"COVID19 is two viruses, one from the horseshoe bat and the other from the Pangolin which have been bound together. The viruses themselves are natural. Researchers who know what they are doing say there is no explanation for how the bond was formed and it doesn't appear to be natural."
Good you made that comment. I've read something similar. If it's not bound naturally, then it was done in a lab and escaped accidently or released deliberately? If the later, then it is biological warfare somewhere on a spectrum.
I've heard the lab theory both promoted and dismissed. In recent weeks, professional dialogue for public consumption on this angle, appear subdued and one can speculate why. China is quite guarded about releasing further information regarding the origin of the virus.
They'll acknowledge the wet market in Wuhan and the ties to bats, but beyond that, it seems shrouded in secrecy. As expected, and perhaps correctly, China dismissed the Wuhan lab as the cause. Whether that's uncertainty, fear of assuming responsibility, embarrassment, or something much more sinister, is rather unclear.

On fall football, it may be the twilight zone. Maybe doing conference fb for the season is not the approach. Perhaps schools in a state enter an agreement with fbs/fcs schools in a neighboring state(s).
This is hypothetical of course. Suppose the State's of NC, SC, and GA agree; 13 fbs schools. Each plays the other 12.
UNC, NCSU, Wake Forest, Duke, Appalachian St., ECU, So. Carolina, Clemson, Coastal Carolina, GT, Georgia, GA State, and GA Southern.
OK, Georgia or Clemson dominates this, but that's not the point. There's no championship. It's a scheduling apparatus that's low cost team travel, very regional, and empty stadiums with big names may matter less. Potential cancellations will be less complex. Securing TV coverage is the catcher, but some network(s) may bite on it.
Alabama, Mississippi, & Tennessee?
Ala., Auburn, UAB, Troy, So. Ala., Miss. St., Ole MIss., USM, UT, Vandy, MTSU, Memphis & (Tenn.-Martin?).
Florida & Louisiana?
UF, FSU, Miami, USF, UCF, FAU, FIU, LSU, Tulane, La Tech., LA-L, LA-Monroe & (McNeese St.?)
Weird thoughts for unconventional times, I suppose.
