Schools to reopen if less than 5% infection rate By CHRISTIAN FALCONE Editor-in-Chief

GROUNDED On July 13, Gov. Cuomo announced that anyone traveling to New York must now fill out a traveler form providing their contact information and whereabouts when performing a required 14-day quarantine. For story, see page 3.

Former IHM student speaks out on sexual abuse case By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor David Fox was just eight years old when he rushed home from school, grabbed a razor blade and tried to carve up his own face. Unsure of how to put an end to the sexual abuse he experienced at the hands of his elementary school gym teacher, Fox believed that self-mutilation was the only way to discourage his predator. “Maybe he thought I was pretty,” Fox told The Review this week in an exclusive interview. “So, I guess I tried to ugly myself

up.” Now 66, Fox lives in hospice care in California and admits that although those physical scars may have healed, the emotional wounds remain raw. “I know now that everything in my life, it stems from a lack of self-esteem, a lack of self-confi-

dence,” he said. “Ever since I was

11 years old, I just felt like a piece of garbage.” After developing a drinking problem by the age of 13—Fox admits to consuming a pint of whiskey a day—he lists three failed marriages, the inability to maintain sexual intimacy in relationships, and several lost professional opportunities as casualties of the mental anguish that plague him as a result of those childhood assaults, even if he didn’t always recognize the abuse as the cause of his fragile emotional state. “I realized that I pushed people away as a result of the abuse, and

I’m sad that I never had a good marriage, that I never had a relationship last more than a few months,” he said. Fox believes that he took a significant step last November toward reclaiming some power over his childhood experiences when he filed a lawsuit under the Child Victims Act statute against his ex-gym teacher Edwin Gaynor, the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Scarsdale and the Archdiocese of New York, alleging that Gaynor’s repeated ABUSE continued on page 4

Schools throughout New York state will be able to reopen classrooms come September if certain regional thresholds are met, but whether it’s enough to quell concerns of parents is another issue. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, announced on July 13 that any school in a region in Phase Four of the state’s economic reopening plan would be allowed to reopen for in-person instruction if daily COVID-19 infection rates remain under 5% over a 14-day average. Currently, all 10 regions in the state are in the final Phase Four of re-opening; New York City entered that final phase this week. “That means the virus is under control,” Cuomo said. “That means it’s safer to reopen.” The decision whether to reopen individual schools will be made during the first week in August. Westchester County, which is part of the Mid-Hudson Region, had an infection rate of 1.0% as of Monday. If a region meets that state formula, then school districts would have to comply with reopening guidelines put in place by the state Education Department, the Reimagine Education Advisory Council and the state Department of Health. That guidance consists of various things like requiring masks for students, faculty and staff while in school except for lunch periods, instruction and for during short breaks when social distancing must be maintained. At least six-feet of distancing will be required for all students and faculty while on school grounds and in school facilities. To reduce social density, the guidance recommends school districts repurpose additional indoor space and consider the usage of outdoor space where applicable.

Students will also be encouraged to be grouped into cohorts, or small reasonably sized group limits that would remain for the duration of the public health crisis while enacting measures to ensure cohorts are not intermingling. These guidelines were made available to the public on July 13. Each local school district in the state is now required to develop its own re-opening plan, to be reviewed and approved by the state by July 30. Schools, however, would immediately close if, after Aug. 1, any region surpasses a 9% daily infection rate over a seven-day average. “If the infection rate goes over 9 percent that means the virus is moving rapidly and it is not intelligent to open,” Cuomo said. “It’s the way we’ve done the economic reopening. It’s purely on the numbers, it’s on the science.” Statewide New York has reduced its overall infection rate to 1.2%. Hospitalizations were down to 716 with 158 people in ICU on Monday. Those numbers reflect lows since mid-March when the COVID-19 outbreak was in its infancy in parts of the state. But New York has also suffered more than 25,000 fatalities from the coronavirus, the highest death toll in the U.S. “We’re not going to use our children as guinea pigs,” Cuomo said. “Common sense and intelligence can still determine what we do. We have more data than any state.” But school re-openings have become an increasingly polarizing topic as the nation inches closer to September. In California, the Los Angeles, San Diego and Sacramento school districts announced last week that the school year would SCHOOLS continued on 14

