talisaynon Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Corona is scarier the more we learn about it. There are 30 year olds literally getting heart attacks a month or so after they recover. People who permanently get lung scarring in their 20s that need lung replacement surgery. It’s not the ******* flu at all. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or, like what actually happened, which was Bell and Perriman, who train in the area, reaching out and getting Sam and the others to join them down there. Its great they’ve all gotten together, and props to Sam for being there, but lol at this being something Darnold gets credit for organizing.

Here's more; https://www.vox.com/2020/3/23/21190033/coronavirus-covid-19-deaths-by-age This is an idiotic post. 50-100 deaths when talking about MILLIONS of cases is as close to 0% risk as there can be. Not to mention 90% of deaths under 50 are for from people with pre existing medical conditions. Not a SINGLE person fitting the physical profile of an NFL athlete has died from this. Not to mention the fact that at leas 50% of cases are asymptomatic or nearly asymptomatic so the number of “confirmed” cases can easily be multiplied by 100. The scientific fact of the matter is that a healthy person under 50 has a better chance of dying from the flu, and probably diarrhea, than Covid. I highly recommend that you inform yourself; look at the data and made rational decisions. From the fear mongering article you posted: ”Data on more than 1,400 hospitalizations released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that just over 25 percent of people hospitalized with covid-19 were under age 50. Most of these young people suffered from underlying conditions such as asthma, diabetes and hypertension. But at least seven for whom the CDC had data had no outside health problems, underscoring that a small fraction of severe cases remain hard to explain.” 99.95% of hospitalizations are from people over 50 or people with underlying medical conditions. Lastly, even using 50 is deceiving. The numbers don’t really start to change until you get to 70. Something like 95% of all deaths form covid has been from people over 70. The idea of an NFL athlete, the modern day gladiator who literally bashes his head for a living would be afraid of covid is beyond laughable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NBA is playing their season in Orlando to keep the players isolated. Being an NFL player is a 24/7 job as it is.

Max; I'm responsible for dragging this subject into this thread, because I mentioned that I didn't think it was smart for Sam Darnold & certain Jets players to be holding workouts in Dade County, Florida - which happens to be the hardest hit county in Florida by far, with active COVID 19 cases & deaths with 21.917 cases as of today; 3.433 hospitalizations & 825 deaths. I thought they could have picked a safer location that has been less affected - but some of the brainiacs on this forum, seem to think it's not that big a risk for young people. Obviously, I'm dead wrong & young guys have nothing to be concerned about with COVID 19 pandemic; That's why Ohio State University is now mandating players to sign a COVID 19 waiver, in order to attend off-season work outs; https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/ohio-state-requires-players-to-sign-covid-19-waivers-a-move-that-will-likely-become-commonplace/ I guess they must have a bunch of really OLD students at Ohio State; There are some really foolish, naïve people here @Maxman; It's really unbelievable. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why take that kind of risk? Sam doesn't need another season where he misses part of the season - or worst case, a whole season, due to illness, when smarter decision making could have gone a long way toward mitigating the risk.

First of all, for people in Sams age group and physical profile, mono is a more serious disease than covid 19. The vast majority of people in their 20s experience no symptoms or those of a mild cold. Mono knocks you out for months almost every time. The fact that you can find a single case of a 30 year old being hospitalized is irrelevant and non sensical. I can give you examples of 30 year olds being hospitalized by diarrhea. Darnold has a better chance of being hit by lightning than catching covid and requiring intubation. I don’t know what tabloid or conspiracy theory website you got this theory that you get covid “for life” and that it makes you immunocompromised. That’s nonsense. How on earth would anyone know the lifetime impacts of a virus that has been around for 6 months. Not possible. What’s happening with the Dallas Cowboys is that players are being proactively tested and some are positive. They feel fine and are asymptomatic. Means nothing. Stop spreading lies, fear and misinformation. Start using common sense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More people will die of covid and the chance will go up. We'll see if it over takes death by lightning strike but I highly doubt it. The data on the site you referenced disagrees. It shows 9,176 deaths in the 35-44 age group, 3,298 in the 25-34 age group and another 1,500+ in younger ages. I find the interface very clumsy, so it's possible the chart I set up isn't accurate, but based on the labels, it should be. So lets call that 14k deaths in people 0-44 (I don't know how you got 777 unless that was for a specific week). Which raises the odds to roughly 1 in 13,000. But that's across all people in the country, not just those who were exposed. There's not really a good way to determine the right denominator for this analysis. What you really want to understand is three things: 1) What is my risk of being exposed 2) What is my risk of being infected, if exposed 3) What is my risk of serious debilitation or dying if infected. We just don't know enough based on the limited data I've been able to find. But we've already seen players turn up infected. So just to pick a number, let's say 1 in 100 who are infected will get sick enough to not be able to play (and I suspect it's higher than that). There are about 1,700 players in the league. That risk is not the same as lightning strikes. I'm not in a position to judge anyone else's risk-reward math, but you may be grossly understating the actual risk here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows 9,176 deaths in the 35-44 age group, 3,298 in the 25-34 age group and another 1,500+ in younger ages. I find the interface very clumsy, so it's possible the chart I set up isn't accurate, but based on the labels, it should be. So lets call that 14k deaths in people 0-44 (I don't know how you got 777 unless that was for a specific week). Which raises the odds to roughly 1 in 13,000. But that's across all people in the country, not just those who were exposed. There's not really a good way to determine the right denominator for this analysis. What you really want to understand is three things: 1) What is my risk of being exposed 2) What is my risk of being infected, if exposed 3) What is my risk of serious debilitation or dying if infected. We just don't know enough based on the limited data I've been able to find. But we've already seen players turn up infected. So just to pick a number, let's say 1 in 100 who are infected will get sick enough to not be able to play (and I suspect it's higher than that). There are about 1,700 players in the league. That risk is not the same as lightning strikes. I'm not in a position to judge anyone else's risk-reward math, but you may be grossly understating the actual risk here. FFS - I left out the 35-44 deaths like an idiot. Thank you. I don't see where you're getting this from though? "3,298 in the 25-34 age group and another 1,500+ in younger ages." I got the data from the chart below, but like I said I f'd up and didn't include the 35-44 deaths which was the biggest group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran charts two different ways and got two different answers to the same question, which makes it all suspect. But here's how I set it up. Pretty simple. COVID-19 deaths by Age Group.
