Dr Anthony Fauci believes the NFL may need to create a bubble campus similar to the NBA in order to make their 2020 season.

“Unless players are essentially in a bubble – insulated from the community and they are tested nearly every day – it would be very hard to see how football is able to be played this fall,” Fauci told Dr. Sanjay Gupta of CNN. “If there is a second wave, which is certainly a possibility and which would be complicated by the predictable flu season, football may not happen this year.”

The NFL has still operated, at least publicly, as though they expect to have fans in the stands for the 2020 season.
