Doc's Morning Line: Reds' Moustakas, Senzel didn't test positive, but they did right thing

We don’t know what we don’t know. That simple statement should guide every public utterance about sports and the pandemic. Until further notice, any and all assumptions should be shelved. Two-plus-two doesn’t equal four.

Mike Moustakas and Nick Senzel did the right thing last Sunday morning. It was a courageous and selfless thing. Each reported COVID-like symptoms, despite passing all tests. Bravado is not the best option now, and that applies whether you play baseball, work an assembly line or balk at wearing a mask. When in doubt, don’t tough it out.
