Welcome back to Allocation Disorder.

I am your host, Sam Staskel, joined by your other host, Paul Tenorio.

Paul, what's up tonight, man?

Just living the dream as always, you know, COVID, COVID reporting, and very little soccer.

But that might change.

It might.

It might.

And we're going to talk a lot about that, as you might expect.

MLS is back, maybe. The league is

starting to arrive in Orlando, the San Jose earthquakes, as we record here on Thursday evening,

arrived in Central Florida yesterday. They were the first team to arrive ahead of the start of

the tournament on July 8th. Orlando entered the

bubble today on Thursday, and a few more teams will start to trickle in over the weekend and into

next week. So we are getting there. We are getting closer to the resumption of the MLS season,

maybe. Now, I think we both think that it's going to happen, but the reality on the ground

there in Florida and in Orange County, where the players and the coaches and the staff are

staying at the Swan and Dolphin Hotel, is that the coronavirus is spiking. Florida is having

a pretty serious surge of cases, looking at some of the data, the latest data. Orange County had a single day record for a number of cases confirmed on Wednesday, which is the latest data available. They're having high rates in terms of number of people tested versus positive tests.

They were up near 15% yesterday, 17% the day before.

Osceola County, the numbers aren't as high.

I don't believe it's as populous as a county.

But, you know, it's similar.
