If the rest of the world can do this, why not these athletes This sounds easy enough, until, you know........it comes to actually playing football. It’s that part where it gets all physical and people start grappling and sweating and panting and snorting all over each other. THEN it gets a little trickier. It’s not spread out like golf, and even golf has lost some folks. I’m often accused of being too optimistic, but this is not one of those cases. 3 hours ago, Mat68 said: Exactly.

Maybe...MAYBE...if every player wore full sleeves, gloves, and helmets that included full visors, i.e. no skin was exposed and the face was not exposed, then MAYBE they could keep infection numbers down. But the way football is currently played? It is the absolute perfect breeding ground for COVID-19. Combine all of the things they tell you NOT to do -- being within six feet of one another, breathing on each other, coming into physical contact with each other -- and you have football. I don't see how it's possible. I'll continue to be the party pooper in the group and say that the NFL will be able to stage four games AT MOST before having to shut down the season. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone reacts differently to nasopharyngeal swabs. I’ve seen girls in their 20s take it without even flinching and grown men lose their *****. I’ve had it done. It’s not fun and I wouldn’t want it done to me everyday, but these guys are used to being clobbered on a weekly basis. I’m sure Brady would cry though.

LabattBlue Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 18 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: This is a joke. A lab is being contracted to do hundreds or even thousands of test per day, and turning around results in 24 hours, but somehow this is not going to hurt general public testing...where in some cases it takes 4-5 days or more to get a result, not to mention those who live in areas where you can't even be swabbed the same day you request. It's more like the NFL is throwing much more money per test at this company, than insurance is paying a lab facility for normal schucks like us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a few thousand extra tests per day (out of 800,000) negatively impacts national testing, then national testing is far worse off than we knew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrbojanglezs Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I bet the players change their tune on this daily testing real quick once they get a few of those nasal swab tests they are awful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I think if the NFL gets anywhere near 5% in the first two weeks they are in for a world of hurt. No amount of testing will slow that rate down and it is probably too late. Incubation is somewhere between 5 and 14 days, and the NFL opens with zero cases and on the 14th day they have 4.5% positive cases (130 positive cases or 4 per team), it is probably already working through the a ton more. That would be a total failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
