Football and coronavirus

  • The Marlins today had double digit players & coaches test positive for the virus.  It's affected two games being canceled so far.  

    It's not football, but I think all of the pro sports starting up are somehow dependent upon each other to show that it CAN be done.  Baseball is in trouble after just one weekend.  

    Over the weekend we had 2 players test positive.  Dontrell HIlliard and Jovante Moffatt are on the COVID-19 reserve list.  And the rest of the players are supposed to arrive tomorrow and start getting tested.  I'd guess a couple more guys turn up positive...but I hope not.  Supposedly they paid Mofatt (S) over 100 grand to come to camp.

    Masks mandatory if fans are allowed in stadiums at all

    Suck it, you non-mask people.  Or just delete your account on this forum.

    And if that statement is cancel culture, good -- "Cancel Culture" is basically right-wingers being very angry that when they exercise their right to free speech to "own the libs", some libs use their freedom of speech to respond in kind. After all, only conservatives have rights.

  • CDC has acknowledged that 35% of everyone positive for covid -- NOT just those admitted/in ICU etc -- have multiple long-term [3+ weeks] effects from virus.  This number is 20% even for ages 18-34 with zero other issues.

    Over half of everyone covid-positive in Spain has long-term neurologic problems.

    78% of patients "recovered" from covid have cardiovascular changes.  That link is JAMA.  A Red Sox pitcher is one of those.

    I'm glad to see you've found something other than "It's just a flu" to tell yourself.

    Diabetes, hepatitis, lupus, congestive heart failure, and hypertension are equally nothing!

    I have never said it was just the flu.  I also have diabetes.

    I don't know what the hell you are talking about.

  • My apologies.. when you said that this virus could kill you in 20 years I thought you were attempting to say it was meaningless and could be ignored..

    My point is that covid is absolutely unlike any virus that has affected humans before [Click the link I labeled "today's long-form must read above!] because it invades through so many different systems of the body and therefore triggers such a wide variety of issues / long-term unrecoverable changes that it has to be placed along with diabetes/lupus/CHF as conditions to manage rather than things you can "heal" from.

    I just saw where two young twenty year old nonsmokers got lung replacements one or both lungs.  This is a nasty bug that has gone around the world.

    And cardio issues can have lasting effects what exactly we don't know.

    Trump puts his brand on many things he doesn't own and  had nothing to do with creating.  So, while he certainly didn't create this....he has certainly branded this with his name like he owns it.

    MLB is already having a big problem; and they rarely ever have this many players this close together inhaling each other's asss breath during their games.

    I wonder what week the NFL will come out of denial and end the season...

  • My guess is week 3-4 after about 20% of the league test positive.   Fuck the Chinese.

    To edit....that is a great image...MLB doesn't have nearly as much close contact and is seeing infections rise.

    Careful with that logic.. h1n1 of 2009 and the flu of 1918 both started in the US.. Interestingly the 1918 flu is also an h1n1.

    It's generally known as the spanish flu because spain's newspaper industry was the first to report on it.
