buffalover4life Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 We have been social distancing for 5+ weeks. we should have an idea of who has and does not have covid-19. I have been very careful for 5+ weeks and believe at this point it is safe to visit my family... these are small gatherings and I wouldn't take anymore from these players than has already been taken.

The problem is they appear to have invited friends over who are young & could be transmitting the virus to the parents there without knowing it.

Nelius Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) This seriously took two posts haha. I've loved the draft this year, some of the home footage has been so awkward that it beats anything that could be normally produced. Social distancing is such a grey area with families. I've been quarantined with my wife and little one for over a month now. That's it. However, my next door neighbor has at least 6 kids, many of which have kids. There's like 20 people there. They often stand around in their backyard and then do tiny backyard dirt circles with a motorcycle sending a giant cloud of dust and hopefully not coronavirus over the neighborhood. At least twice a day. But hey, they're family, who am I to judge. This is weird for everyone. Edited April 25, 2020 by Nelius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no idea how this virus works, do you? Boy you sure showed him! How about trying a civil conversation? I do not mind following the guidelines so much as I mind the sudden deluge of self appointed Barney Fifes that feel like it is their duty to jump all over and personally attack any thought that goes against staying home for months indefinitely without question. Many people are not doing well as a result of staying at home for weeks and there is going to be a point where keeping this up results in more people dying from suicide, overdoses and putting off vital medical procedures than what would have been from covid 19. Edit-I am not minimizing the concern of this, nor pushing for something silly like injecting bleach. Just pointing out that there are many different stories out there and many different opinions that are valid on how to best get things back to normal over the next few months Edited April 25, 2020 by dgrochester55 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice that in almost every case, there were less than ten people. Guidelines are different in every state, and many are not on full lockdown, but discouraging events with more than ten. There are cases where they could be having people over and still staying within the guidelines of the states.

It makes no sense I'm actually very pro-social distancing during a pandemic but it's certainly far from an exact science. Defining "family" for instance is impossible, but whether your family consists of 2 or 28 people, it seems this thing is infectious enough where if one gets it, everybody gets it. Somebody could have potentially shared some covid at those draft parties tonight, but how are you going to ignore your brother or best friend getting drafted into the NFL? We're not really built for extreme isolation yet, I just hope a 2nd wave doesn't screw us and that we luck out a bit with warmer weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure that everyone understands how social distancing works. Nothing will change until a vaccine comes along, social distancing itself won’t eliminate the virus. I think early on some believed that. In reality, how many people are willing to social distance for what could be years? That might be the reality if we don’t have a vaccine.

Masks don't protect YOU they protect others FROM YOU if you are sick.

Your argument is basically if you can't be perfect, don't bother. You're right. Nothing is foolproof. But if two people are wearing a mask, and maintaining distance, and not sneezing, the odds of infection are very small, compared to doing nothing.

It's a mitigation strategy to try to prevent the healthcare system from being overrun. It was overrun by me and I assume would have been far worse without the restrictions. I'll ask again, do you think we'd be better off had we not shut down? Was letting it run its course a better option? Or did you have another solution in mind? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
