OBJ: NFL season shouldn't happen, team owners 'don't see us as human'
-
I've heard some of these similar sentiments from workers in businesses that somehow retained their "essential" designation during the shutdown. To an extent, I can't blame ODB. That having been said, he is within his right to opt-out should he feesl it necessary. On the other hand, I know how difficult that would be for myself should the season carry on. Watching my teammates and friends do battle without you when you're a competitor is soul wrenching.

I agree.
Some business is essential. Hospitals are essential, as are their suppliers. .Waste collection, water treatment plants, county works departments....we can name dozens that have to remain open. We get that. The NFL, I wouldn't call that essential.
If deemed a essential business, fund them to pay 1.5 pay for normal hours. 2x for overtime. Some things have to stay open. The grocery store, yes, the local donut shop, no. The local McDonalds, yes, due to it's size. You have to eat on the road and their drive- thru's work better than most. The local mom and pop, probably no. Hardware/ feed and seed stores, yes, department stores, no other than Wal-Mart, ....and I hate Wal-Mart, but I do understand their value to the country.

Some business is essential
Note the current approach is that the results of some business are essential - but the ability to continue living of the people doing the work to produce those results is not.

I understand.

$20 billion is all it would take to set up and fund in perpetuity the greatest vaccine hunting laboratory in the history of the world.
We could also study every animal on the planet - Humans have not yet done a comprehensive study of zoonotic viruses, which have been [and will continue to be] nature's pandemic source.

Might take more than that, but if you made it a worldwide effort, it could be done. Have one campus with multiple labs working on multiple projects.
Then again you might want labs on each continent with scientists from everywhere at each. It would be easier to get some bat from South America to a lab in Brazil then ship up to Omaha, or where ever.

How about doing it on an Island somewhere and having that renown scientist.....you know: Dr. Moreau put in charge of it.

And when they escape, we'll call that island Jurassic Park!
And the "Wealthy Benefactor" will die after breaking his ankle and getting bit by wild turkeys - excuse me, Procompsognathus. There's roving gangs of them in new england!

I get what his saying, especially in regards to safety but his walked back on it since seeing how the Browns are taking ever precaution. With that said I remember being blown away by Vikings set up only to learn that their Infections Control Officer actually got Covid last week.
