Many front-line health care workers are watching the return of sports with mixed feelings as they try to reconcile their fandom while knowing playing games may put athletes and others at risk of transmitting COVID-19.
Rosenthal has been a nurse for two decades, but she's also a fan of Michigan football, and the Denver Broncos. When she thinks ahead to football season, she can't imagine watching two players collide in a game on TV and not wondering whether one of them has COVID-19. She can't think about seeing fans in the seats — even in a limited capacity — without also thinking of them streaming into and out of the stadium in crowds, or lining up at a bathroom or concession stand.
That feeling of uneasiness lingers even for some nurses and doctors who are not actively treating COVID-19 patients, but might have colleagues who do. Chris Hutchinson, an emergency room physician at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, was an All-American defensive lineman for the Wolverines and now has one son, Aidan, on the team. He knows how financially important sports like college football are to athletic departments, universities and local economies. He views the return of sports as vital, and has no qualms or concerns about his son playing this fall.
Hutchinson acknowledged that there are other front-line health care workers who disagree with him — including an older doctor at his own hospital, with whom he works regularly. Hughes, who now works at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and is training to be an anesthesiologist, would be another.
