No, they are out 2 weeks, which has been my stance all along that the season is not starting till a vaccine is here. Let's hope those Sept estimates that are out there for vaccines are doable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love your positive attitude, but the fact that people are required to be quarantined when they test positive, makes it hard for me to believe there will be a season. It’s not a matter of these guys being young and healthy, it’s the point that every positive test results in a huge process that needs to be followed. I’m seeing this at my workplace right now with asymptomatic test results every week. It’s creating a major headache, and I don’t see how the NFL season can carry on when players will inevitably test positive all season. The fact that you believe most of these guys will be fine, and many of us have it (you are correct) doesn’t change the fact people who come into contact get quarantined. The NFL season makes no sense, unless the virus disappears or society changes how we will deal with it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone feeling sick, they're gonna test positive for Corona Virus. What people are failing to acknowledge and make public is that Corona Virus has been around for decades, commonly known as the "common cold." The issue is that there is a certain strain of the virus that is in fact dangerous. But the problem is, the COVID testing is just a general catch-all test. It doesn't break down the type of strain that people have. Medical professionals haven't figured that part out yet to differentiate the type of strain people are testing positive for. That's why you see people who've tested positive that "feel fine" or have "no symptoms." Stop living in fear and let's get back to normalcy. finally someone with a phD dropping knowledge in here ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillies Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Maybe players should purposely catch covid now, so they don't during the season. Probably not a medically sound idea, but I would consider it. Like when we were young and our parents made us go play with the kid who had chicken pox. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very likely, unless these young millionaires self quarantine, use masks when out in public etc, etc their is little chance the season even starts let alone finishes. A serious outbreak in only one team will very likely end the season. Its sucks for sure, and the damn virus is already spiking again in at least a dozen states, and that’s not counting the rest of the world. This sh-t ain’t over by a long shot. Positive thoughts friends, with huge amount of responsible behavior and a giant portion of good luck we will see some football. ?

Supplies of swabs, PPE, and test reagents are still limiting. How many people are on an NFL team? Not the team itself, all the trainers, coaches, staff, food service employees, cleaners, etc? 1000? 500? If it's 500 people x 32 teams, you're using 16,000 tests per day. That's 3% of the tests per day in the country if we're doing 500,000 tests/day. I'm OK with that as long as we're testing to support our vulnerable populations - seniors, aides and other caregivers - and people with a lot of exposure like first responders and HCW, as much as they want. I'm not OK with that if there are still aides and long-term-care facilities that can't get adequate testing. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want this NFL season to go off as normal because the Bills will be peaking, but I have to protect myself from this crap.

They are world class athletes with world class medical facilities, the NFL wont have any shortage of tests for it, most of them will get the virus and barely feel any symptoms.
