So here's my piece about the WWE/COVID outbreak:
Hold the local government accountable for immediately re-opening the areas and allowing professional wrestling to be essential. WWE is just doing what all businesses are doing at this current time once they're given the light.

How-fucking-ever...
It's WWE's responsibility to provide a completely safe environment for their workers. We've seen what works (testing & tracing) and we've seen what hasn't worked (not testing at all).

The outbreaks and positive tests are disappointing. The fact that they aren't having the talent/workers tested on a regular basis is disappointing. If the price of having entertainment through this period is talent are put in these dangerous situations, it's not worth it.
They can replace ring mats as many times as they want, but as long as WWE (and AEW) continue with the uncontrolled model that they have, there will be more positive cases. It's going to be the same with most other sports too.
The Florida government who are putting the lives of their people in danger by re-opening, instead of coming up (and COMMITTING) to a formal plan, should be held accountable.
WWE/AEW should also consider looking into a phased plan as well to maintain the safety of their workers.