‘Screening under the stars’ comes to Playland For the first time, the Playland parking lot will be transformed into a drive-in theater, presenting “Aladdin,” PG, 2019, on Friday, July 31 and “Dolittle,” PG, 2020, on Friday, Aug. 7, allowing moviegoers to enjoy classic live-action, family-friendly films in a socially distanced way. The movies are part of Westchester County Parks’ “Screenings under the Stars” series. “We have established these drive in movies so folks can have another family entertainment opportunity,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said. “These are family and children oriented movies so you can get out of the house on Friday night and enjoy Playland. We are aiming to make lemonade out of the lemon that is Playland Park being closed in the age of COVID. Remember, the tickets to these shows go fast.” “Aladdin” tells the story of a kind-hearted street urchin and a power-hungry Grand Vizier who vie for a magic lamp that has the power to make their deepest wishes come true. “Dolittle” follows a physician who can talk to animals and embarks on an adventure to find a legendary island with a young apprentice and a crew of strange pets. Both movies will be ticketed-admission

Cuomo adds enforcement to quarantine advisory CHRISTIAN FALCONE Editor-in-Chief A small outbreak of the novel coronavirus in an upstate New York county last week has led Gov. Andrew Cuomo to beef up previously implemented restrictions on out-of-state travel. Cuomo, a Democrat, directed the state Department of Health on July 13 to issue an emergency health order mandating travelers from states on an already announced quarantine list to provide contact information before entering New York to help enforce an initial 14-day quarantine period. “It’s all across the country and it’s undeniable,” said Cuomo about the rising number of COVID-19 cases nationwide. “And it’s now a threat to the state of New York.” Beginning July 14, passengers will be asked to fill out a Department of Health traveler form while on inbound flights anywhere in New York state. Cuomo said the traveler form will also be available through the ny.gov website. Enforcement teams will be stationed at

each airport throughout the state to ensure compliance. “You must give officials at the airport your form as to where you came from and where you’re going before you leave the airport,” he said about the new procedure. Violators face fines of $2,000 if they fail to provide their information before leaving the airport and can also be called for a hearing and subject to mandatory quarantine. The new order is a progression of the governor’s June 25 tri-state travel advisory, which required any travelers of states with coronavirus infection rates topping 10% to self-quarantine for 14 days when visiting New York, New Jersey or Connecticut. The infection rates are charted based on seven-day rolling averages and the list of states is updated daily. As of July 14, 22 states were now on the list.“None of this is pleasant,” he said. “We can’t be in a situation where we have people coming from other states in the country and bringing the virus again, it is that simple.” While New York sees an overall diminution of COVID-19,

the illness caused by the coronavirus, the same can’t be said for many areas of the country. As hotspots pop up in dozens of states throughout the South and out West, some governors are beginning to rollback reopening plans in response to an uptick in infection rates. And that has led to concerns for state officials over noncompliance with the governor’s travel advisory. A cluster of COVID-19 was recently found in New York’s Rensselaer County after three residents returned home on a flight departing from Georgia on July 6. The three passengers tested positive for coronavirus on July 10 and the virus has since been transmitted to at least 23 additional people, including several in an area nursing home. Prior to that, a cluster was identified in Chappaqua after a participant of a drive-in high school graduation ceremony, who had previously traveled to Florida, tested positive for the virus on June 20 and was believed to have infected up to 27 others, including a handful of cases in Mount Kisco, Bedford and

With 22 states now on the tri-state quarantine advisory list, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has added a $2,000 fine for any traveler to New York that does not disclose where they plan to spend a 14-day isolation period.

Pleasantville. “We have done a quarantine for the highest risk infection

states,” Cuomo said. “We know there has been instances of noncompliance. Noncompliance

can lead to outbreak.” CONTACT: chris@hometwn.com

4 • THE REVIEW • July 17, 2020 ABUSE from page 1

David Fox, an alleged victim of sexual abuse when he was a minor, reads a book to his two-year-old son. “I told him from the time he was young that you don’t have to be scared of everyone, but you have to be alert,” he said. “But for parents, it’s about listening to your children, because they might not be telling you everything that’s happening, but they’re telling you what’s happening in their own way.” Contributed photo

