Why the NBA is telling teams not to test players for COVID-19
为何联盟告诉球队不要去测球员有没有得武汉肺炎？
The NBA is reportedly telling teams not to test its players for COVID-19 if
they aren’t displaying symptoms, and it not only makes total sense, it also
shows how complicated this whole thing is going to be to get sports back.
据报导，最近联盟告知球团，若是球员没有症状的话，不要去检测球员是否有武汉肺炎。
这说法不仅合理，这也显示了要把运动恢复正常这整件事有多么复杂。
First, the edict from the NBA: According to ESPN, the league sent out a memo
on Thursday night instructing teams not to test asymptomatic players and
coaches for the disease.
首先，根据ESPN报导，联盟下了命令，星期四时发备忘录给球团，指示不可以对没有症状
的球员以及教练作检测是否有武汉肺炎。
The memo says: “for the time being, it is not appropriate in the current
public health environment to regularly test all players and staff for the
coronavirus.”
备忘录写着：“就目前来说，以当今的公共卫生环境来说，定期检测所有球员以及工作人
员是否有武汉肺炎是不适宜的。”
This … makes sense. It also shows how hard it’s going to be to come back
from this.
这合理，这也显示要这样做有多困难。
To get the NBA back and running safely, most people agree that the players
and personnel would need to be tested regularly. The league might set up
bubble sites (Disney World has even been floated) to host games, and then
with regular testing of everyone, they could be certain that everyone was
safe and not transmitting the disease.
为了要让联盟安全比赛的话，大多数人都同意球员跟工作人员应该要定期检测。联盟可能
会设立密闭场馆(就像之前提到的迪士尼乐园)，然后定期检测所有人，那应该会确保每个
人都会很安全，不会传染疾病。
But … there aren’t enough tests to do that yet. With normal people around
the world still desperately trying to get tests, and states competing against
each other to acquire them, it would be a horrible look for the NBA to now
start regularly testing everyone in the league.
但是，目前能做的检测量是不够的。目前世界上许多正常的人也想做检测，而一些州正在
彼此在争抢这些检测，所以若是现在联盟开始定期检测所有人的话，那会非常难看。
It was a PR nightmare for the league when the world found out that every
member of the Utah Jazz had gotten tested following Rudy Gobert’s positive
test. It would be the same now.
当爵士Rudy Gobert证实感染武汉肺炎后，当全世界发现每个爵士队员都接受了检验时，那
成为联盟公关部门的恶梦。若是现在发生同样状况时，这恶梦又会再度降临。
So, we will wait. The fine line that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver must walk
here, and all the factors he needs to take into account — player health,
league finances, optics, communal health, the nation’s need for sports,
local laws, TV contracts — frankly gives me a stomach ache just thinking
about.
所以，大家得继续等下去。联盟主席Adam Silver接下来每一步都要走的很小心，所有的因
素都得要考虑
