As far as the seasonal aspect of it, yes.
This is a highly seasonal virus based on contagion. We are averaging the same amount of new infections a day WITH MUCH MORE TESTING while being 90% open as a nation compared what we saw during the tail end of the cold and flu season when this thing started. People are now out and about and businesses are open. The reason this isn't spreading like a wildfire right now is only because we are outside the cold and flu season and entered the summer months. This happens every single year. It is coming back. And it's goin to come back with a vengeance if we maintain our current standard of socialization. The only reason it isn't 200k cases a day is due to the weather & summer social patterns. |

Baseball is coming back for 60 games- we should be good for the NFL to be ready to roll.

The gloves don't really matter at all. The mask? Maybe. UV rays from the sun seem to help a lot, though, and those are much weaker in the winter.

There's some evidence that UV radiation helps, though, and that simulated sunlight wipes it out fairly quickly. |

Think about the 70,000 fans in the stadium, if every one of them watched the game on TV that would only be a .5% increase in viewers, as the average NFL broadcast gets 16 million viewers. |
