Episode Notes:
- Here’s the Peter King piece where he visits the Vikings facility to get an in-person look at their COVID precautions
- I mentioned a piece that brought up the “1,000 viral particles” load as a threshold for contracting the disease
- This is the helmet mouth shield, which matches the images I saw in the video call of some of the Vikings helmets
- Mark Davis is uncertain about a 2020 season
- Zachary Binnery spoke to the Toledo Blade about college football and it’s a remarkable series of quotes
- Daily testing for the first two weeks of camp, then an evaluation of positivity rate to see if they’ll move to every other day from there
- Here’s the NFLPA’s letter that cites increased injury rates post-lockout and a lot more of the players’ concerns
- Odd Tinkering is a wonderful YouTube Channel. We also mentioned Simone Giertz’s channel, WWII Battlegrounds and Guga Foods (and brother channel Sous Vide Everything)
- Serious Eats has ideas for Russets — including The Best Roast Potatoes You’ve Ever Eaten. They have a potato guide, too.
- Here’s the Fair Food Finder
- My pieces at the Athletic are all listed here
If anywhere *close* to 5% of players and staff are testing positive 2 weeks into training camp they should shut everything down immediately. I suspect it'll be much, much lower.

Or do they mean 5% of overall samples across the first 2 weeks? Exact definition matters A LOT. https://t.co/QVYAMNacib
The virus and the manner in which it affects the return of sports are resistant to our modern obsession with certainty and absolutes. Example: You can cite low death rates, but players have legitimate, significant concerns besides the possibility of their own death.