sexual abuse was enabled by the negligence and indifference of church officials. In the lawsuit, Fox claims he was molested by Gaynor from 1962 to 1965, while at IHM. Allegedly, Gaynor would often hold students out of gym activities and force them to sit on his lap in the bleachers during class. It was there, Fox said, that Gaynor often fondled and caressed students while the rest of the children played dodgeball or basketball on the gymnasium hardwood. “You would see boys up there in the bleachers on his lap during class, but I didn’t really understand what was happening until it was my turn,” he said. “But all the kids knew about Gaynor, we had songs about what he did, nicknames for him; things that 10-year-olds are not supposed to know about.” Fox soon became a favorite target of Gaynor’s, and was molested repeatedly over the next three years, both on IHM’s campus and in Gaynor’s Eastchester apartment, according to court documents. These accusations against Gaynor marked the opening salvo in a deluge of ongoing lawsuits against the former teacher and basketball coach. Since Fox’s initial filing on Nov. 7, 2019, 20 more accusers have come forward with similar tales, painting a picture of alleged assault that occurred at three different Westchester catholic schools from 1959 to 1986. Although he feels vindicated by other accusers speaking out against Gaynor, Fox told the

Review that he believes that the number of accusers who have come forward likely pales in comparison to the actual amount of victims over the years. “For every kid that filed lawsuits, there are probably 10 or 20 that didn’t,” he said. “It wasn’t just 21 kids, it was hundreds of kids.” Like many who have come forward, Fox says that the emotional consequences of the abuse have been crippling, even after several decades. As Fox mulled over the possibility of suing Gaynor and the Archdiocese, the profound sadness he felt as a result of his lost opportunities in life began to be replaced by another emotion: rage. “This man destroyed me, he destroyed my life,” he said. “When I started to think about it, I realized I could have had a better life, and that’s when the anger started.” Fox’s anger was not only directed at Gaynor, but also at the institutions which he believed allowed Gaynor’s sexual abuse to continue unchecked. In 1967, approximately two years after the abuse had ended, Fox worked up the courage to alert IHM Monsignor John Caldwell, only to be met with disbelief and hostility. “At first, he was like ‘How can I help you, my son?’ but as I told him what had happened, I could see his face getting redder and redder, like smoke was almost coming out of his ears,” Fox said. “Finally, he held up his hand to stop me, told me to get the hell out of his office, and had two

guys come in to escort me out.” Fox took his complaints to another priest, Father Walter Schroeder, and Gaynor would be dismissed from IHM shortly thereafter, only to land another coaching job at Holy Rosary School in Hawthorne. But by the 1980s, Gaynor was back at IHM, once again employed as a basketball and baseball coach, a fact that Fox only learned last December after another accuser came forward alleging that Gaynor had abused him at IHM between 1985 and 1986. “It blew me away, I couldn’t believe it; how could [IHM] just forget what happened just 20 years earlier?” Fox said. “But back then, the church felt that it was untouchable.” As the civil case against Gaynor, IHM and the Archdiocese moves forward—a recent court order determined that Gaynor, now 85, must be deposed by Aug. 7—Fox remains adamant that justice and closure—not financial gain—are his motives behind the lawsuit. Fox told the Review that, should he win the case, he plans to donate any and all compensation he receives to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “I would love to sit on that stand, look him in the face and tell him just how much he f**ked me up, but I don’t think that’s going to happen,” Fox said. “But seeing others come forward with similar stories, that validates me, it empowers me and it makes me feel like I wasn’t alone.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com

to assist local school districts with reopening

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March, Westchester County government has worked closely with local school districts across the county to provide assistance and public health support to protect our schools, teachers, staff and most importantly our students. In order to create a more streamlined process as Westchester County school districts prepare for the fall, the county has established a working group designed to further provide information and support around the areas of public health, emergency preparedness and response. The goal of the task force is to help create a more efficient way to provide feedback for common issues that may arise such as: the bulk purchasing of Personal Protective Equipment, PPE, suggesting vendors for Plexiglas dividers and signage, offering assistance with contact tracing and developing a standardized frequently asked questions document. “No one knows what we will be up against when our school districts start to reopen again,” County Executive George Latimer said. “If we do see plans for a return in September, administrators will have a limited amount of time to make crucial decisions about how to provide a quality education for our students, while maintaining their health and safety, which will always be our top priority. It is my hope that this working group will make the transition process smoother, and provide an easy venue for districts to reach out to us for the support they may need.” Last week, the New York State Department of Health and Board of Regents released specific guidance requiring all school districts to develop a re-opening plan, to be reviewed and approved by the state. The first action steps for the county’s school reopening working group are as follows: • Create a survey for school districts, to be collected by the superintendents, to identify the quantity and type of PPE gear required for a safe reopening. The county will assist in procuring the equipment through outside vendors.

