Serious question though given the Adams news. Do we really think that COVID is going anywhere in the next 5-10 years? So at what point does the league stop with these automatic "you can't play" sanctions just because you have tested positive for COVID, but might not even be sick? It's an unprecedented time where professional athletes are being forced to miss games despite otherwise being perfectly fine. Conversely, we've watched athletes play through serious cases of the flu and other illnesses (guys literally puking on the field, etc.) Going to be interesting to see how the league handles this in the upcoming years because COVID is probably here to stay.

It is going to be much like the flu. You get the vaccine and it protects against a lot of variations of the flu but not all. Same with COVID. There is now another variant of COVID in parts of the world which seems to be vaccine resistant. They will keep making new vaccines as these new variants come out.
