How many people do you think have never had a common cold? This is no different.

Actually, COVID can be a helluva lot different from the common cold. Now I didn't check to see how many of these guys are asymptomatic; if they have no symptoms or have mild symptoms, then no problem. But if they have it bad, it can be dangerous.
I believe the big thing will be that any player regardless of symptom status will be out of commission for and unable to play for a period of time; the asymptomatic will have to quarantine for 2 weeks, for example. Some with symptoms -- a bit longer. This could have a negative impact on the teams' performances this season.

As a coronavirus, COVID is part of the same cluster of viruses as the common cold. It kind of makes those infectious disease specialists look foolish for not trying to cure the common cold now, doesn't it?
