Punching Bag Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 16 hours ago, Doc said: And no one is getting tested (as often) as players will be. Follow the guidelines, point out those who aren't, and you'll in all likelihood be fine. I am sure White House staff are being tested very frequently despite it declared "fake" by many supporters. There are others who are able to get frequent testing but will not advertise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Obviously HIPPA exists) It is half way through July and they haven’t reported any COVID cases as per of any league mandate. Why would I suddenly trust them to honestly report it come September, October, etc. say we make it to January, are they reporting it then? We are weeks away from training camp. Leagues trying to start up are reporting regularly, but not the NFL. Proportionately they should be at about 90 cases and crickets. I believe the league testing/reporting will start when teams report to camp Edited July 18, 2020 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for nothing, but there are side effects like lung damage & amputations from seasonal influenza as well... you just never hear about them because it’s extremely rare, as is the same with side effects/complications from Coronaviruses.

Not so sure that 'it's extremely rare' , also covid has only been around for about 7 months, really still learning about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruses are the most not usually cured. Let me know when there is a cure for Hirpies, Shingles(which originated as chickenpox), HIV, The common cold(a form of Corona) and all the others.

There is a vaccine, Shingrix, for Shingles which was approved in 2017 and more effective than its predecessor, Zostavax, which was approved in 2006.

A vaccine is a preventative measure. Not really a cure as it does nothing for you once you contract a virus. If effective I guess it's better than a cure though.

Tommy Callahan Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Do what every other place does (and the Bills employees that have already been to the facility doing this). take temp, Provide a mask, remove every other chair from meeting room. pay cleaners to clean every area a lot. If the rest of the world can do this, why not these athletes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
