It’s not hard to comprehend. That’s why he’ll be kept away from others for a while. Not a big deal, or any reason to cancel anything...
Of course, your worst case scenario hypothetical also assumes asymptomatic persons can spread the virus...They can... not hypothetical...

Corrected. Sometimes Darwin does not work fast enough and needs a helping hand before defective genes are passed.
Just to be clear you work without safety equipment?... because I do and yet still was exposed... got sick... recovered and tested positive for the antibodies... ps I survived cancerous tumor last year... just a little bit scary.

It's frustrating because the virus ranges from no symptoms to deadly symptoms depending on your age and overall health. You'd think not having any symptoms would be a good thing but not with this virus. Without knowing your carrying the virus you're more likely to go out and spread it to somebody else extremely vulnerable.
Generally speaking true, but it varies so much... healthy people die and compromised people have barely felt symptoms... blood type is one factor and they are discovering others, but it is a weird virus... Also reports of long term lung and heart issues is some people even without symptoms.. again the randomness of the virus is tough to deal with.

Oh stop we are in the multi millions now and covid for you deniers causes heart attacks... pulmonary embolisms brain aneurysms and national testing facilities have been screwing up results. This disease is no joke... take a ride to a Fla Hospital right now.

Yeh NYT times has gone the way of Fox News I dont read or watch either. I check a variety of news sources to see what might be credible. WSJ has some credible stuff though not always, Bloomberg seems ok but still has meh stuff. Journal of Econ pretty good. The Hill reports both sides stuff so take with a grain of salt.

Cant find much but he did so during 2016 campaign. He is FOS
He is reportedly most watched commentator in US

Not that any doxxing is right, but as near as can tell, it looks like the doxxing that Carlson is accused of occurred in the comments section of a website he is part owner of. Agree that the website should be better at taking stuff like that down, but not sure how they keep stuff like that from getting posted at all unless all comments are pre-moderated. Does any site do that?
There seems, again IMHO, a bit of a difference between a newspaper planning to (as it seems the NYT hasn't published his new address yet, and hopefully they don't) doxx someone & a commenter to a website posting that information.
Think you are splitting hairs... tacit or active doxxing results in same thing... its an excuse... though NYT should know better... Tucker and his ilk I expect this shiite from...
-
During last Presidential campaign he did it at least once if my memory serves. Found one example https://www.peacock-panache.com/2018/11/the-blazing-hypocrisy-of-the-tucker-carlson-harassment-incident-35097.html
Again I dont agree with doxxing but guy is FOS

NB, you're a good guy. But this is a really bad take IMHO.
You know darn well that in the current climate doxxing him is a call for defacing of his property at minimum and likely significantly worse. If being arrogant was worthy of that treatment there are several thousand celebrities (in several arenas) that need to start hiring private security for everyone they care about. And this country would be taking a major step towards becoming a 3rd rate republic. Civilization doesn't advance, nor even stay together, under mob rule.
He has practiced it himself, again I dont support it but the guy lives by the sword... biggest hypocrite going.

Great! So you have no problem with leftist reporters being doxxed?
At this point everyone is being doxxed.., Tucker has done it himself... no I dont do it nor approve of it... but if anyone deserves it... not saying doxxing is right...

Can I have your NAZ to spread over the internet? I am going to present you as a pro-Trump. I am sure you will be fine. I am certain your family will be fine. Your house will not be set ablaze. No one will show up to try and harm you, your family, your pets, or your property. Pinky-swear.
"Deserves to be doxxed"!? You have a ***** screw loose.
Deserves yes... should be no... doxxing is abhorrent but you live by the sword...

Oh common Trump is nuts get over it... the question is, is his narcissistic corrupt Constitution violating, China hating (fine by me), deal cutting demand for ring kissing bent etc better for this country better than a Biden's stuttering, Obama rehash, wide ranging coalition that is impossible to keep together, health care for everyone btw wear a mask, Russia hating etc better for our country. I dont know... the racist shiite and covid denial hurts Trump in the burbs... the looting in cities hurts Biden... not the protests. China stuff helps Trump... anti Russia mixed for Biden... we will see... polls mean little at this point and Trump could do better with media he doesnt know how to work them and still hasnt figured them out. The biggest concern is his disrespect for our military. They keep turning on him he is done imo.
10 minutes ago, Joe in Winslow said:And the New York Times doxxing Tucker Carlson. Do you people finally understand that the media is the enemy of the people and need to be shut down? They're dangerous.
Tucker deserves to be doxxed... he is an arrogant prick among arrogant pricks... not saying he is wrong but common guy used to be smart on fights he picks.

