I feel like this should probably be moved to the politics forum or, at the very least, off the wall?

I agree. How is that man not a unanimous number one? I don’t even need to think twice if I’m given the choice between Mahomes or Jackson. It’s not even a discussion.

It’s not true at all. It’s pure false. Proven false. Show me the source that mentions no post infection Covid immunity.

There are very few viruses that offer infinite immunity. People who think of post virus immunity in terms of forever are simply misinformed.

I don’t subscribe to the herd immunity theory. I give no credence to it when it’s mentioned. I was simply replying to people who want to imply this virus provides no post infection immunity. That statement is just blatantly false.

I don’t agree with the herd immunity theory, but I have to adamantly disagree with the bolded part. I hear some people spouting this off. I haven’t seen one legitimate source that says this coronavirus offers no immunity. The one study I’ve seen done states that immunity lasts a minimum of 3 months (might be 2, but I’m working on the source). This would also be discounting the fact that this is NOT the first coronavirus. It’s naive to think this is the coronavirus to break all the rules of past coronavirus’. MERS and SARS both have degrees of immunity varying from 6 months to 2 years. Edit: source https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/07/study-covid-19-antibodies-decay-quickly-after-mild-illness It seems to be the only study that’s been published to date. The key word is immunity antibodies “BEGIN to decrease after 2-3 months”. Keep in mind this is for a mild illness. Of course, logically, your body wouldn’t produce as many antibodies for mild illness. However, a much larger study is needed to determine the true immunity status post positive. I would bet it ends up being in 4-8 month range based on initial results and past coronavirus antibody studies. There is pretty much zero chance it ends up being anything less than a couple of months.

Probably just better to wait a few months for the vaccine if that’s the solution they were going to pursue.

The thing is, how in the hell are you an NFL GM and make this mistake? If this is true and your sold on Russel Wilson, you take a WR two picks before he ends up being drafted? QB’s are over drafted all the time. If you like one in the 3rd you better be prepared to take him in the 2nd. Horrific GM duties if this is true.

Not trying to be an a**, but what would starting in October instead of September do? If anything, I would think a start around March would be best. Let the first round of vaccines make their rounds. Assuming all goes well with them.

I would be watching the countdown... but Dish network ?‍♂️

Two 1sts+ for a safety. I wouldn’t be too happy with that as a Seattle fan but what do I know, I’m just some guy on a message board.

The same reason you are thinking of moving is why it’s tough for me to consider selling! We have owned 10 years and replaced the furnace, AC unit, roof, plumbing, old hot water tank with tankless, old sump pump with new one and water backup in case of power outage. We want more space, but are leaning towards just building onto our current house because of how much we have invested so far. It’s tough to walk away no matter the money we could sell for.

You don’t say? I think anyone with half a brain has known this for a while.

This is a good point that I forgot to mention about a contingent offer. If that’s your plan, just don’t. No one is taking contingent offers in this market, there is no reason when at least a handful of offers are going to have no contingency.

But remember, he’s been “playing point guard for the United States” according to A-Rod.

No, unless your current house is relatively cheap and you are looking to significantly increase in price. I am unfamiliar with your exact area. However, in WNY the lower end of the market has increased in price much more than the upper end of the market. The only way I would do it is if you purchased your house for around 100-150 and your next home is around 500. In that scenario you are selling at a profit and not paying an inflated amount for your next home. Otherwise, just keep it. If you are sticking around the same price range there is no point. You would just be selling and hoping the market goes down or selling and then buying at an inflated price.

This is why when I first saw John Lewis had passed my first thought was “isn’t he already dead” Thank you for posting this, I thought I was crazy.

I have been adamantly in the “let’s wait and see” crowd. I’ve been optimistic for a season. But I agree with you. It’s getting close to crunch time and cases are just increasing outside of a handful of states. I’m turning from optimistic for a season to a bit more pessimistic.

I tried reading the Washington post story, but it was behind a paywall. Instant close of the webpage for me whenever I see that.

I’ve always wondered, do teams actually get a decent return on investment for this? Has there ever been anyone watching the Bills play and suddenly going “ you know what, I need a New Era hat”. Especially considering the stadium name is pretty rarely mentioned on air?

Anyone have the cliff notes on this?

Anybody else come here to see what “bugs” signifies in relation to the NFL?

@Hapless Bills Fan, do you have any insight on what this means for a vaccine? Are makers able to somehow get around rapidly deteriorating antibodies?

Nostradamus, please share more of your predictions. The world must know.

It would definitely be interesting to have spring college football. Can’t say I would mind it if the NFL can get off the ground on time. In fact, I’d probably prefer it. It may increase the ratings for both the NFL and college.
