Just curious, but why are we testing pro and college athletes 1-2 times per week that have no symptoms? We don’t test normal people for COVID unless they have symptoms- why do we feel the need to constantly test athletes?

Not trying to start a pissing match, but it just seems like you are bound to have “outbreaks” if you are testing people constantly. Obviously if someone has symptoms, get them tested. How many Marlins players were totally asymptomatic and never would have known that they were COVID positive if they were regular people?
