2 Tampa Bay Bucs test positive for Covid-19

[Kmart128]

Go figure. People gather in huge numbers to riot and protest and Coronavirus starts to spread again.

You will test positive if you had the flu shot in the last ten years.

I have a couple of family members who have tested negative and they get a flu shot every year

Actually, the spike in COVID numbers in states that held the largest protests pales in comparison to the spikes in red states that re-opened early and with no mask-wearing protocols, where people pack into bars and restaurants.

 

Minnesota (where George Floyd was murdered) is adding about 250 cases a day.

 

Oregon, which has seen 22 straight days of protests in Portland, some as large as 12,000 people, is adding about 160 cases a day.

 

Meanwhile, Arizona, Texas, and Georgia are adding cases by the THOUSANDS every day.

 

Too-early reopening in states with no mask protocols has been responsible for VASTLY more infections than masked protests.

 

If you don’t believe me, go look at the numbers yourself.

Spartacus, actually working in biotechnology, medical device, and rare disease orphan drug biopharmaceutical sales and management for over 20 years with 5 years prior in the clinical end of medicine, you should know vaccines is the absolute least profitable out of anything produced.  Granted it’s 350 million doses if everyone gets it, but they won’t as some won’t care, some are against vaccines, etc.  Lastly, vaccines only work against a certain strain of virus so this is why people get a flu shot yearly as the vaccine is designed for a specific strain.

 

Everyone should do what they want, knowing the FDA, they won’t approve something that hasn’t gone through phase 3 clinical trials and surveillance and demonstrated a success rate approvable to the FDA after they send multiple clinical questions to the manufacturer and thoroughly fact find. Not a perfect world, but it’s a lot harder to get something through the FDA than in Europe Cmarc.

Yup.. we all knew cases would jump when economies re-opened.   It will happen in blue states when they do as well. 

 

Good thing the shutdown wasn't meant to prevent a jump in cases, it was meant to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed.  ....or have we all lost sight of that for whatever reasons that may be.

Let me guess... no symptoms

My thread for the first Bill to test positive was closed. It's only a matter of time before a Bills' player tests positive . 

There is no way NCAA or NFL football will be played this year.

1 Bills player testing positive, while showing probably no symptoms, will shut down the season?

Basically, as players return to team facilities over the next couple of months, we just need to brace ourselves for the fact that likely all 32 teams will have positive COVID tests. There are 90 players on each roster. The likelihood that ZERO players test positive on any given team is extremely low. It doesn't mean everything is going to shut down or that there won't be a season, necessarily -- although it COULD mean those things. Andrew Brandt said it well on Twitter:
 

The primary factor in whether or not we have a 2020 NFL season will be the extent of the NFL owners' greed, and how they weigh the opportunity cost of profits vs safety of their players, coaching and support staffs, and fans. The other thing I could see playing a major role is if a player or coach ends up being hospitalized or dying from COVID. Bear in mind that many coaches are solidly in the "at risk" group, as are a fair amount of offensive linemen. There is a certain point past which even the money-obsessed owners will not be able to justify moving forward with a season.

 

So... am I praying for the owners to be more greedy, or...

Your statistics are misleading.  Oregon is a low density  unpopulated state so it will obviously have fewer cases.  It primarily depends on when states have opened up.  New York and and Michigan, Pennsylvania will see simlar spikes in infections in a month or two since they have just recently opened up.

Even if you use “cases per 100,000 people” metric, Oregon (now seeing its 29th straight night of protests) lags far behind the early re-opening states in COVID cases. By a lot.

I've avoided the COVID part of this conversation because, well, ?

 

HOWEVER, this is where it comes into play: The Bills all come down with COVID, so are about to have to forfeit, but, up pulls Doug Flutie, with a lizard man wearing a Bills Sammy Watkins jersey, ripped pants, and no shoes (think: Spiderman), in the passenger side of a 1976 Buick Electra, and a gang of 52 guys wearing football uniforms, including you, me, and Bruce Smith.

 

...now, in the game, I drop the game-winning pass from Doug, simultaneously peeing myself, and spiralling into a deep state of depression for letting him down. But that's okay, because I still like Chan Gailey, and I didn't root against the Bills.

Despite warnings from public health officials, new research suggests Black Lives Matter protests across the country have not led to a jump in coronavirus cases.

A new study, published this month by the National Bureau of Economic Research, used data on protests from more than 300 of the largest US cities, and found no evidence that coronavirus cases grew in the weeks following the beginning of the protests.



But by all means, please keep following me from thread to thread with your weird vendetta.

Im all for the protests but this study is patently false and misleading.  I live in Atlanta, where there were tons of protests, and cases have grown.  Same with Charlotte, same with LA, same with Houston, same with mid-size/smaller cities like Greenville, SC - In fact, nearby, most allude to Clemson football having such a jump because of players participating in the protests.  At the very least it’s extremely coincidental.  

All had protests and all had an immediate spike in cases, yet here we are with this article...

Good thing hospitalizations and deaths are still down most everywhere, since that was the goal, before media and politicians made everyone believe the goal is actually to stop COVID - so I wouldn’t be upset if protests actually did spike cases - which they clearly have, despite this mess of an inaccurate study.

Even California, which was the first state to lock down and one of the last ones to reopen, is setting daily records this week for new cases.

To be honest, people in Manhattan are far more compliant with that than in Rochester.  But you're not wrong.

 

Too many anti-mask loonies in these southern states.  All they can invoke is "the devil" and "the Constitution" (which most would struggle to comprehend without illustrations or the accompanying coloring book).  Those town hall open mics are a hoot!

NBA and MLB players have already overwhelmingly been against being separated from their families for months to play a season. I highly doubt NFL players will think any differently. I don’t think families are included in the “bubble” by these leagues. So players will have to decide between playing or being with their families. Doesn’t look like they will get both. 

 

Ironically, having one's family might make it a lot easier for the players to limit socializing and stay within a limited group vs. being separated from families and restless/bored.