• Host webinars centered around specific aspects of returning to school: proper school cleaning, food provisions for kitchen staff, protocols for contact tracing, and attaining PPE gear. • Designate points of contact at the Westchester County Department of Health to assist with health care concerns as they arise. Joseph Glazer, deputy commissioner of the county Department of Community Mental Health, has been named leader of the working group. “Having provided additional linkage between the Westchester County Department of Health and our schools since the beginning of the pandemic, I understand how important it is for all of us to work together,” Glazer said. “I am humbled to be helping lead an effort with the goal of returning students to schools and classrooms that are safe for everyone.” Joining Glazer will be White Plains Schools Superintendent Joe Ricca, Susan Spear and Aviva Meyer of the County Executive’s Office, Dr. Dial Hewlett, Peter DeLucia and Marina Yoegel of the Health Department, and Hernane DeAlmeida from the Department of Public Works. “Under the strong leadership of County Executive Latimer and our talented County partners, coordination and collaboration between the County and our public school districts has been consistent throughout the complexities of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Ricca said. “We are grateful for this continued partnership as we all work to continue to support our children and community members throughout Westchester. As we look to the future, with a hopeful eye to welcoming our children and staff members back into our classrooms, we know that this partnership will remain critical in providing for the health and safety of our communities. It remains an honor to work alongside so many committed professionals in support of our children. Together, we will move through these challenges successfully and we will be stronger for the shared effort.” (Submitted)

Fridays , July 24 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Shop with local small farms and small scale food makers every Friday until Thanksgiving on the property of the Thomas Paine Cottage Museum. Small scale local farms bring fruits and vegetable, starter plants, eggs, honey and more to the property of the Thomas Paine Cottage Museum on Fridays from 9am to 2pm. They are joined by small scale food makers with artisan breads and baked goods, pickles, estate grown coffee, organic and kosher California olive oil, prepared foods and local seafood. SNAP EBT welcome, Fresh Connect Checks available. FMNP WIC/Seniors checks can be used at the farm stands. Here are some guidelines to shopping the farmers market: - Please wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth. - Leave 6 feet of space between yourself and the person in front of you if you find yourself in a line (that’s about two arm lengths). - Send just one person to the farmers market to shop. - Take social conversations with friends and neighbors outside the market area (but continue to follow the social distancing rules!). - Ask for the product you want to purchase and the salesperson will gather it together for you at the register (vegetables too). Do not touch or lean over displays. - We have asked our vendors to pre-package everything they possibly can. We hate all the plastic too but it minimizes food exposure and maximizes grab-and-go purchasing. We apologize if that means you can’t get items in your preferred amount. - There will be no food sampling or cooking in the market. Please support vendors who you usually buy ready-to-eat food from by purchasing some of their packaged products. - Keep bikes and dogs outside the market area. - If you have pre-ordered bring your order summary with you to speed pick up Thomas Paine Cottage Museum.

A 2019 study published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation found the risk of having or dying from a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular disease more than doubled in young adults with multiple income drops over a 15-year period compared to those with steady paychecks.

Can a pay cut hurt your health? By American Heart Association News COVID-19 poses plenty of direct threats to Americans’ health. But with economic hardships mounting, the disease also might be posing an indirect threat — through shrinking paychecks. Recent research has linked sharp changes in income with subsequent health problems. A 2019 study published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, for example, found the risk of having or dying from a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular disease more than doubled in young adults with multiple income drops over a 15year period compared to those with steady paychecks. Another 2019 study, in Neurology, found income volatility during peak earning years was associated with reduced brain function in midlife. The implications for people who have lost jobs recently are likely significant, said Adina Zeki Al Hazzouri, assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health in New York. “Sudden income changes such as those accompanying the pandemic, as well as any perceived financial instability or difficulty, are likely to result in negative health consequences,” Zeki Al Hazzouri said. She is a co-author on both recent studies, which drew data from the long-running Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study, or CARDIA. Those consequences are distinct from the well-established connections between poverty and poor health, said Dr. Edward Havranek, director of medicine at Denver Health Medical Center in Colorado. And although the exact reasons for the link between plunging income and later health problems aren’t clear, one obvi-

