Information is vital to all decision making but interpreting said data is the real key. The COVID deniers and COVID fearful can both take the latest NFLPA interactive map and data to support their stance. The truth is somewhere in the middle. Whether one takes the “glass half full” or “glass half empty” stance, the numbers are the same. The only difference is the interpretation. Optimists will point to the fact that there are many low transmission areas, especially given the NFL is a Northeast-centric league and that is where many of the numbers are good. It is interesting that the epicenter of deaths in New York City and even hard-hit Boston now have among the lowest numbers. Is that herd immunity or widespread compliance of social distancing? The bullish will see the high Miami numbers and say the numbers will dip like New York by the time the regular season rolls around. Pessimists will point to the high levels in the South. Clearly the virus did not disappear in the summer heat.
