New Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is the latest star athlete to weigh in on the coronavirus pandemic sweeping across the world.
Brady acknowledged this “new reality” as everybody adjusts:
Tom Brady on dealing with coronavirus: "There's logistical things that are happening, not just for me, for everyone. There's a lot of change happening and you try to manage it as best possible. The important thing is everybody is trying to make it work."

Tom Brady: "One day at a time is a cliché, but it's definitely not a cliché in how I'm trying to live my life right now. It's been a new reality for all of us."

It's good to hear that Brady is taking this all seriously. He is not trying to do too much or disobeying the suggestions that health officials have made.

Brady also points out the whole “one day at a time” trope. It's something we all have to do at the moment, and something the quarterback seems to have taken to heart.
It's true Brady is in a better situation than most “normal” people, as he has a lot more available to him to help cope. However, he's still in the same boat of not knowing what comes next. Plus, even if his isolation is in a “bigger” place with more to do, it's still isolation. It's likely not how Brady planned to begin this next chapter with the Buccaneers.
Brady is definitely taking things in stride, and he's going to make the best of this situation, as difficult as it may be. While it's unclear just when things will get back to normal, Brady and the Buccaneers are looking forward to the 2020 season. The New England Patriots legend will be taking over for Jameis Winston as the starting quarterback in Tampa, which should bring plenty of excitement.
