Football and coronavirus
-
Yeah, just look at the line of scrimmage with proximity of teammates and opponents. On short yardage plays or any runs for that matter, it's pretty uncommon to just see a solo tackle pile of just 2 people. The same goes for short passes. Huddles? The contact itself is going to make this an enormous challenge. Not to mention many of the states with at least 2 teams are really getting hit hard by the virus and politically blinded leadership putting people in the front lines (doctors and nurses) at extended risk, burnout and depression.
1 very doable change is giving everyone plastic face shields. Drawback might be they steam up; but technology should have solutions.
Even the locker rooms and so many things we're probably not even thinking about - that'll challenge spacing and that potential for germs to spread.
Forget face shields. You can't put them in astronaut helmets. Sorry Flugs, I don't see any safe way to play. People sweating, banging in to each other at high velocity, causing gasps.
The first down will be HS football. What parent is going to want their child to risk life? What about college.? If my kids were still in college, I'd have them drop out for a year before heading in to some germ infested dorm if they couldn't study online. The Pro's need to be the leaders here. They need to give it up.
What parent is going to want their child to risk life?
Parents who send their kids to corona parties in the South.
Herd immunity will NOT be a thing.. for the 4,375th time, this is NOT the flu or the measles. Note further down that people can and do spread the virus even if they have no symptoms.. and, of course, that lockdowns can and do stop the spread.
Who'dathunk it: Biology doesn't care about your political position! To be clear, the problem with football is that "isolate if symptoms" won't be enough.
Fun note: If SARS-1 had hit the US harder in 03 / 04, I'm betting we'd have a much better roadmap for these debates. People completely forget about the 2003 months of lockdowns in Asia which was the prequel to this.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news in such a harmonious thread, but there will not be a single snap in any level of football in 2020.
Carry on.....
Precisely! We interrupt this conversation to bring you breaking news...
Linus, his wife Sally, and all 7 kids are still in the Pumpkin Patch with exciting news they think they heard the very first movement from Great Pumpkin according to Fox News. CNN's Chris Cuomo has chimed in with a spoiler alert. Unfortunately, it was only their grandson Gorka behind the Scarecrow; looking at pictures in Playgirl Magazine and making creepy noises with his pants down next to an empty viagra wrapper. All of a sudden the camera captured the naked George Costanza clone screaming at his aunts and uncles "which one of you phucking libtards stole my pom poms?" Wait a second, here comes a well trained Fox News reporter lecturing "Don't believe what you see from camera lenses or what you hear from microphones; because all inconvenient truth = fake news!"
Next week we will feature how America needs to get Nurse Ratched back in charge of the R-Wing and on their medications asap; so freedom of speech can be appreciated by the percentages of the population it used to be back when America WAS Great!

Nurse Ratchet ?
OR **
Nurse Joker?
Speak loudly for your freedom at the voting boxes ? or your local Pumpkin Patch ? 
Players have their own Personal & family rights to not play..Opt. Out! it's your paid/not paid profession..
but not trying to use all the protective measures,(some not in place yet?) than not opening Training Camps just seems even worse... ?.... They waited to long to start *the* conversations with the players ,imho...
Next Up? The delay of Camps... and that's ok, if both sides are still talking players safety...
If cancel is right? CANCEL! but the Right TIME is still on the NFL's Football side, by months... Protections are not all in place to hit locker rooms & play per the Players Union..
here's a few...The new Shields must be worn in the trenches if not by all.(prefer all) and Surely ya can spread the sideline box further open. Huddles or more no Huddles? Teams can spread huddles further off the ball.. not 6ft, but maybe 2/3 feet and College football rarely huddles.. Scripted sets & sideline calls just need a snap count
️(and don't believe all ya see)
We Shall see! ? maybe some Month ? ... till than, the few slim believers still have hope.. GO Browns!!

Ballpeen, you do know I was agreeing with you right (post pasted below just in case)? Yeah, I've been posting for a while now in 2-3 different threads I don't see any possible way they're going to have a season. Today, I was just trying to think of a better plan than MLB is going to resort to when I see guys on the Tampa Bay Devil Rays wearing masks while practicing in Florida heat. I thought to myself, there's NO WAY you could do that in the NFL. Guys with eye injuries have worn the face shields in the past; but JJ Watt and others are already saying they aren't wearing one.

Interesting read. So student athletes should get and receive testing results within 72 hours? That's a lot of testing. Highlights of article:
- Testing strategies should be implemented for all athletics activities, including pre-season, regular season and post-season.
- Testing and results should be obtained within 72 hours of competition in high contact risk sports.
- Universal masking should be observed on all sidelines, including when an athlete moves from the playing field to the sideline to confer with a coach.
- All individuals with high-risk exposure must be quarantined for 14 days.
- All student-athletes and athletics personnel should understand that COVID-19 risk mitigation practices should be observed at ALL times, including non-athletic related activities.

