Adam Silver admits more COVID-19 cases in NBA's 'bubble' could shut down
season again
Adam Silver承認 若有更多球員在閉門比賽檢測出陽性 可能會再度中止比賽

NBA teams have begun flying to Orlando to restart the season at Disney World,
where they will isolate for two days and undergo more coronavirus tests
before playing again.
NBA球隊們已經開始飛往佛州迪士尼準備重啟本季賽事，他們會先被隔離兩天，然後再做武
漢肺炎檢測，然後才開始打球。

At that point, the NBA will hope it has set up a “bubble,” a concept
endorsed by Dr. Anthony Fauci in which a league plays games in isolation to
prevent players from being exposed to the virus.
以現在的狀況，聯盟希望可以建立一個"封閉場所"的概念，也是Dr. Fauci所建議的，就是
聯盟要在一個隔離的狀態打球，以避免球員暴露到病毒。

Per ESPN, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said at a virtual conference that the
league expects to see more coronavirus cases as teams arrive. If the league
encounters more cases after that, though, the situation could apparently grow
dire:


"We won't be surprised when they first come down to Orlando if we have some
additional players test positive," Silver told Fortune Brainstorm Health.
"What would be most concerning is once players enter this campus and then go
through our quarantine period, then if they were to test positive or if we
were to have any positive tests, we would know we would have an issue."


"... We would know that there's in essence a hole in our bubble or that our
quarantine or our campus is not working in some way," Silver added later. "So
that would be very concerning."
「我們會知道，就是我們的"封閉場所"有了漏洞，或者我們的隔離檢疫某種原因沒效，」
Silver說。「那就會非常令人擔心了。」

Silver said any significant amount of positive cases inside the protected
campus could result in a second shutdown of the NBA season.
Silver說在迪士尼封閉場管理，任何顯著(significant)數量的陽性案例可能就會導致第二
次的賽事中止。

That last sentence is obviously the NBA’s nightmare.
那最後一句話很顯然的就是聯盟的惡夢。

Just one coronavirus could turn into dozens if a player enters a game not
knowing he could transmit the coronavirus to other players, and dozens of
cases would be more than enough to endanger the entire league. Ideally, a
bubble league would prevent any players from being contracting the virus,
but, unfortunately, we already know the NBA’s Disney World set-up won’t be
a true bubble.


While NBA players, coaches and other staff will be staying on the Disney
World campus until the end of their seasons, the Disney World employees
cooking their meals, cleaning their rooms and doing everything else to
support them will not.
球員，教練以及工作人員會待在迪士尼場館直到本季結束，但是迪士尼裡那些幫忙煮飯，
清潔以及其他的人員卻不會。

And many of those employees live in some of the worst COVID-19 hot spots
right now, according to the Orlando Sentinel:
根據奧蘭多報紙Sentinel報導，很多那些工作人員現在住在武漢肺炎大爆發的地方。

"Of the 20 Central Florida ZIP codes with the most Disney workers represented
by union Unite Here, half rank in the region’s top 30 ZIPs for confirmed
COVID-19 cases, an Orlando Sentinel analysis shows. More than 8,600 Disney
workers live in those ZIP code areas."


"Measures will reportedly be taken to minimize exposure between Disney
employees and the NBA, like masks, other protective equipment, social
distancing, frequent cleaning and frequent testing. But all it takes is one
leak to create a problem."
「據報導將會採取一些措施減少迪士尼員工跟聯盟人員的接觸，像是口罩，個人防護裝
備，社交距離，常清潔以及頻繁的檢測。但是，這一切只要有一個疏漏就會造成大麻
煩。」

A number of NBA players have indicated they are preparing for the worst.
一些球員已經表示他們已經準備好要面對最糟的狀況。

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, New Orleans Pelicans forward
Brandon Ingram and Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid are all among the
players skeptical of the NBA’s plan.
阿拓後衛Damian Lillard，鵜鶘前鋒Brandon Ingram，76人中鋒Joel Emiid就是那群對於
聯盟計畫表示懷疑的人之一。

Embiid said he “hated” the idea, Ingram said he’s “not very confident”
the NBA’s experiment will work and Lillard doubted players would adhere to
the NBA’s rules. Several more players have already opted out of the bubble,
for varying reasons.
Embiid說他"討厭"(Hated)這個想法，Ingram是說他對於聯盟的實驗是否會成功"沒啥信
心"，Lillard則是懷疑其他球員是否會遵守聯盟規則。一些球員也已經因為其他原因選擇
不打復賽。

那篇文章底下有問說大家對於能否打完本季賽事的想法。
以美國現在的狀況，我投打不完一票。
