Gangrene Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Looks like the Patriots and Chiefs will happen tomorrow, Titans have tested positive six days in a row which means the earliest they can reopen their facility is Wednesday, they need two days of all clear results before going back to practice.

Bleedin Green Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Reports are now that the game will be played tomorrow, kickoff at 7:05pm, but of course is contingent on today's / tomorrow's tests. Apparently Pats tests from today already all came back negative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the plans have worked for the most part, and the NFL should be following their leads. The inherent obstacles in terms of succeeding for the NFL are: 1) Volume of personnel: there are upwards of 100 individuals on each NFL team that spend time together, not counting off the street practice squad pick-ups and dont forget the risks involved when players switch teams. 2) The cancellation of ONE NFL GAME can wreck an entire season. Hmmm seems that adding in an extra bye weeks or two would have been an intelligent choice. Assuming more games are cancelled, the season will have to be extended for make-up games. 3) The NFL season is heading into the winter when viruses are much more transmissible. 4) An NFL playoff bubble is possible, but not likely, again due to the sheer volume of personnel. 5) Are NFL players being as careful as MLB, NHL and NBA players were? So far NO, the coaches dont even want to wear masks. 6) The impact of Trump catching it. Not meant to be political - but picture the spin: "I am completely recovered after just a few days, and I will say, It's not serious, not nearly as serious as the flu, open schools and the economy NOW, STAND FORWARD AND LIBERATE AMERICA!" What will be left out are the facts of the level of care Trump got and how early it was determined he caught it - since he gets tested daily. Most civilians will not get a test until they feel symptoms and the viral load has grown and possibly already entered the lungs. Additionally Trump received an experimental therapeutic that will be instantly FDA approved upon his recovery - great, but how many of us will be able to afford the out of pocket costs? He is also receiving Remdesivir- which costs between $3,120-$5,700 based on the length of treatment prescribed (love big pharma) - based on your particular insurance carrier the out of pocket cost could be in the hundreds. I fully expect once Trump is recovered a significant portion of the US Population will be unmasked and living life to the fullest, creating rampant spread (that will reach professional athletes) and hospital overload. Sorry, this is a Wendy's. We do have the off topic club for Covid but even this level of politics probably wouldn't fly there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belichick probably got the answers and had them cheat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game being move to another dare is the easy part. What im saying is, hotel reservations etc have been set for thousands of corporate sponsors etc. where are they going if the dates are changed. All the planned events are set. These plans are a year or more in the making, the NFL would do everything it can to keep everything as planned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
