Two Bills Drive no longer finds it appropriate to engage in COVID-19 discussion in our main discussion areas. We are a Buffalo Bills fan community and we exist to serve fans of the Buffalo Bills and the NFL. Please use other communities and venues to discuss heath-related topics including COVID-19. 

 

Information about COVID-19 is available from many globally respected sources including:

The pinned topic: COVID-19 - Facts and Information Only Topic, located on the Off the Wall subforum, is also a resource.   Should these not meet your needs, many other sources of information (of varied accuracy) exist.

 

Thank you!

I never woulda expected Gilmore to contract Covid the way he avoids contact.

Wow! That photo is something given this morning's news. Neither player should have let that moment happen. It is my understanding that it takes more than a moment of exposure to transmit it, but if not...the league is about to lose its coverboy for a couple weeks.

And the NFL cannot write the memo fast enough banning postgame handshakes or any interaction.

you mean the league shouldn’t let it happen.  Players and coaches have been meeting at mid field post game for hands and hugs since WEEK 1.

NFL Should have never Played the KC vs NE game at all.  Just shows they really don't know how this virus is passed or even worse Do not care

No positives on chiefs yet. The spread within the pats would have occurred With or without the game

you clearly don't know how the virus works either if you think this is good news lol

 

look how long it took for Gilmore's test to come back positive 

 

it could take 1 week before the Chiefs players test positive and by that time they would have already played another game.

The problem is it takes a few days from getting thr virus to testing positive. But even in that interim you can still spread it to someone else. The Patriots/Chiefs game should have never been played.

Nfl needs to get rid of the post game mingling. Should head straight to respective locker rooms

Of course it can happen, but the patterns so far are that it has not. It has been within teams.

Time for the league to take a two week pause, all teams stand down, and just push the calendar out to the right two weeks.  Get this sucker under control.  It's not like they have facility usage problems.  No events are planned in these stadiums that can't be pushed.

We can see similar brief close contacts between many players after every play and after every game.

True it doesn't seem to spread outside very well. But you see that picture of Gilmore right in the face of Mahomes and you have to be a little worried. Patriots and Chiefs and Titans are going to get shut down for a couple weeks IMO. It's starting to spin out of control.

One might need to think that one through a little bit. 

 

I would imagine they have war roomed all contingencies.  If this wasn't one of them, I would be shocked.

Chiefs won’t shut down unless they have more positive tests. So far just the PS player from Saturday

Gilmore knew he was a close contact of Cam, yet inches away no mask from mahomes. Wicked smaht

 

So he was inches away from, and doubtless in the grill of, many Chiefs players throughout the game.

 

Per your link, there were 20 people on the plane of people who were ID'd as close contacts of Cam Newton.

Those who were players were doubtless also inches away from, and in the grill of, Chiefs players throughout the game.

That was required to play the game. Post game mingling not required. Nfl should get rid of that, looking at all the new rules they have

Patriots CB Stephon Gilmore has tested positive for COVID-19, as @TomPelissero reported. 

So, for now, the Patriots have QB Cam Newton, CB Stephon Gilmore and practice squad DT Bill Murray on their Reserve/COVID-19 list.

is he sick?

Cam was not

Then do you send them all home all across the country? That would seem worse than having them under some kinda control with the team.

 

Even if they stay in the city where they play....as I understand it, the normal day of a football player during the season is like "in the facility from 7 am to 6 pm" or something like that.  Maybe 8 to 5 for some who aren't as dedicated.  Individual workouts, practices, meetings, treatment for injuries.  They're very busy.  They go home tired, play with the kids if they're family men, maybe watch some Netflix, and hit the sack. 

 

Now cancel all that.  You have healthy young men with nothing to do outside working out for a couple hours (at a gym open to the public?), still needing treatment for injuries (at a PT/physician open to the public?), and when they finish all that what are they gonna do with the rest of their time?  Knit?  Or go clubbing?

They definitely would not send them “home”. They aren’t even allowed to leave team cities during bye week.

The interview with the Vikings "Infection Control officer in this article explains the belief under which the NFL is playing.

“On a football field, you’re not going to have close contact, because the average football play lasts about six seconds."

 

The whole sportsmanship thing requires that the players make some brief contact to say "good game" "next time" or whatever.  If that's a significant added risk after getting in each other's grills all game, the whole premise on which the NFL season is based is probably faulty.

 

The NFL already prohibited stuff that tends to put players in longer proximity like swapping jerseys and writing on them.
