It was time to speak with the team doctor. The AFC head coach had absorbed plenty of information about the coronavirus pandemic sweeping the country, but now he needed to hear from someone who understood medical landscape of where this crisis was headed. So he picked up the phone, called, and soon got the blunt talk he was seeking.
The team doctor had already spoken to members of the organization, but in more general terms. This conversation was more raw. "How many people could die?" the coach asked. "It could be hundreds of thousands, and potentially more would be hospitalized," the doctor told him.
