At the beginning of November, I wrote a post about Major League Baseball's handling of COVID-19, and how baseball player Justin Turner returned to the field after the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series, despite results showing he was postive for the coronavirus and being removed from the game because of those findings.

In the past few days, the sports world has reported that up to nine people either from or connected to the Dodgers organization have now tested positive for COVID-19. All I can say is: <facepalm>. And also, I hope they all recover well.
