The NBA announced yesterday that all of the 346 players inside its Orlando “bubble” tested negative for COVID-19. These early results are overwhelmingly positive for the league, especially in light of previous critiques which illuminated potential pitfalls with their plans to resume the season.
Despite the encouraging testing results questions remain, however, about the ethics of the NBA’s bubble, especially in light of frequent reports that Floridians face unacceptably long wait times for novel coronavirus testing results as infections soar within the state.
More directly, the NBA is reportedly testing all personnel in the bubble on a daily basis.
