viffer Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 1 hour ago, Kleckineau said: This report of these players covid status is incomplete and misleading for the layman. If they simply have tested positive for antibodies its actually a good thing. Fact is the overwhelming majority of persons testing positive will never become sick or exhibit symptoms and minus testing would have never known that they were exposed to someone with covid In response to exposure they develop antibodies and their life goes on uninterrupted. There is a clinical similarity with TB. Millions (billions?) get exposed and develop the antibodies and never get sick. Saw this over and over during my career including my own positive TB / PPD test years ago. I was never sick from it. We wanted full blown testing we got it. Also I am surprised the media is freely sharing private citizens medical information like this. Unless they have signed some form of release giving them permission to use it it is against the law. Haven't you been following this board? Either the sky is falling/we're all going to die, or covid is a hoax and we should open the season with the stadiums full. No quoting facts here.

We've heard of a number of professional athletes that had it and none, that i can recall, got sick enough to go to the hospital. That is actually good news. Reinforces the theory that young, healthy people aren't at risk. If Zeke was in the hospital on a ventilator, that would be concerning. If anything, the Cowboys are lucky a bunch of their players have it now. They are, by most accounts, unlikely to get it again. It would be great news if EVERY Jet player had it with mild to no symptoms, recovered and now had anti-bodies. I kind of wish Sam caught it now and went asymptomatic/recovered fully. My fear is he comes down with it week 2... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUM-KNEE Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 2 hours ago, varjet said: To me this is pretty simple: Players and anyone who is in contact with players gets tests constantly. My son's college is opening 8/26, and they will test everyone every other day. The NFL has more money than Colby College. Add to that temperature testing and symptom monitoring. Players who are positive get quarantined for 14 days. This is the hard part where it falls apart-the players and anyone in contact with them need to quarantine during the season and wear masks when not playing. N95 masks. They cannot be out and about with the general public. If they want to get paid, they need to really keep this locked down. The phones are a powerful team, and we will see lots of pictures and videos of misbehaving players. A player can go to the club and get infected, go on IR and still get paid, and if its isolated that is fine. But if he gets other players sick and a team breaks down, its on him. The Jets should move camp to Cortlandt and really try to keep this locked down as much as possible. I am not optimistic. Colby as in Waterville?

If TC gets pushed back, the NFL will join the other major sports trying to balance finding a way to start a season, and convincing the players it’s safe to do so.

Matt39 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 1 hour ago, JoJoTownsell1 said: I was NOT expecting that from Richard Sherman. I agree with him. I think any players/coaches with medical concerns should be allowed to not play/coach while the rest of the league should play and do their best to contain any outbreaks with massive amounts of testing. You can't quarantine entire teams every time one player tests positive. You just need to test every player multiple times a week, perhaps every day if there are confirmed cases on the team. While we heard that there can be asymptomatic spread it still appears FAR more likely to get it from someone that is symptomatic. If you are testing every day, the likelihood is that you will catch players/coaches before they even get a chance to have symptoms. Same here. At least it sounds like he wants to play and compete. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry McCockinner Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 put every player without underlying health conditions in the nfl on an island with zeke for a month and let them all get infected now.

Per Patrik Walker of CBS Sports, Elliott is asymptomatic and doing well. asymptomatic = a patient is a carrier for a disease or infection but experiences no symptoms.
