kevinc855 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 We need to start to push back before this becomes a thing. See article below a) we should test outside the stadium much like we check for alcohol coming in. b) need therapeutics in summer to help treat folks c)football without fans would never be the same https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.phillymag.com/news/2020/04/09/coronavirus-nfl-season-eagles-zeke-emanuel/%3famp=1 1 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ZachEY Posted April 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2020 So, you want 80K tests administered outside of a stadium, and then we'll wait for results? Do we line up on Tuesday? And where do these tests come from, as sick people can't even get them if they're not sick enough? Also, what do we do with all the people exposed by the person who tested positive? 26 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 20andOut Posted April 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2020 First off you can find a doctor that will say just about anything. Secondly it says his specialty is bioethics which means he is going to be pushing for the lowest possible risk approach possible like some of these other clowns saying you need to keep everything in lockdown until there are ZERO new cases. It's never going to happen. There may never be zero new cases. Even if there is a vaccine. The day after they release it there will be anti-vaxers protesting. The way out of this is to restart normal life while protecting the most vulnerable. The more healthy people that get exposed and have minor cases the better we are in the long run. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HawkeyeJet Posted April 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2020 This is the same general sentiment that has been out there from the get go. It's not really new, it's just packaged in a way to directly mention the NFL. I'm sure many health professionals share his opinion. I'm sure others don't. He's talking about large crowds. The season can exist without large crowds. Will it? I don't know. I've read both sides of it. I tend to believe they will play without crowds over cancelling 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoni Beast Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 They should push back the season to start in winter if need be. You can start in dec/jan and finish in the spring. Although, the issue with that is how/when would the following season start its camps etc. Antibody all players and coaches before the season, and by winter 2021 we should have a vaccine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a very real possibility the NFL season will be cancelled. Restaurants and Bars need to open soon. It’s a trillion dollar industry that cannot survive an 18 month shutdown. Realistically I think we are all back to work by May under restrictions: Suspend all non-essential air travel Reduced seating/capacity in bars and restaurants Draft Beer and Drinks to be served in disposable plastic cups Food served on disposable plates/utensils All retail outlets institute rules/guidelines similar to what supermarkets are doing No large gatherings (sports, concerts, 10Ks until further notice) Gyms continue to close (workout outside) Beaches close Barber Shops/HairSalons can open up Hotels/Motels can open up Realistically the greatest public health risks are the the sports and entertainment/airline industry. Both can survive an 18 month shutdown. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Wang Doodle Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 We need to push back? There's nothing we can do. The NFL and it's constituents will certainly be exhausting every conceivable option to play and start the year on time, but acting like we have any say in the matter (and seemingly being willfully ignorant to potentially putting thousands upon thousands of more lives at stake) is just downright foolish. Football isn't more important than the health and wellbeing of the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 This is America. The country is going to open up sooner than we think. We are not going to keep the entire country on lockdown to save the lives of the old and unhealthy. It would be nice if we could, but we can’t. When the healthcare system can manage those that get sick, we will start opening up. We are not far off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
