Hello

We are going to talk about takeaways from the first weekend of the season

At this point, there's so much up in the air that it would not surprise me

Entirely if by the time we published this episode the season has been canceled

Nothing at this point would surprise me

I think the positive tests of a dozen marlins is somewhat shocking

Even I think for the pessimistic view of this season

I think that the idea was that with a lot of testing and with some social distancing

Would prevent 12 people from testing positive at once

And so just the fact that 12 people could test positive at once or maybe 14 people

Just really goes to show just how virulent this virus is, how out of control it is
