That's odd, how is that some yokels from a Bills football message board knew this would be the case yet many of the so-called "experts" didn't?

 

Some of us have been way ahead of some of these infectious disease doctors on many of these COVID issues.   How can that be?  I'll tell you, one thing that I have learned about this entire COVID experience is that it has so many different layers to it and although people like Fauci and crew have value, it takes more than doctors and experts to come to good decision making.   Data aggregation by data experts who know how to sift through data and come to statistical determinations are probably one of the most important if not most important people that should be part of the decision making.   The infectious disease experts while valuable in helping understand the underlying disease are limited in scope.  They sort of have tunnel vision and just like any doctor, they are trained and used to saying to taking the "safe" and precautious route in just about everything.  

 

Of course, taking the safe and precautious route has real world implications which in this case involves deleterious effects in wrecking people's livelihoods and mental/physical health.   

 

They hate Atlas, because Atlas is in the spot light and truth be told, they probably honestly believe that he is giving reckless advice.   I have seen and heard what Atlas has said and there is nothing that he has said that I can think of that I disagree with.  The things he is saying cannot be 100% verified at this time, and going back to what I said earlier these doctors are cautious by nature and Atlas is giving advice that doesn't fit that mold.  But what he says is backed up by statistical probabilities on data he's gone through.   I wish he would have been employed earlier by the Trump task force but in my view he is definitely who Trump would want out there.  These other guys keep saying contradictory things and what they say is very alarmist in nature.   

 

Fauci stands to reap millions from his/CDC  vaccine patents

of course, this is in addition to his patents on the virus itself

 

not much need for a vaccine when the fear about the severeity of the virus is stripped away

to show a 99.7% survival rate

Judging by the reactions of typical fans in the titans thread, I guess we are still going to pretend this was the virus we feared in March rather than the one we have data on now. 

 

Sometimes I have little hope for humans

 


Yup, it is hair on fire lock down the whole world in that thread.

Wow, this is just horrifically ill-informed. As a starting point:

I love that some of the comments are directly blaming the Titans players for a lapse of judgement.  


I know many men think women are illogical and emotional, but after spending years on Buffalo Bills message boards that are predominately male ... let's just say neither sex has the market cornered on histrionics.

As with most things in America, there are 2 sets of rules

The ones you cite apply to employees working for the govt for the benefit of the people

seems Fauci is working outside the application of those rules

CDC is a Private Organization - Not Government ...

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/disease/cdc-is-a-private-organization-not-government/

Some people have questioned my concern over both the CDC and John Hopkins University is a PRIVATE organization where the CDC accepts private funding - NOT ONLY GOVERNMENT! The CDC is quasi-government under the Department of Health and Human Services which strangely has sources of funding that are predicated on the fact that it also has a private 501(c)(3) public charity, like the Clinton ...

CDC exposed as private corporation colluding with Big Pharma

https://www.intellihub.com/cdc-exposed-as-private-corporation/

The CDC, by definition, is a private corporation working on behalf of its stakeholders, which include key players in the pharmaceutical and vaccine industries that profit from the spread of disease, not from real prevention and cures.

Robert Kennedy Jr: CDC is a privately owned vaccine company

https://eraoflight.com/2018/12/08/robert-kennedy-jr-cdc-is-a-privately-owned-vaccine-company/

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claims the CDC owns patents on at least 57 different vaccines, and profits $4.1 billion per year in vaccination sales. According to RFK Jr., the CDC is not an independent government agency but is actually a subsidiary of Big Pharma.. Greenmedinfo.com reports: Mr. Kennedy told EcoWatch, "The CDC is a subsidiary of the pharmaceutical industry.

Well, let's set aside for the moment those, umm, unorthodox cites and start with a simple correction:

Dr. Fauci is not a CDC employee! He is the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, which is a component of the National Institutes of Health.

I have to be honest, the Titans news scares me too.... not to do with the virus, but cause I don’t want the season cancelled and I know the fear mongers would love to see that happen (maybe right before the election: “Trump’s response is so bad football is canceled!”)

 

 

Full Nazi lockdown on all covid stuff on the main board. I actually don’t mind. It’s better than the selective editing removing any opinions, sources, and facts differing from the main steam that we’ve had till now.

The NFL has the experience of MLB to go on.

There were a couple notable outbreaks: the Marlins first, the Cardinals worst.

MLB responded aggressively by postponing games. 

It worked. They got their 2-month season in, they'll get their (diminished) playoff ratings in an (expanded) post-season and World Series.

The league is not overreacting; they're protecting the viability of their product in this 2020 season. 

If you're a Titans fan it kinda sucks. It did for the Marlins and Cards too, but interestingly, despite the severe disruptions, both are in the playoffs.

Why arent they just practicing and not interacting with people actually at risk? 

 

Don't come in contact with the coaches, maybe?  Not sure they even care. The players aren't even going to end up any more sick then if they had a flu (if AT ALL) let alone hospitalized and no one is dying.  NO ONE.  

 

Does anyone realize how asinine this all is yet?

 

Completely asinine.

Again, I don't think it is. The NFL is protecting a product, and for this season, that product is a TV show that plays every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday night and all day on Sunday afternoon.

They realize (like MLB) that if this spreads beyond the Titans they're gonna shut down or be shut down. It is a business decision.

Yet.

I guess you are indemnifying the NFL if the Steelers travel to TN and a member of their traveling party (needn't be a player or coach) gets sick. Awfully nice of you.

Besides: if the game is postponed for a bit (not for too long ... let's say just until Tuesday) the Titans get a short week to prepare for the Bills on 10/11. So I'm all for it.
