Attack me all you want, this whole thing is officially overblown (and condolences if you have lost anyone...smoking kills 600k oer year, and no outrage)

It's 1 positive, but due to other players being in close contact with that one player (and probably not wearing a mask or facial covering), they may have been exposed to the virus and due to the nature of how the virus incubates for up to 72 hours (where you have the disease, are contagious, but you test negative), those players will not be able to repeatedly test negative in time for the game. As a result, one of the position groups (not sure which because I don't know if it has been mentioned) is entirely out of commission. For that reason the game is being cancelled. Not for the single, solitary positive result.

And yes, we lose a lot of people to smoking related illnesses, but we do also see a lot of anti-smoking PSAs, TV and radio ads, and "very special episodes" of shows directed at teens and pre-teens. Not sure if anyone would consider that outrage (or could, to be honest), but it does exist to show that our society is trying hard to eliminate smoking.
