Talonblood Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 This just isn't going to work. Even if they play the games, if team's key players get covid, what's the sense? You could easily wind up not having the best team win a championship, because the team that wins isn't superior, the just had less covid infected players than their opponent. Some championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they all get sick now then by November they’ll be getting healthy at the right time for the stretch run. 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be a long time until sports return to normal - if they do. I’m sure Covid will dramatically change many things including professional sports. Also will be curious who retires in the coming months across the major sports leagues. No actually we all don't know that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn7980 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 The Covid situation is concerning. Players are opt-out or tested positive. This is before the actual practices take place. Hard to imagine what it will be when they are in practice and have plenty of close human contacts. If they can't keep things under control, it would make sense to cancel the season.

People used to have pox parties before there was a chicken pox vaccine so they could expose their children and get them immunity. Prior to that, people would deliberately rub a scab from someone with smallpox on their finger so they would get a mild case of smallpox rather getting it through the air which was much more deadly. It’s going to really suck if we have 10-15 guys get it and miss 2-3 games, especially in December or in the playoffs. These are all young, healthy guys who would probably wouldn’t even get sick. Isolate them from their families and let’s move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civicsixxx Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 There are studies that have shown underlying damage done to the lungs and heart in recovered asymptomatic people. Just because someone doesn’t have severe reaction to the virus doesn’t mean It’s low risk. Their health is their lively-hood. Medical professionals are still learning more and more about this virus each day. Saying they should just all ‘get it and move on’ so you can watch football is frankly asinine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re referring to a study in Wuhan. First, should we believe anything the Chinese say? Second, the research is based on 37 cases and none of them were young, professional athletes who are in better physical shape than 99.9% of the country. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been plenty of studies. This was the most recent one from Germany. The reason the US is so effed right now is because the selfish idiots keep downplaying the virus and saying it’s no big deal.

Even my Dr. said this whole thing is overhyped. It’s just a novel virus that no one has immunity to yet. Once a vaccine comes out and more people get it and build immunity, it will be no different than the seasonal flu.

Not one. Such a dumb argument coming from someone who sticks up for the Chinese while bashing Trump. Yeah, I see where you’re coming from. Covid should not be political because there’s no way to stop a virus when kids are down at the Jersey Shore playing beer pong and sharing cups. But I’m sure that’s Trump’s fault... You should be pissed at the Chinese. Whether this came from a wet market or accidentally escaped from a lab, they were completely negligent. Then they lied about the numbers and failed to shut down travel to and from China. Of course there were some young, healthy people who died from the virus but young, healthy people die from all sorts of stuff. Don’t mean to be cold but that’s just part of life. People die in car accidents all the time but we still drive. That’s because the benefits of driving outweigh the risk of driving. Same thing with Covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the facts. Typical liberal calling people names. If you don’t agree with me, you’re a racist, What nonsense. I do agree with you about people being selfish. People should be social distancing and wearing masks to reduce the risk instead of partying down the Jersey Shore and attending protests. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
