Health officials fear the game could seed new cases at exactly the wrong time. Just this week, the new coronavirus strain that spread quickly in the United Kingdom was confirmed in Kansas after turning up in several other states. States are in a race to vaccinate before the newcomers become widespread and additional strains emerge. The fact that it's Tom Brady seeking his seventh Super Bowl victory against Kansas City's star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, only adds to the intrigue surrounding the game. But he won't exactly be following the advice of health officials either: He plans to eat barbecue and watch the game in a friend's basement “man cave."
