110%
Football is always 110% And if you're on time you're late.

Ryan Tannehill to the COVID list.
It sure seems like COVID will hit some team at the wrong time, and WFT still seems one of the likeliest candidates. |

According to this article 4 teams are below 89%, but they don't specify which 4.

Re: Coronavirus (sports edition) thread
Since Matty thought the name thread was to groundhog day'ish I figured I could bring this one out of retirement too!
https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-union-a...030330303.html The NFLPA wants daily testing, the NFL doesn't. I think daily testing for everyone with simple contact prevention methods for positive tests (not the draconian one unvaxxed players face) would be the smartest solution. Also the article mentions masks are required again for everyone in certain situations Quote:

Re: Coronavirus (sports edition) thread
“People tend to focus on testing, but it’s very important that we realize, testing is not prevention,” Sills said, per the Tallahassee Democrat. “Testing is not preventing anyone from transmitting the virus. It is one part of our mitigation strategy but it’s not the key part."
- NFL Chief Medical Officer Dr. Allen Sills Sills pointed to "other mitigation measures such as masking and the avoidance of in-person meetings and in-person meals" as key steps to slowing transmission. DUMB... So let's have the players practice and play as a team on the field, sharing each others blood and sweat, but avoid in-person meals and meetings so we don't have to test them more often. |

Re: Coronavirus (sports edition) thread
Assuming the NFL doesn't want to cancel position meetings and on-field contact it would seem testing would be a bigger part of the equation now.

Re: Coronavirus (sports edition) thread
Yes it is messages like this from Doctors and Scientists that is is part of the cause of some mistrust in experts. I assume he he is trying to say that testing is no substitute for Vaccination, but didn't do a good job.

Re: Coronavirus (sports edition) thread
Thought I would share my families current situation just for knowledge sake. My wife and I who are both vaccinated, just tested positive for the virus along with our 11 year old son. Our daughter who is 13 tested negative, but she just took the first vaccine shot 2 weeks ago. I actually had been dealing with a sinus infection from allergy issues for the last 3 weeks, got tested during that and was negative. We still wore masks in the grocery stores and all...and haven't been around many people for the most part. We can't help but think that our son got this from football practice...but obviously we'll never know. But this thing ain't going away no time soon...vaccinated or not.
