their big, flat bats.

Lived in England for 3 years, many years ago. I watched more cricket than I thought I would. Never did get the grasp of the game, but to be fair, I was only amusingly watching and really not trying.

some restaurant are being allowed to reopen in some places, as long as its limited table service, and they customers can maintain social distancing from the other tables.

They could have summer  training at college campuses and stay in dorms.  

Anyway I don't know that they stay at home order is having much affect in Maryland.  I see small parks overflowing with hundreds of cars.  I see take-outs where you have to inside with 20 cars int he lots.  50 times the normal amount of people walking around my neighborhood none with masks. Grocery stores, pharmacies and hardware stores packed with people.  Really I am not sure what the point of it is at this point.

According to the morning news the NBA has given teams permission to reopen practice facilities. This is obviously the first step to resuming their season. I’m guessing that baseball will do the same pretty quickly.

Yet, the NBA had more players with COVID, than the other sports.

I am sure MLB has told players and personnel to not publicize their cases.  NHL and NBA have reported multiple cases but MLB zero

Almost every place in my town, is curbside service only, customers are not being allowed in stores. Traffic congestion is probably 2/3 less than normal. Yeah, the fast food places have long lines in the drive through, but that isnt breaking social distancing rules.

Ive seen live drone pictures of Baltimore, and its more empty than I have ever seen it.

Somehow it appears that the pro sports are able to test their players and coaching staff for COVID-19, yet, there area a shortage of kits on the street, and the public isnt getting tested without symptoms, and no retests for those with it, to ensure its gone from their system

As long as they are paying through the nose for it I'm fine with it.  The amount of tests being used for this sort of thing is negligible on a national level and if they are paying a premium for the service that money can be leverage for more value than the tests possess.

In a statement, Lisa Worley, a spokesperson for UHealth, acknowledged that the purchase might have created the impression that certain communities would receive preferential treatment for the tests.

Shame here in Md, we had trouble getting staff tested that had come into contact with COVID patients at assisted living center. They were sent home from work for 10 days before they finally got tested.

Early in the process a large amount of tests went to NBA players. Not everything should be decided by how much money you have.
