Isaac Berkower Week 1 NFL season starting

 The NFL season is just about to start, trying to make things seem as normal as possible in the world. The NFL is starting its season by forcing teams to play their first two home games without fans, but after that, the teams could decide as to whether they would like to have fans in their stadiums. For example, the Dolphins have opted to have between 6000 and 8000 fans in their stadium starting on their third home game. To counteract the lack of fans in the stadium, some teams like the Detroit Lions are having virtual fans, meaning that they will ask superfans of their team to take videos of themselves that they would show in the stands. Besides the lack of fans, everything else in the NFL will be back to normal. This may present itself as a problem. The MLB has been going on like normal without fans and has seen some problems with the Corona Virus, affecting the schedule of many of their games. The St. Louis Cardinals were hit the hardest and have been playing doubleheader almost every other day which wears out the team a lot. The NFL will not be able to play doubleheaders for the obvious reasons of the physical wear down of football. So, they have to make sure that none of their players contract the Corona Virus in order to avoid scenarios like the St. Louis Cardinals. If something like this happens in the NFL, will there be a good system in place to respond?
