Hopefully it works out, and hopefully we don't run into a relapse of the pandemic when the weather cools down again.

Would be quite a sight if the NFL games could go on as planned, I imagine the country would welcome it by September. I hope this works out.

They might as well plan for the season and then have to rework things if the situation doesn't improve.

I have a hard time seeing crowds being allowed early in September, though I guess they might play games with essential staff or whatever only.

If it comes to it. I think the NFL could just play games in empty stadiums.

Yes they would lose a lot of money on ticket sales/merchandise/etc. but it would be loss of a loss than having nothing. Still plenty of money to mane on Tv contracts, gambling, etc.

Plus I would imagine most players, given their limited time to make money want to miss a year of game checks.

Why the delay to May 9th on the schedule. It is usually mid April.
Oh I guess they want to make sure when we open against the Giants is really a set date.

A lot of sporting events are being canceled or postponed. The summer Olympics have been postponed until next summer. Wimbledon has been canceled. The NFL may be proceeding as if this will be a normal season with fans in attendance but that remains to be seen.

...and the alcohol abuse would increase even more than during a regular season.

A virus is not a living thing, just a piece of dna/RNA and a protein shell. It can only exist with a host cell. The circumstances of colder weather, runny noses, more sneezing and coughing are the reasons vital infections are greater in cooler weather. The virus doesn't care about the weather.

Aren't flu cases more prevalent in colder weather?

Yes, but the spread is due to runny noses, etc..it typically starts with young children who bring it home to their parents and siblings. But in tropical climates it's a 12 month a year occurrence.
