In many states testing supplies and lab resources to conduct the tests are already stressed and at capacity.

If you have any links please post them. I thought we were at least beyond this problem. This would indeed invalidate the idea of a bubble (or anything like it) that was preserved by frequent testing.

Despite federal efforts to support testing in some cities and regions, three major diagnostic companies -- Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp and BioReference Laboratories -- said this week that the growing demand for tests have in turn increased average wait times for delivering results.

Quest said results now take an average of four to six days for the general population, much longer than the turnaround time in early June when the company was producing results in two to three days. The company said tests for hospital patients and symptomatic health care workers are prioritized and take one day on average. Quest cited "unprecedented demand," especially in the South, Southwest and Western regions of the country where coronavirus cases are spiking.

Somehow, I think that players in a "bubble" would get prioritized as well.  But this does make testing and tracing more difficult.
