there was no outbreak, there was a series of players who tested positive.
Those are two different things. An outbreak refers to a bunch of people getting sick
Did you just make that up? Because..... It sounds like you just made that up. So I checked the CDC website for a definition and they say you just made that up. Follow the SCIENCE!!
"Occasionally, the amount of disease in a community rises above the expected level. Epidemic refers to an increase, often sudden, in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in that population in that area. Outbreak carries the same definition of epidemic, but is often used for a more limited geographic area. "
