Potential Vaccine For COVID-19 Gives Capital Region Sports Fans Hope
In the midst of what seems to be the reported "second wave" of COVID-19 across the world, there's a glimmer of hope that we could return to life as we knew it sooner than later. With the news that Pfizer believes it has a vaccine that's 90% effective it feels like maybe, just maybe, we can start to dream about live sporting events again.
I'll start by saying IT'S EARLY, like super early in this process, and the FDA has to approve any vaccine long before we'd have any chance of getting it, but this is the time in a very long time I see people with hope. Obviously, the implications of a successful vaccine would be far greater to day-to-day health than just attending live sports, but I'll admit that's pretty much top of my list.
What I love about the fans here in the Capital Region is that when asked what the first sporting event they'd attend once there was a vaccine, all of the answers were local sports. I'm over here getting excited to see Yankee Stadium again or hopefully make my way to Las Vegas for a Raiders game and you guys are all about your 518 sports, which is awesome.
