Covid-19 Meets it’s Worst Nightmare: The Miami Heat

Covid-19 has kept fans out of stadiums across the nation since March 12, 2020. I was actually sitting court-side with my brother when the “NBA Suspended Indefinitely…” message appeared on the Jumbotron after the Heat lost to the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Heat made it all the way to the quarantine Finals, falling to Lebron, AD, and the Lakers, showing that they are resilient and Covid-19 wasn’t going to be a barrier for the teams’ success.

Fast forward to 2021, and the Heat are again in the forefront of conversations in regards to combatting this nasty virus. This time, in a way that’s bigger than any World Championship. They have Covid sniffing dogs! I am as excited as Russell was when he found out Dug (the dog) could actually “speak.”

I have no idea how it works, but if it means we can get fans back into stadiums quicker, I’m all for it. If a dog can sniff a Human and tell whether or not they are infected with COVID-19, we are way further along than we were a year ago and true progress can be confirmed.

Dog, a fan’s best friend.