ous suspect is stress. “As our wealth drops, we have the same set of obligations,” Havranek said. Our mortgage doesn’t change. Our car payment doesn’t change. That’s stressful, he said. And stress has physical consequences. “When you have this psychological stress, you have hormones released, you have change in your nervous system output – all those kinds of things that, over time, lead to inflammation of the blood vessels, high blood pressure and all these things that we know cause heart disease,” he said. But Havranek said the link between big drops in income and health problems has more layers than that. For most Americans, for example, health insurance is linked to employment. “So, if you have a drop in income, especially if it’s related to the loss of a job, many people lose access to their usual source of health care — and don’t take their medicine, don’t get follow-up, are reluctant to come in at early signs of trouble and have more heart disease and poorer outcomes as a result.” Havranek wrote a commentary on a 2019 study that looked at the issue. That study, in JAMA Cardiology, linked a drop in income over a six-year period with a higher risk of heart attack or stroke over 17 years. Yet an income increase over that time yielded a significantly lower risk of heart disease. This was after researchers accounted for sociodemographic factors and health behaviors. Having health insurance could be an influencing factor, the study authors said. Other possibilities: Someone suddenly making less money might shift to less-healthful food. They might turn to un-

healthy coping behaviors such as smoking or drinking alcohol excessively. A big change in income also might be a signal of some other factor that could affect heart health — such as marriage, a divorce or the death of a spouse. The research has focused on large changes in income. In the JAMA Cardiology study, for example, the harm was seen at cuts of 50%. “This isn’t, ‘I was doing 40 hours a week, and now I’m doing 36,’” Havranek said. “This is, ‘I was doing 40 hours a week, and now I’ve got nothing for a month.’” To protect people from sudden changes, Zeki Al Hazzouri said governments should consider policies to help people suffering from financial hardship. Similarly, Havranek emphasized the importance of making sure struggling people could maintain health insurance. But, he said, people also might be able to take personal steps to mitigate harm. Someone in an economic crisis is going to be focused on immediate needs: “I have to find a job. I’ve got to deal with all these other financial problems,” he said. “That’s what’s right in front of you. That’s where you spend all your time.” But he suggested people in such a tough situation try to reserve at least a small amount of mental energy to think about the long term — to be careful about alcohol consumption, to resist any temptation to start or resume smoking, to think about exercise, to not neglect heath issues. “A really worthwhile thing to do is to remember that as awful as this is, awful times have gone away in the past,” he said. “And you have to plan for that.”

Health Notes

Life after lockdown

Your post-quarantine health checklist By American Heart Association News COVID-19 lockdowns are easing across the U.S., but is it safe to go back to the gym? Or the doctor? And when it is safe, what should be on your post-lockdown health checklist? As you prioritize your health to-do list, be aware of coronavirus rates in your area, your personal risk from COVID-19 based on your age and medical conditions, and what experts are advising in your area and for your personal care.

Reschedule missed procedures or screenings

Work with your health care team to reschedule high-priority procedures or screenings, where available. In a recent report, 16 North American cardiovascular societies issued guidance for health professionals on safely reintroducing diagnostic tests and invasive cardiovascular procedures, with an eye to regions with lower rates of infection. The pandemic has taken a toll on cardiovascular care, said cardiologist Dr. Robert Harrington, chair of the department of medicine at Stanford University in California. He coauthored the report as president of the American Heart Association. “We’ve seen a large drop-off in patients seeking acute care for suspected heart attacks and strokes. There’s been a decrease in more elective procedures such as exercise testing, cardiac catheterization and other procedures. Anecdotally, we also hear of people having worsening symptoms at home, with a reluctance to seek care for issues such as heart failure management.” Among other concerns, the new report stresses the need for cardiovascular care providers to

prioritize procedures or tests with the most benefit for the most people, and to balance risk of further care postponement against risk of further spreading COVID-19. “Video and phone visits remain the preferred mode for care for the near future as social distancing, masks and good hand hygiene remain critical to prevent and reduce the risks of infection,” Harrington said. “There should be local protocols for all of this in the clinical environment that also take into consideration recommendations from local public health departments.” The American Cancer Society addresses similar questions about resuming cancer screenings and exams, urging people to talk to health care providers about their personal situations and whether they’re having symptoms. Among the considerations: balancing the risk of the cancer being screened for against the risk from COVID-19, how involved the screening is, how active the coronavirus is locally and what local health officials advise, and precautions taken by individual medical centers to prevent COVID-19’s spread.