The pandemonium about the rise in Covid cases is just absurd. My three kids and ex wife have all probably gotten it in the past 4-5 weeks. And the worst was my older son (college football player) who had stomach flu for 3 days. My daughter (young adult) felt tired, and my younger son (17) had a 100 degree fever for about a day and a half. My ex wife had a cold for a week. It took her at least 8 days to get her test results, and by that point she was absolutely fine. Most of the people who get the virus have mild symptoms to no symptoms. The death rate for healthy people in general and those under 55 is very very low. So I am not even sure why the players are that scared of even getting the virus. Its not going away anytime soon. And we just need to deal with it on an individual level as best we can. The NFL players are young and healthy. If they are that afraid, then don't play. But why should they get paid? The fear and overreaction that has enveloped a good portion of society (including many on this message board) is staggering. Its like most adults have never dealt with tough times struggles or hardship in their life. I see all of that every day in my business for the past 30 years. Unless the death rate starts approaching levels last seen during the Black Plague of the middle ages, (a little hyperbole to make a point) I do not see any reason to get overly alarmed . And I sure hope the NFL players feel the same way.
Hey Nascar keeps rolling. And they actually had a decent amount of fans at the race in Ft Worth yesterday. I suggest you all start following it. It is that exciting. And this is coming from a huge football fan for over 4 decades. Now I just hope I can have both!!
Sorry but most of what you posted are not symptoms.... fever maybe stomach flu nope. PS I had it, it sucked, high fever, head aches, heart palpitations, abdominal pain, weakness... tested pos for antibodies... and yes I work in a hospital in southern NY where we saw up to 11 people die a day... still see people dying of it though more like 2-3 a week. It causes heart attacks, PEs, and aneurysms. Treatments have gotten better and there is some trial stuff out there that is very promising. That being said... this is not a joke... it causes longterm lung scaring in younger asymptomatic people...

I think some of the players, especially the older "star" players, are worried about effects like this, from rowing World Champion and Olympic medalist Emily Regan.
The point that gets missed, Over and Over and Over again - the impact of this disease is far more than mortality. It's how many people have mild disease, but become ill enough to feel an impact (and elite athletes feel impact at a point where Joe and Jill Jones from Johnstown don't).
I could be wrong, but I think some of the things they're worried about are, if they play and contract covid-19, arguably (but not proveably) at a team facility or from football-related activities, how will the team handle it for various player contracts and various points in the season. Key points that might be in contention:
-Will players who participate, take all mandated precautions, and contract covid-19 be treated as injured (pay) or as NFI, non football injury (no pay)?
-For UDFA and UFA trying to make the team, will they get a salary for the season? Will they get an injury settlement, and if so for how long? Or will they just be paid for camp?
-What about if they suffer lasting (measurable) impact?
That kind of thing.
I'm not going to go into the "Black Plague" toughen-up-you-weanies-140k deaths-is-nuttin' silliness here. You can wander over to the covid-19 discussion threads and I'll be happy to entertain your enlivening thoughts on the subject with some math and facts.
The scheme I've seen is actually a clever piece of technology. It's holes in a plastic shield, but they're offset so as to prevent expulsion of particles.
You wouldn't think it would work, but it's actually quite clever.https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29454756/nfl-unveils-oakley-mouth-shield-combat-coronavirus
Looks like it might work... wonder if hockey uses the lower part in its full shield. Nice
-
Dumb question, what do the new masks look like... are they like full hockey shields? Just havent seen them.
Based on concepts probably gonna need some cloth filters over cut out openings in the shields and maybe put some cut outs up near top of shield imo to lessen droplet exposure

You are forgetting a number of facts. One - there is a flu vaccine. Even a semi-effective flu vaccine provides *some* protection to those infected.Two - the flu is less contagious and less fatal. This is a fact. More people have died of Covid in three months than the flu in a year. Three - Covid can overwhelm hospital ICU departments. The flu does not. Three - there are a few treatments for the flu, like Tamiflu. Four - there is a general herd immunity for the flu. Most smart people get a flu shot. That doesn't exist for covid.
The idea of comparing covid to the flu is just false equivalency. It's kind of stupid.
I certainly hope you consider others in difficult situations when you make your decision not to wear a mask, and the impact your selfishness might have on others.
6 hours ago, Beast said:In other words, you won't answer the question.
Can you point to a post last fall where you said people should be wearing masks during the Flu season and that the NFL stadiums should be shut down because people are dying?
I mean, that's a pretty big thing, right?
Todd answered your questions pretty succinctly. I would add that the incubation period for covid is longer... up to 14 days and many people have it and spreading it for longer without knowing it (pre-symptomatic) or even having symptoms at all for those 14 days.

Actually because I work in a hospital I do wear a mask. It sucks people die from the flu... But this isn't the flu, it is much worse, more virulent and your deaths due to flu are inflated, about half that.... 55,000 of covid cases reported yesterday alone. 128,000 deaths in 4 months... Flu has treatments such as tamaflu.. and a known epidomology. Not saying shut down everything but if folks can't follow instructions for safety then yes... I saw 11 deaths in 1 day at my hospital. Again, ignoring these precautions results in crap like Chappaqua. Avoidable... wait til there is an outbreak at a game and they shut down the NFL for the whole season... that will really suck.
8 hours ago, Beast said:What is your acceptable number before we all have to take a virus seriously?
We in the US don't take virus infections seriously enough... non is a acceptable number.

How dare you pull out statistics!
I can manipulate stats to show anything you want... used to do it for a living... but for arguments sake lets say they are correct... implication... social distance and wear a damn mask so it doesn't happen.

Wrong... man people have a lot of incorrect info. It can take up to 14 days for exposure to manifest itself. Up to, it can happen before. Asymptomatic people can spread disease... In addition its all about viral load and proximity to an infected person as to whether or not you catch it. Jeez there is a lot of misunderstanding out there about the disease. The 14 day quarantine from potential exposure is generally the most it takes for you to have the disease symptomatic or asymptomatic and spread it to others.
Generally means you are safe... and wash your hands regularly while there and dont touch anything and then yourself ...
