Vaccinations don't prevent the disease, just the severity, and Omicron is more prevalent than Alpha or Delta. Not sure when the NFL is introducing the non-testing protocol for players who have been vaccinated; there are apparently 50+ players who tested positive today - are they all non-vaccinated, all showing symptoms or is the protocol not in place yet?

 

I don't know for sure but it would not be shocked if every single player was vaccinated.

Omicron may very well be the dominant strain by the end of the week given its infectivity rate.  This is going to wreck the league.

 

Considering Omicron is supposedly much less severe symptom-wise than earlier strains, quite possible to have a lot of players positive with it going forward and just asymptomatic, leading to it not being found with the new testing protocols.

That is TBC at this point. The initial data from South Africa looks promising but there are other variables at play there too so too early to make any firm conclusions.

Let’s hope.

Addition by subtraction.  I would like to see more Basham and less Epenesa anyways.

You show this kind of compassion when you’re rounding?

Interesting they were saying 3% on Friday. Makes one wonder how much to trust the data😜

 

Doubling time is very fast.

Isn’t the new rule that vaccinated asymptomatic players aren’t going to be tested?

I think so. That was as of this weekend, so maybe these guys were showing symptoms or something. 

 

But who says if they are 'showing symptoms' or not? The team? Or an independant 3rd party? Just looking for a conspiracy angle here....

And there’s the rub.  I don’t know how that’s being done.

The franchise medical team I presume? They're not going to want players with symptoms hanging out with the rest of the roster.
