Eh? Since people may be infected asymptomaticly or with very mild symptoms, I think it's to be expected that a number of infections will be picked up while onboarding. It really doesn't have any bearing on how well or poorly the season will go once they get everyone in the building. The real question will be how able will they be to keep guys isolated during the season, if covid-19 positive players are taken out of rotation for a couple of weeks.

I'm still not clear on how MLB is going about this. Players that tested positive have to be negative twice within 48 hours to be able to come back. I haven't seen anywhere that they have to quarantine for 14 days though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazier. a defensive back on the 1985 Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears, was the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings from 2011-13. PROFILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I would be very interested to see them do serology testing (am I getting that word right?) along with the COVID testing so we can get a sense for how much of the NFL demo has been impacted already without knowing it. I would imagine it would be a decently high rate which I think would ease many fears over each positive case result that we get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think not having any symptoms would be a good thing but not with this virus. Without knowing your carrying the virus you're more likely to go out and spread it to somebody else extremely vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 There is little we can do other than be smart and wear masks. Embrace it and learn from it. There will be future outbreaks of various viruses, and we need to do better in the future. This is our opportunity to learn to do better. Players, coaches and staff will be testing positive. Let this be a learning experience for all of us, including those who should be leading. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardyBoy Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) This is to important to mince words (and I'm still not saying near what I really want to say). There is a whole lot of ignorant up in here. This isn't about politics, other than a hell of a lot of people are parroting word for word what people in power are saying, and those people, to quote George Carlin "do not give a f*** about you." There legit might not be such a thing as asymptomatic cases...it's only asymptomatic if you're not searching for the right symptoms. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/07/brain-fog-heart-damage-covid-19-s-lingering-problems-alarm-scientists https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/506752-mild-cases-of-coronavirus-may-not-be-as-mild-as Edited August 3, 2020 by HardyBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine it would be a decently high rate which I think would ease many fears over each positive case result that we get. Correct term. From cdc.gov: Serology tests look for antibodies in blood. If antibodies are found, that means there has been a previous infection. Antibodies are proteins that can fight off infections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't players who have interacted with players who have tested positive also have to quarantine? If not, I gotta believe that there will be serious and rapid spread. If so, that means a whole lot of players will be in quarantine, not just the ones who test positive. At this point, those testing positive haven't been interacting with other players but that is going to change soon. *sigh* no good options. I'm still hoping for the best and it is too early to activate the escape pods but still, man, I am losing my natural sense of optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
