Some players will bitch because they probably have lowered interest in participating, for reasons like it being a few months removed from the season and being away from home/family. Understandable, but you're also getting paid millions to play. That some random players contracted it was because they're out in their own time and got it. Has little to do with the tournament. Once all teams are at the hubs they should be pretty well insulated.
I love how people make #### up. Yes -- many people are asymptomatic. But 1% of NHL players dying is a big ####ing deal. And we still don't have numbers of irreversible lung damage -- even if no one dies those are careers over.

Personally, I don't need hockey that badly. Over time, through various means, we will gain greater knowledge and greater control, and we can slowly trend towards "normalcy". But the idea anyone knows exactly what's going to happen is absurd. We're all figuring this out as it unfolds. If you're speaking with certainly you are assuredly speaking out of your ass.
