Fair points made. We almost saw a complete reversal of score in the 2016 and 2020 scores. Both Losers (and really, it should probably be LOSERS with how much crying happened after those games) did not take these losses easily. As for me, call me an outsider, 3rd man, the guy who sees those teams for what they really are and actively root against both, I can't help but sit back in laugh at how these games turned out. The best part is one team thinks I'm rooting for the other team and vice versa, but I promise you, I'm Free from all that hoopla. In fact, the team I actually support is all very Free from the hoopla. (Okay I'm done with this) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 To put it clearly, an owner of one of the teams thought he deserved to play with the big boys of the NFL and, just like in 1985 thought he could sue and sue to get his way. In the end, he just needs to take the $1 in damages he's won, let the big boy owners take over and then go take his team to the XFL where it belongs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like we generally hear of we test positive don't we? I think we knew with Samia right away and Ham was just on the list until he wasn't 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the opposite happened to the rookie RB from Green Bay when they played us. Given how seemingly narrow the views are on this subject, I'll keep my opinion to myself.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a test shows positive results, that employee is sent to urgent care or the health department for the more extensive laboratory test for verification. The employee must quarantine until the 2nd test results are in. If they are positive they continue in quarantine. If it is negative, it is deemed definitive and they can return to work. So far, all the positive tests that have been returned, have also been verified by the laboratory test. We've been doing this for months and so far 100% accuracy. This is only our experience, and not to be an endorsement of all point of contact testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that derides you as a crack pot is delusional and not someone you should take seriously. Even the companies that makes the tests acknowledge false results. Beyond false results from the tests, there are false results caused by human error. Over time, you should expect to see the tests improved. Even then there will be false results. That is reality. I am sorry you were subjected to the mob mentality. I hope that I wasn't the fellow that derided you as a crackpot. I think you are a swell fellow. Real swell! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I know a couple people that had false negatives with a lot of symptoms. No false positives yet but most people i know aren't getting another test after the positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
