The Bizarre Stories of Everyday Life Within the NBA Bubble
Back in March, the original 2020 NBA season ended with a thud: The Utah Jazz were set to play the Oklahoma City Thunder when, suddenly, just before tipoff, the medical staff cleared the court because a player, Rudy Gobert, had just tested positive for COVID-19. To adjust, the NBA has now built a bubble in the middle of Walt Disney World, where 22 NBA teams are set to resume their 2020 season next week. Before they can do that, anyone and everyone who is associated with the league has been locked down in a kind of luxury quarantine.

FDA Authorizes First Diagnostic Test for Screening of People Without Known or Suspected COVID-19 Infection
July 24, 2020
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reissued the LabCorp COVID-19 RT-PCR Test emergency use authorization (EUA) to include two new indications for use: testing for people who do not have COVID-19 symptoms or who have no reason to suspect COVID-19 infection, and to allow pooled sample testing. The FDA reissued the LabCorp COVID-19 RT-PCR Test EUA to expand use of the test to anyone, after the company provided scientific data showing the test's ability to detect SARS-CoV-2 in a general, asymptomatic population. Additionally, the reissuance includes authorization for LabCorp to test pooled samples containing up to five individual swab specimens collected under observation. Sample pooling allows for fewer tests to be run overall, conserving resources and potentially allowing more samples to be evaluated quicker.

New Telecom Rule Impacts ALL Contractors... Are You Prepared?
Have you heard about Section 889 of the FY 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)? The legislation was passed to combat national security and intellectual property threats that face the United States and contains two prohibitions: Part A and Part B.
Part A went into effect last year (August 13, 2019), and prohibits the government from buying or obtaining certain prohibited telecommunications and video surveillance equipment and services.
Part B will go into effect on August 13, 2020, and prohibits the government from contracting with any entity that uses certain prohibited telecommunications and video surveillance equipment or services, regardless of whether or not that usage is in performance of work under a government contract. The Part B prohibition applies to every sector and every dollar amount. Your contracts will be impacted by Part B.
