The way I see it every player in the NFL was brought here for 1 reason. Future superstars of this league just waiting for the chance to play. This may be their chance to shine a little quicker than you would normally see. I really like Buffalo's depth and the coaching we bring to the table. We need football!!!

We can stop this with a Nationally unified 30 day lockdown IMO. Prioritize the US work force. Shelter in place individually until each individual test negative from Covid 19. The positive case load gets quarantined until testing negative and then logged into a data base for future reference. We need this information to properly identify where more specifally by location herd immunity is being reached to be reviewed in the event of future outbreaks. This can be as simple or as hard as we want to make it. I think we can still do this Billsfan4...

The virus running its course through a country I don't consider controling. The virus running its course around the world I don't consider control. Instead of the allowing the virus to run its course here in the US we tried to intervene. Without a unified plan in place it created a situation that extended and worsened the hardships of the pandemic on the American people IMO. Allow me to explain myself, If you test at the middle of the two week stay at home order and at the end you would have covered the incubation period IMO. ( two negatives a week apart) If you tested negative on the 1st day of a 14 day stay at home I don't think it tells you anything. Thus, why I thought two test at the middle and end of the 14 day stay at home would work as a double check and a wiser use of resources IMO. Updated Article on 90% of Covid 19 case load (on average) going undetected. https://ktla.com/news/coronavirus/antibody-tests-show-coronavirus-rates-10-times-higher-than-reported-cases-in-most-u-s-regions-cdc/ The 14 day incubation period does present a problem IMO. Especilly considering you can spread the virus before or without symptoms.

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/cdc-study-covid-19-cases-may-be-10-times-higher-than-reported-214522682.html Its averaged out and again 10 is the reoccurring number I keep hearing. Myself personally, its obvious we don't have all the tools and resources needed to get a handle on the virus in my humble opinion Hapless. For many of the reasons mentioned. I beg to differ on the long incubation period. Priortize the work force and begin testing at testing centers. 2 week time span on testing negative, thanks In other countries hit hard the virus has thoroughly run its course through them and built up some herd immunity IMO.

At this point it appears testing is only catching 10% of the actually true number of people walking around with Covid 19. The long incubation period is making it impossible to control. Home test kits and a per individual lockdown until testing negative twice through a one week time span might be the best way to corral Covid 19 in my humble opinion. One month and we could have the US back on track for a full recovery IMO. Having 90% of our Covid 19 case load walking the streets does not cut it.

Yes, I remember Gu because you just reminded me, lol ( Exray)

I was just talking to my army Brat niece last night about this very subject. Her husband just arrived in Afghanistan this week on a training mission and tested positive for Covid 19. My little army Brat is a very brave girl, but I could hear the concern in her voice as she tried to keep her emotions in check. Covid 19 scent patrol dogs could have prevented this from happening IMO.

Ouch

Interesting, one of the main ingredients in hair spray "polyvinylpyrrolidone" has a negative charge like polypropylene which repels the virus. Lol, hey man, I'm just saying... I realize its allergy season, but to feel sick enough to get tested yet continue working until test results come back would remind me of why its better to stay clear of hair salons. (hair stylist or customer) Myself personally, its very possible hair stylist A got the virus while working in my humble opinion.

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/cdc-study-covid-19-cases-may-be-10-times-higher-than-reported-214522682.html Back up to 10 it appears Whats interesting is using the multiplier would also drop the US mortality rate 10 times lower then it is now.

The reason I mentioned outdoors is because from what I've seen Limeaid most people seem to be under the impression you are safe from Covid 19 on the outside when in reality you are not. Common sense tells you wind can increase how far something can travel. Early studies are also telling us Covid 19 is attaching itself to air pollution. We are seeing a correlation between higher case loads and deaths being recorded in places that air pollution is higher. The assumption is being made that this is because of the effect air pollution can have on the lungs. Myself personally, I'm not fully convinced. Covid 19 attaching itself to small particles of air pollution and being inhaled is also possible/ plausible in my humble opinion. Perhaps its a combination of the two. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/04/the-deadly-link-between-covid-19-and-air-pollution/ https://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2020/07/17/why-air-pollution-is-linked-to-severe-cases-of-covid-19/ https://theconversation.com/air-pollution-exposure-linked-to-higher-covid-19-cases-and-deaths-new-study-141620 There are to many questions about Covid 19 and not enough answers. I think we are fortunate here on TBD to have someone like Hapless sifting through all the data and making heads or tails of it. While I may not agree 100% on all of his summary. (99%) I know his conclusions are well thought out and data driven. So when he posts something I pay very close attention. We all should. Space, the final frontier...

A fairly recent article that concerns me https://abcnews.go.com/US/scientists-covid-19-spread-particles-air/story?id=71665634 Older article ( not reviewed ) that I also find concerning https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/494677-coronavirus-detected-on-air-pollution-particles-report Not enough is known yet about Covid 19 and why I urge everyone to err on the side of caution indoors or outdoors.

Speaking of breaks, giving every team 2 bye's might not be such a bad idea. The normally scheduled bye and an everyone takes a week off simultaneously bye half way through the season. Just a thought...

I voted a wishful thinking yes, the season starts on time...

I think your kiddo also has the benifit of having an intelligent and well informed Dad who gets it.

A very plausible explanation. Oh, we can work on it alright. Just ask any young American and most will agree...

Excellent point, Wich could explain why a 2nd big wave isn't happening yet in the hard hit state of NY. If you multiply our current US case load by 10 which is a reoccurring number I keep hearing we have reached the 10% mark nationally already. If true, this could be good news in a world of bad...

Interesting, Perhaps Hapless can chime in, Even so, we're a little over 1% right now nationally.

To achieve herd immunity without a vaccine unfortunately almost half the population would need to test positive with Covid 19 for a chance of this to happen. By way of example the state of NY would need approx 3.5 million people. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200626/herd-immunity-threshold-could-be-as-low-as-43-percent

I agree, I also think increased size and catching radius at the WR position is going to help matters.

I think Allen understands the concept. Allens arm strength gets in the way IMO. Most QB's can unleash a long ball with everything on it without overthrowing. Both QB and WR are in sync with how far its going to go IMO. (55 to 60 yards) Josh on the other hand can easily overthrow his WR's on a long ball throw at any place and time on the playing field. (75 to 80 yards) The way I see it the more throws you can make and the more area you can cover increases the time/ practice it takes to gel wth the WR's IMO. In other words increased reps/ practice time needed kind of goes with the territory. Myself personally, Allen will learn to adjust and continue to improve his long ball throws over time.

Not for me, I'm decent in chess until you start putting time limitations on the moves. Although I can see how it would help a QB, especially one as intelligent as Josh Allen.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head with your possible explanation on how this could happen.

Somewhere in the night

Yes, I'm wearing the oil-protective short lifespan R95 with replacement filters. Expensive, and well worth it in my humble opinion. It does the job and doesn't take away from health professionals that need the N95. This is not the facts only thread and just because we have a difference of opinion does not mean I'm trolling you. I speak from experience working in an enviroment where airborne particulates are prevalent. Contact tracing here in the US is not doing enough and I touched on some of the reasons why. Looking for solutions not confrontations...