Touch base with your primary care doctor

People who have missed routine medical care can schedule a catch-up visit, including by telephone or video. Primary care providers will want updates on their patients’ health during the pandemic, including any weight or diet changes, depression symptoms, sleep problems, and COVID-19 or other illness. They’ll want to know how home monitoring of chronic conditions has been going. Also, primary care providers can help people balance their personal health vulnerability against

local COVID-19 infection trends to determine whether and when to pursue in-person visits for routine care like vaccinations and dental checkups. It’s safe for most people to return to health care facilities, said Mercedes Carnethon, an epidemiologist and vice chair of the department of preventive medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago. “Health care delivery teams have been thoughtful about setting up their offices in a way to reduce the probability of exposure by wearing protective health equipment such as masks and gloves, reducing the number of patients in the waiting room at any single time and converting those visits that can be done remotely to telehealth,” she said.

Take care of your lungs

Given that COVID-19 is a respiratory disease, keeping the lungs healthy should be high on the to-do list, Carnethon said. Because smoking and vaping cause lung damage that’s preventable, she said, “Don’t start smoking (or vaping) now, and search for resources to help with quitting.”

Make a plan for future medical care

Any health care checklist can include discussions with family about future health decisions in the case of serious illness, with the goal of recording those wishes in advance health care directives. AARP and the AHA provide resources to help.

Set and follow through on health priorities

“The same principles of a healthy lifestyle hold true in our post-COVID world as they did pre-COVID,” Carnethon said. “Individuals will thrive by com-

mitting to a lifestyle where they are thoughtful about what they eat, how much they move and how much they sleep.” In particular, physical activity can promote both physical and mental well-

ness, she said. People ready to venture back to the fitness center should evaluate whether the risk of COVID-19 transmission is low or high in their community, experts say. As-

sess the protective measures put in place by the fitness center, such as limiting the number of people, appointment-only entry, limited or no locker room access and signage about physical distancing.

Thank you! -Bella

No fans, no problem LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

The Major League Baseball campaign kicks off in earnest on Thursday night, but this past weekend, fans had a chance to see what the season might look like as the sports world adjusts to life without spectators. And despite my firm position as a baseball traditionalist, I have to say, I’m not hating it. Starting on Saturday evening, the New York Yankees played three “Summer Camp” games to prepare for Thursday’s opener; two against the cross-town Mets, and a Friday finale against the Phillies. And while the games certainly had their quirks—the noticeable lack of ballpark atmosphere being chief among them—it was easy enough for me to look past for one simple reason: baseball was finally back. Of course, it was strange seeing cardboard cutouts propped up behind the backstop in Citi Field. There were obvious hiccups as Met announcers Keith Hernan-

dez and Ron Darling griped about calling games at Yankee Stadium remotely. As for Aaron Judge’s Monday homer that came after the Phils had recorded three outs? The less said the better. But it didn’t matter, at least in my eyes, because we were watching baseball. I’m not the sort of fan who cares about television ratings or how many eyeballs are tuned in to watch a particular game. But I’d bet money that the last three games did healthy numbers, whether they be compared to the average Spring Training contest or a standard July showdown. And that mainly stems from the fact that we’ve been so starved for sports over the last few months that we’re willing to watch anything that approximates legitimate athletic competition. Sure, golf and NASCAR have been back for a while. I’ve even heard rumors that Major League Soccer is still a thing that exists. But the most exciting sports programming I’ve seen since March is undoubtedly the Netflix offering called “Floor is Lava,” which fea-

tures teams of adults leaping from cabinets to divans in order to escape bubbling water dyed orange to approximate magma. So you can say I needed this. Of course, there are still kinks to work out. I don’t love the new three-batter rule for pitchers, for instance, and the piped in crowd noise feels phony, like I’m watching a 1990s sitcom featuring Patrick Duffy. But we will just have to accept the new realities of the game if we want a game to watch at all. And as someone who has questioned the wisdom of sports leagues opening up this summer, I have to say; once the balls started flying, I was all aboard. Our country might not be opening up any time soon, but if there’s baseball on TV every night, I’ll at least be able to sit back in my living room, crack a cold beverage and pretend that everything is A-OK. And in times like these, maybe that’s all we can ask for.
