 Yup. People are buying into the fear mongering news networks. 5 months until the first game 

 

They uh, gonna practice or get together at all before the first game? 

 

Sucks for Von, though, I've always been a fan. He's got asthma, altitude, and a love for God's greatest herb which all could impact him a bit.

The season is 5 months away. Doesn’t mean there will be no season. 

 

While I think the time period to say anything about the season is too far off.

 

That being said the season really starts in 3 months with training camp. Games are in 5.  (yes i know semantics)

You never know, crazier things have happened and I wouldn’t be surprised if they did or at least postpone it for the time being

 

The NFL and the PA both have a mutual goal: make the league into a 25B industry by 2024.  That element to the league starting is going to have an impact if many teams are in regions that pass thru the phases identified by the Task Force today.

 

Making money is a huuuge factor to all of this.  If it can be done the powers that be will get it done.

Not sure about the case of Brian Allen and the circumstances. But in the case of Von Miller, if you're good and you're not feeling sick then why was a test administered in the first place?

Proximity And exposure to someone who is positive can be one.

As to the season beginning on time, or happening?

 

I'm very doubtful.  There are just too many people involved in the player's lives who could expose them.  And, once you take the show on the road, the number of people involved multiplies greatly.

 

No games could be held in hot spots.  That takes away LA, NYC, Boston, New Orleans, Detroit, Seattle, and more.

 

If one player tests positive for any team, all exposed team members and personnel would need to be quarantined.  Then you'll have a situation where some games are played and some not played...

 

That leads to repeat testing.  Tests are still in short supply.  Repeatedly testing players, and ANY person who can pass covid to them so they can play games will likely be seen by many as waste of crucial resources.  

 

It's sad and unthinkable.  But there's a lot of that going around.  I hope I'm wrong and "the season is still 5 months away crowd" are right, I really do.  But that 5 month window has a decision component that is markedly shorter.

How do multimillionaires get COVID? You live in a mansion and can pay people to bring you everything your heart desires. You don't have to go anywhere, and can be completely comfortable doing so. I don't get it.

It's because nobody can tell a millionaire what to do. They are like kids, when you tell them not to do something they just want to do it more.

I mean - Football doesn't exactly require ideal conditions.  They can start the season whenever they want to and the networks will air it since its the best ratings they'll get.  Would it piss off baseball or something? Probably, but what can they do?

There have been Instagrams posted of NFL athletes still working out with personal trainers at gyms (Stefon Diggs was one).

 

There is some evidence that people exerting themselves (running, etc) put out more aerosolized particles and the particles travel a longer distance - meters not feet.  What is the air circulation like in those gyms?  Plus, in some of the Instas I saw, the trainers and even the other athletes are pretty durn close, not 6 feet away.  So even if the evidence is wrong, still too close.

 

If you are paying people to clean, cook, maintain your lawn, pool, etc .....you may effectively be in contact with everyone those people are in contact with

That may be, but some of these guys are legit worried to "protect their investment" by continuing their personal training regimes, too.

He just was interviewed and said he doesn't know how he got it.  He said he has quarantined himself the last month and only been out

something like 4 times and was taking precautions.

FWIW.

His comment is relevant to COVID-19. Asthmatics are at greater risk.

Actually a report out today shows this hasn’t been the case, it was just assumed it would be. There is just so much they still do not know...

The bolded is the real takeaway here. It's tough to compare across reports/studies and they use different criteria and methodology.  It's one thing to say who is more susceptible to acquiring the virus and quite another to say who will likely be more harmed if they get the virus.

Fasten your seat belts. Of the 1700 players, 11 will die of the Chinese Virus in the next few months.

It very well may be that people with Asthma are being much more careful as they know the danger. To early to tell, but so far they are way down the list of comorbidity infections.

Oh yeah, taking precautions in his quarantine like still having plenty of people coming and going from his house by his own admission.  "So I've been taking it serious, staying at home. Of course, you know I have people come in and out, like workers, maids, people that come do the plumbing, just everyday stuff."

 

Money turns even smart people dumb.  Tell your workers and maids and plumbers (unless it is a catastrophic emergency you can't Google how to fix yourself) to flipping stay home or at least out of your house.

Vonn Miller majored in farming. I’m not being funny. He actually has a chicken farm(factory farming) kinda like that South Dakota Smithfield factory. Not sure how involved he is but thought it was interesting that he got the CV ?. Many of those places are pretty nasty  before you add a pandemic. Many people from all over the world work in those places. Not too surprising ? ?

kmart, no it’s not.  I’m not hair on fire, but hasn’t even hit the peak.  Doesn’t mean we won’t have a season, but I’m worried about loved ones and friends not getting it.  If fortunate, it will drop, but it hasn’t yet.  

 

Actually you were wrong. As I posted that the infection rate just started to decrease. And the total death numbers were down. The peak was around easter. And thats what all the models showed before then. It hadnt dropped much at the time of posting it was still close to the peak  but that was the beginning of the down slope.

I call it the Chinese Virus too.

 

Totally necessary and not at all xenophobic! ?

 

Anyway, Miller said himself he has only left his house maybe once or twice to get food, but has otherwise been home for over a month. Said a plumber and another work man came to his house during that time. All those speculating as to what activities he was engaged in to get the virus are doing just that — speculating.

I'm curious, how many of those farms have you been to?
