Habbsawce Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 If the Chiefs practice squad QB jeopardizes their season, not only will he never see another snap he might find himself living in the woods in a tent. My goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenos Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Just an FYI about testing and incubation period for when you get a true positive vs a false negative. It’s going to take more time to see how far it spread for both teams. https://www.npr.org/sections/latest-updates-trump-covid-19-results/2020/10/02/919731011/why-a-negative-coronavirus-test-doesnt-necessarily-mean-you-re-in-the-clear Quote This phase of infection — where there's a much higher quantity of virus in the nose and throat — is when the coronavirus is most likely to be picked up by a swab and detectable in a test, Graham says, "So people are far more likely to test positive further past exposure than from a nasal swab a couple of days after exposure." In other words, perhaps five days or more after the date of infection. The incubation period varies by person and situation. "It can depend on the amount of virus they're exposed to, it can depend on their own health," says Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoSuperJoe Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Also, moving the game 2 days is such a half assed response. Actually, no it's more like quarter-assed.

But I guess since it's not new and doesn't have that extra zing to it nobody bothered to make it the #1 news story of 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, fewer than 10% of Americans have had COVID-19(source) with over 200k dead. Imagine what that number looks like without social distancing, masks, etc. Sadly, I think we're going to get a glimpse this fall. But this isn't the thread for science talk. Please keep this thread relevant to the game/NFL so it isn't needlessly shutdown like the NFL will be. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear... I think its fair game (and more or less, the point of the thread) to discuss how the NFL will have to react to this news, as well as when/if additional cases develop, and how it may influence the season as a whole. My best interpretation of Webby's rules however is that discussion of the virus itself is explicitly forbidden. Webby did make a thread on this though... but it's been shut down for a few days. Will probably be opened again at some piont in This Aint Sports Talk. ... But whether it's the way I'd do it or not, Webby's goal for this forum has always been pure discussion of football. It's certainly been a successful ideology to this point. So I'd ask that everyone make my job a bit easier to sticking to it. I know it's not easy because there's things going on around us way more important than football, but that can also make this forum a haven to an extent. Thanks! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 0.3% death rate with an average age of death above 80 is hardly worth shutting down society over. Almost everyone who is not incredibly old or with a pre-existing condition is recovering from it.
