How many tests kits and how much lab capacity has been wasted on playing games? A few million

by now? Maybe I missed it, but haven't seen anyone raising hell about that. As far as I'm concerned, all possible demand for testing nationwide should have been covered before even one test kit was used for pro or college sports.

the most irresponsible thing he could have done, but probably criminal since it may have been intentionally done to discourage people from being tested.

I'd be willing to bet that first time was the only time he was tested until he got COVID. One of the reasons they would not tell us when his last negative test was before he was infected.

at a mostly empty NBA arena.

He will be tested in the early morning before each game.

Can't risk the health of the multi-millionaire players!

He will be paid $13.25 for the extra hour of his time.

At least we will have real-time information about his Covid status.
