Contact tracing is a flawed method in the fight against Covid 19 in my humble opinion. For the simple fact that you have to many people reluctant to share their activities for various reason. Will a married man give out the name/s of his mistress/s? Same goes for the mistress. Will a drug dealer give out the names of his customers? Will a working man divulge in his whereabouts while he's spending time at the lake with his buddies fishing when he's supposed to be at work? Probably not.( just a few examples) Regardless of how much coaxing a contact tracer uses to many gaps will occur to do a good job overall IMO. I realize it may create a security risk in some instances. In my opinion the names and addresses of people infected should be readily available to the public so everyone who may have come into contact with Covid 19 can find out for themselves. If my neighbor has Covid 19 it would be good to know so I can take extra precautionary measures. The same goes in apartments whrere shared stairways or elevators might be used. Thoughts anyone?

From a bar perpective I just don't see a way to social distance properly and stay safe. So while I understand the need to preserve ones livelihood the value of life itself out weighs the business IMO LB3. The owners life, the bartenders life, the loyal patrons life. If everyone could just meet somewhere in the middle the world would be a safer place my friend.

You said it yourself, "the virus doesn't recognize state lines" or care If it goes back to pay another visit to some of the places its already been. (@ LB3) South Dakota could be fine today and the home of another hot spot 3 weeks from now. Common sense is telling me to take the necessary steps/ precautions now and not wait until people are dropping around me like flies before I decide to do something about it. Its to late...

Good question, I think without a unified approach across the nation Covid 19 will continue to spread unchecked IMO. It doesn't necessarily mean different precautions couldn't be used depending on the severity of the outbreak. By way of example everyone should be wearing masks and practicing social distancing right now regardless of where you reside. ( IMO) Myself personally, I think all bars and restraunts should be closed in the US with the exception of take out IMO. All large gatherings prohibited. Close all beaches. All places of worship should be closed in the US in my humble opinion..

The problem with this train of thought is the country, its people, can't survive this way indefinitely. By way of example while car accidents might be down people need to drive. While flu deaths might be down people need to work, make a living, put food on the table. So no, I'm not buying into because the overall death rate in our country is where it should be the American people are where we should be because we are not.

My point is without a unified approach the whole country could continue the spread going from one hot spot to another for God only knows how long. As soon as one hot spot gets under control a new hot spot emerges. The virus can travel long distances as fast as a person in a car, bus or plane can carry it. It knows no boundries. Nobody in our country is safe until everyone in our country is safe from Covid 19. With all due respect...

Its called setting a good example, not sending mixed signals to a country in dire need of clarity. When I can climb in a car and drive from NY to Nebraska in under 24 hours. Contaminating everyone I come in contact with, Absolutely...

Norwide I consider one the worst, Clever, albeit, and fitting I suppose, Hate it...

I want to know what the true worth of a unified lockdown across the US would have been with leadership at the top intelligent enough to do something as simple as wearing a mask.

It might be wise to seperate the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string players during practice sessions, locker room activity and on gamedays. When I say seperate I mean in a social distancing manner. (With the hopes of keeping each level of player groups intact)

Good take Gu, I will say however football players like anyone else deserve the right to make their own decisions when it comes to working/ playing and judging from the difference of approach and opinions from the younger generation to old on Covid 19. For the most part we have a difference of opinion. Myself personally, its probably just as dangerous to go shopping or eat out at a restraunt then to play contact sports on a field with men tested on a regular basis. I'm just saying...

From a policing perspective one way to help seperate racism from the equation is to have both white and black police officers working in pairs with an interchangeable officer in charge status corresponding by color with the person or persons the police are engaging with IMO. Do the same with all ethnic groups and have a police force designed to keep everyone in the community comfortable in their surroundings. Myself personally, It wouldn't hurt my feelings If every cop on the planet was of a minority.

Save it for game winning drives, playoffs, and If all goes well,, The Superbowl...

Who let the dogs out? WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF! Who let the dogs out? WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF!

We have a large number of protesters who are very angry and have every right to be in my humble opinion. Within this group we have a smaller number of people taking advantage of the situatiion with hidden agenda's and corrupt intentions. The protesters real message of " help me, I can't breath" becomes clouded. White or black, or any color in between we can't lose sight of the real message and its something we can all understand. The contrast between light and darkness is not always clear...

I'm Digging it Dr. Who, Allen tossing to Diggs with a soft touch on the football evokes happiness...

Some materials such as polypropylene collect electrons and become negatively charged which may repel the surface of the negatively charged coronavirus IMO. Polypropelene fabric is also water repellent. Its possible a more breathable protection/ solution can be found for athletes IMO.

Its probably more like 87% have driven home while intoxicated at one time or another vs 87% per game IMO. Good grief... I think Biscuit might have done a study on his college drinking buddies... I'm just saying...

One of our town bakery's where I live began defying orders permitting indoor dinning with or without a mask. A popular city councilman, man of faith that goes to 3rd world countries digging wells so people have safe water to drink standing up for the owner in an open display of defiance.The bakery started gaining steam. Someone volunteered anonymously to pay the $10,000 a day fine. People started coming in from other counties to show support. Coming from places hit hard by covid 19. All was going well for them until bakery employees started receiving death threats forcing a change of plans by the owner. Can we blame anyone for being protective of their parents or grandparents the way they protected us growing up? I think not.

Allen vs Mahomes in the AFC Championship would be awesome Mahomes magic is the real deal and I agree, They gonna be good for a little while...

Myself personally, Covid 19 has seperated our younger generation from its more elderly senior guidance in my humble opinion. Whisper words of wisdom... ...Let it McD...

Something often overlooked in assessment is Josh Allen hasn't dumped the ball of much to date. Allen also hasn't gone to a TE security blanket perhaps as much as other young signal callers IMO. The types of things that pad the stats, increase completion %, and add up in the passing totals. I think with the talent Buffalo now has at RB its part of Allens game that can and will show a marked improvent this season and may give Josh Allen the 300 yard passing games everyone is looking for IMO.

Its a good question. Given the talent Allen now has around him. Its about to be be answered...

The power forward /QB is powering its way to the forefront IMO. Lamar Jackson is a great example. Is Jackson going to beat you throwing for 300 + yards? Probably not. Make no mistake as an opposing DC, Lamar Jackson can and will beat you with his arm and legs. So while this may not put Lamar Jackson in the higher echelon of QB's from a passing perspective. Lamar Jackson is one of the hardest QB's in the NFL to defend against in my humble opinion.

Josh Allen has got it all, heart, God given talent and most importantly brains. The Bills ability to run and pass backed by a top 3 D is going to win a Championship.
