Yahoo now has a "COVID-19" Designation

For what it's worth I was just pointed to the Yahoo tweet saying they're "working on it" and it appears we eventually will be able to add them to the IL. Still, that should have been possible when the players were put on the IL, adding a COVID tag is not needed. When they come off the real life IL they can update them, just like they already do for anybody else on the IL. This is beyond stupid, I've lost out on several players I could have bid on with FAAB simply because I can't move Meadows into the IL slot to make room. Yet other COVID players DID get the IL tag, before it was made clear it was COVID related, so owners of those players have had an advantage. Yahoo really butchered this. Can't believe they went through the trouble of giving refunds back to leagues that drafted before the shortened schedule was announced, changed the rules and relaunched Pro leagues, all without having something as crucial as the IL figured out. It wasn't even needing fixed! If they get added to the real life IL just update them to IL eligible! They created a problem that didn't exist, and up until today Meadows just showed as healthy, no COVID tag or anything, with the freakin Yahoo blurb on his player card noting he was added to the IL back on the 16th.

Sorry I'm getting here but in a high stakes league this has just really pissed me off.