So this virus is so dangerous that you can have it and never even know it, and when you do get it, for some reason you and the human race will not build any immunity to it..... Meaning you might get it again and never even know you had it a second , third, seventeenth time.
Based on humanity's ability - or lack thereof, to prevent the common cold strain of Coronavirus, none of us should be all warm and fuzzy over a fast approaching vaccine. And if there is one on the horizon, who are going to be the first volunteers? < That was a rhetorical question as we all know it will be the poor, but let's pretend that the brave, poor "volunteers" don't all die or have other complications, and the miracle vaccine goes to market....... are you going to inject it?
( I won't eat meat or dairy because I know what they put into the animals that I would eat, so you can probably guess how cold it would have to get in hell for me to inject that shit into my body )
So what's the plan Stan? Are you going to force the entire planet into this miracle vaccination? If 'yes' - good luck with that, so I'll answer my own question with a 'no'.
So now we're back to "lockdowns can and do stop the spread". < I guess the planet's new way of life..... Lock everyone down until the virus magically disappears because it's for their own good - again, good luck with that.
On a side note:
My 79 year old mother in law had to be moved into an assisted living facility near my wife and I the week CA closed in late March. Her whole way of life has been upended. She can no longer drive, moved from Redding CA away from all of her friends, but it simply had to be done as she can no longer take care of herself and we couldn't move our lives to help her.
^ All of that would be devastating in a normal world, but with COVID any time she leaves the building - for any reason, she has to be locked in her room for 14 days. Once the 14 days are over the residents are allowed to be in small groups of 3 or less, and of course have to wear a mask and distance themselves. All meals are delivered to their rooms where they all must eat in isolation.
None of the residents are allowed to have ANY visitors... NONE! My wife can NOT go see her mother, even though she is a 12 minute drive away. She will turn 80 in late August and we are having a party at our home with all of her family coming to see her. We will all be as smart as possible with the majority of the party happening in our large back yard with a pool.
She wants the party because, and I quote: "Right now this isn't living, I'm just existing. I would rather live and die because of it, than simply exist until I die."

Are you going to force the entire planet into this miracle vaccination?
Here we see the best type of red herring - a strawman argument! - in the wild.
It distracts from the main issue - understanding the beast that is c19 as baseline for determining steps to take to address it - by attempting to frame all who do fight it as people with Nefarious Intentions. [Of course, his intentions are Perfectly Pure!] As well, it introduces 2 irrelevant items : 1) "the entire planet" as though anyone in the US has anything to say regarding actions taken by another sovereign.. and 2) the notion of a vaccination, which wasn't even mentioned in the links I described.

Fun: it's both a red herring AND a strawman argument!
Sorry. I only have 12yrs of free public education, so forgive me that I don't understand this.
I thought maybe you would give a heartfelt solution to my points rather than a cute, condescending comment, but ultimately I knew I was barking up the wrong red herring.

No, you didn't. You're not sorry at all. You did, however, use a lot of words to demonstrate your lack of interest in actually doing anything constructive.
If you were ACTUALLY interested - like a Real American - you would have clicked the link and pondered [using your inside voice] "Hm, what if that's true?"
Instead, you tried to flame me. That's not being interested - it's being an ass. A whole ass!

So now you've called me a racist, baby boy, ass and not a "Real" American? Also, you tried to bully me into deleting my Browns Board account in order to cancel me, and insinuated that I'm lacking in intelligence because I would have to ponder by actually speaking out loud.... How very tolerant and inclusive of you.
For what it's worth, I did click on your link and read the whole thing. If I were so (was so??) inclined I could hunt around the awesome invention known as the internet to find an exact rebuttal to your article, but since I don't trust any media outlet or government agency, I'm guessing you already know whether or not I put forth that effort.
I'll try 1 more time, with 100% sincerity... If you were the Supreme Leader of the Planet, and made 100% of all the rules regarding COVID (from this date forward as we can't change the past), what would you do? Hopefully you take into account some of my points in my original post.
Not a bait to a fight, and no other ulterior motives other than hearing your opinion.
BTW, 'baby boy' still makes me literally laugh out loud.

