playbook in time of pandemic

1.
Situation: single doorway entrance
to busy clinic in time of pandemic.
Open door with gloved hand,
use football skills to dodge
or slip by approaching opponents.

2.
Situation: weekly meeting with
club executive in time of pandemic.
Sit near bottle of hand disinfectant,
use politician-specific strategic skills
to avoid interaction with coughers.

3.
Situation: occasional interaction
with schoolchildren in time of
pandemic. Wash child regularly,
use swimmers’ breathing skills
to avoid inhaling child germs.

Inductive Conclusion: athletes and politicians
have the training needed to survive in time of
pandemic.