You have selected the "I would have a response but words and stuff!" comeback?
what would you do?
If you want to solve a problem, the general methodology is historically known as PDCA. If you want to know more.. click the link.
In reality from professional practitioners of problem solving such as.. myself, the actual cycle is check-adjust-plan-implement-check-adjust. Otherwise [using only PDCA, or just going to "implement" and stopping] you're merely doing the solution you jumped to at first glance before studying the problem. [Fun analogy: Southern states hopped right to their preferred solution of telling everyone to open back up.. and so can be said to fail at the "adjust" steps.]
The other problem is lack of buy-in to any solution even if the "perfect" solution was available.
One "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help." So when you set out to eliminate public trust in government, don't act shocked when people.. have no faith in government. Although it seems to have been modified somewhat recently to "I'm a Republican from the government," I still don't think any solution -perfect or not- would receive the public faith that any team of officials was genuinely trying to do right and worth following.
This is the counterexample which proves Reagan wrong. You need public faith in government during pandemics or the pandemic does not go away, period. US has been lucky since the 1918 flu - and appears to have learned nothing from it.
Two Orwell on nationalism -- "Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them."
For all those people who complain about "rights" which are supposedly being taken away by masks, the very thing those same people have been saying for years would be The End Of It ["gummint agents coming!"] is actually happening in Portland and those anti-mask people are.. perfectly fine with it. So we know they don't actually care about the government agents... they're just players on a team. Which is fine, you do you - but if you're going to be disingenuous, don't be shocked when people see your claims of Little Green Men and Principles To Die For for what they really are: just another political scare tactic.
Not everything is political - Fauci doesn't give a flying pangolin about "Team Democrat".
You want me to propose "A Solution"? Only after Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson would agree to talk positively about the things I'd say.. because in the same way that the best workout for obese people is the one that they'll do.. the best solution to this is the one that even Republicans would follow. What's that? There is none? Yep.
Other Republicans wouldn't do poorly to notice that Mass Gov Baker is a Republican who mandates masks, has slowly opened up, and has seen a decrease in cases.

Don't blame them at all. If there are not to be fans in the stands, then playing in Buffalo seems a good choice. But...will NY state allow people to come in. Florida would though. Their governor doesn't give a shit who may get sick and die if there are some bucks to be made.

Florida is a mess because of the corrupt Governor following the lead of economy TRUMPS people/human lives. Salt in wounds, millions of Florida residents didn't get their 1st unemployment checks until after the economy re-opened - and some still haven't. The on-line application glitch was conveniently extended throughout the period Trump was ecstatic announcing all his Republican Governors had GREAT economies during the Pandemic. Meanwhile those Governors that did the right thing paying the unemployed reflected economic accuracy via integrity despite how inconvenient the truth was. That's a GIGANTIC part of the Corona Virus battle putting people and human lives first over the economy. Florida is a nightmare and the Governor under the influence of Trump would rather let people die than shut everything down for 3-4 weeks. If NYC can get to 0 deaths from the Virus from being the worst in the world; then ditch the ego for the science and take the precautions that limit the risk. YES, do the unthinkable and shut it down for a few weeks. These doctors and nurses are on borrowed time working extended hours in ICUs. Some are getting sick while others are getting fatigued mentally and physically during their prolonged exposures. HELP THEM because you can!!!!!!
Besides, when you deceitfully manipulate economic numbers it's gonna bite you in the assss sooner or later. For example, are we finally going to see somebody's tax returns within the next 6 months?

Based on humanity's ability - or lack thereof, to prevent the common cold strain of Coronavirus, none of us should be all warm and fuzzy over a fast approaching vaccine. And if there is one on the horizon, who are going to be the first volunteers? < That was a rhetorical question as we all know it will be the poor, but let's pretend that the brave, poor "volunteers" don't all die or have other complications, and the miracle vaccine goes to market....... are you going to inject it?
( I won't eat meat or dairy because I know what they put into the animals that I would eat, so you can probably guess how cold it would have to get in hell for me to inject that shit into my body )
So what's the plan Stan? Are you going to force the entire planet into this miracle vaccination? If 'yes' - good luck with that, so I'll answer my own question with a 'no'.
So now we're back to "lockdowns can and do stop the spread". < I guess the planet's new way of life..... Lock everyone down until the virus magically disappears because it's for their own good - again, good luck with that.
On a side note:
My 79 year old mother in law had to be moved into an assisted living facility near my wife and I the week CA closed in late March. Her whole way of life has been upended. She can no longer drive, moved from Redding CA away from all of her friends, but it simply had to be done as she can no longer take care of herself and we couldn't move our lives to help her.
^ All of that would be devastating in a normal world, but with COVID any time she leaves the building - for any reason, she has to be locked in her room for 14 days. Once the 14 days are over the residents are allowed to be in small groups of 3 or less, and of course have to wear a mask and distance themselves. All meals are delivered to their rooms where they all must eat in isolation.
None of the residents are allowed to have ANY visitors... NONE! My wife can NOT go see her mother, even though she is a 12 minute drive away. She will turn 80 in late August and we are having a party at our home with all of her family coming to see her. We will all be as smart as possible with the majority of the party happening in our large back yard with a pool.
She wants the party because, and I quote: "Right now this isn't living, I'm just existing. I would rather live and die because of it, than simply exist until I die."
^ READ THAT SHIT AGAIN

My mother-in law is 93 and in a similar situation down in Florida.

Is it true the Giants are letting Corey Coleman practice without having to wear a mask as it is almost impossible for him to catch anything

To all of you that have loved ones in assisted living or nursing homes, I'm so sorry! It's difficult by itself, but now with what the virus has done to that population...and you can't visit them...take and do their laundry...etc. I'm just so sorry!
