July 15, 20205 yr agreed on where they are coming from. And if an outbreak happened then the would be forced to shut down. The thing is if you put a guy on injury for a hamstring for 2 weeks while he gets tested, and he returns; great, no one is the wiser. If you put him on IR for a hammy and he tests positive, you cant play him. How does that player suddenly become out for the year without showing your hand. Plus there are a lot of players, staff, journalists, etc. involved, and nearly everyone has social media. It is just to difficult to effectively cover up without getting caught with your hand in the money...err cookie jar. also, do you think that poorly of Laurie. I mean yeah he is in it for the money, but he is a pretty good guy and he is generally smart about keeping a clean image. Jerry Jones would cover this crap up in a heartbeat and blatantly lie to the press about it.

Jerry Jones would cover this crap up in a heartbeat and blatantly lie to the press about it. i am hoping a guy like lurie would be smart about a positive diagnosis on the team and NOT try to hide it. but i DO NOT know lurie personally. as i think is the same with basically everyone on this forum. he has his persona that the public sees and what we associate with him, but that does not mean we know him or how he would handle something. but we also know there would be some unscrupulous owners out there, who would not skip a beat burying any positive results in an effort to get the most amount of profit. as far as using an injury to cover up a positive covid test for a player, as long as the injury stated lasts the length of what would be the amount of time to quarantine for covid... and the player comes back, yes.. no one would be wiser. i do not think a team would put someone on IR for an injury if they are trying to hide a positive covid case. i just do not put it past some organizations or franchises to try and pull a fast one for the $$$.

July 15, 20205 yr 4 hours ago, JayEcho said: football is a BILLION dollar industry. it's not like there is no precedent of them fluffing injuries to keep their stars in the game. heck, the league still trying to push for a season during this increased covid outbreak currently happening should be enough to tell you that they will do ANYTHING to keep their profits. if "starting left tackle" and "starting tight end" are out for two weeks due to a "hamstring injury" then all of a sudden, 20 players on the roster are out for covid forcing the franchise and potentially the league to shut down... i'd start looking at the "starting left tackle" and "starting tight end" injuries to see if they really were "hamstring" issues. Way too much conspiracy theory there for me, but believe what you want. IMO, you'd have 0% chance of pulling that coverup off in this situation. Between the players, the media, doctors, NFLPA, agents, families, etc., someone would let it be known. Hell, Alshon whined to the media about far less divisive issues, but you think they can keep this quiet. Right. It's easy to grasp that their push to have a season right now (in July) means little to nothing. Sure, they want to open, but so doesn't every other sports league and college. Whether that comes to fruition is far from decided. Why close the door so early versus taking a wait-and-see approach? There's plenty of time to be afraid and backtrack later. However, there are also plenty of people that would show up on opening day, if given the chance.

LOL see this is why it's a big deal that labs like the ones in Florida that are reporting 98% when it's 9% or another reporting 76% when it is 6%. This is happening across the country. Those are massive distortions. Yes, Covid is real, there is a spike, but your overreaction to inflated numbers is the exact type of hysteria that some are hoping to generate. I just read a study out of Germany today that kids in school are doing fine. Quote Schools have low coronavirus infection rate, German study finds https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/14/schools-coronavirus-infection-rate-low-german-study-finds.html Quote 600 Physicians Say Lockdowns Are A ‘Mass Casualty Incident’ More than 600 of the nation’s physicians sent a letter to President Trump this week calling the coronavirus shutdowns a "mass casualty incident” with "exponentially growing negative health consequences” to millions of non COVID patients. https://www.forbes.com/sites/gracemarieturner/2020/05/22/600-physicians-say-lockdowns-are-a-mass-casualty-incident/#7183c54950fa Of course the same progressive AP media who is pushing the Covid hysteria disregarded the article calling them all "pro Trump". Sure, they'd all just throw the oath they took out the window and do something they honestly know would hurt people. Whatever. Bottom line is we have to live our lives to a degree and let this blow through. Going back to quarantine is just going to kill the economy and make our lives miserable. There is no reason we can't have sports either.

Regardless of their size the study findings still hold true. You also missed the point about all the fake positives. When multiple Florida labs are reporting numbers 70 to 90 percent off it makes numbers grow pretty quick. When you have bias in the media creating hysteria and labs reporting grossly overblown numbers people think the sky is falling. It's not. Is it serious? Yes. Should we go back to quarantine or cut off sports? No.

July 16, 20205 yr When there is no global pandemic —watching at home on the big screen in a recliner with your dog beside you, eating reasonably priced home cooked food and reasonably priced cold beer, with frequent visits to your clean bathroom that you strategically manage to nail without missing a play, without a painful drunk driver-dodging commute home, is almost always superior to the in-stadium NFL experience. During a global pandemic? When any non-mask wearing knuckle-dragging slob’s cough or piss could end your life? Seriously?

It doesn't. 70 to 90 percent of "CONFIRMED" cases in multiple labs in Florida are bull. If they are reporting that many false positives then yes all the deaths that are being attributed to it aren't all Covid deaths either.

However, when FOX 35 News contacted the hospital, they confirmed errors in the report. Orlando Health's positivity rate is only 9.4 percent, not 98 percent as in the report. The report also showed that the Orlando Veteran’s Medical Center had a positivity rate of 76 percent. A spokesperson for the VA told FOX 35 News on Tuesday that this does not reflect their numbers and that the positivity rate for the center is actually 6 percent. Countless labs have reported a 100 percent positivity rate, which means every single person tested was positive. Other labs had very high positivity rates. FOX 35 News found that testing sites like one local Centra Care reported that 83 people were tested and all tested positive. Then, NCF Diagnostics in Alachua reported 88 percent of tests were positive. Bottom line is Covid is serious, but we are being massively lied to.

Data from the Florida Department of Health lists some Southwest Florida labs with 100% positivity rates.

Good luck. they mistakenly reported just the positives and not the negatives: Quote This follows a numbers breakdown. Data from the Florida Department of Health lists some Southwest Florida labs with 100% positivity rates. The DOH argues that some labs aren’t providing the negative test results, meaning it looks like everyone being tested is positive for COVID-19. https://www.winknews.com/2020/07/15/questions-surround-accuracy-of-covid-testing-reports-in-florida/ that's not a false positive. a false positive would be akin to your wife or girl getting a positive on her pregnancy test when she is not pregnant. this is mistakenly reporting only people who are confirmed positive and not people who were not positive. which means, yeah.. the people reported as confirmed positive are still positive with the virus. the number of confirmed positive is not changing or being skewed. again if 78 people out of 100 are confirmed positive. and it's reported as 78/78.. instead of 78/100.. 78 people are still confirmed positive. that did not change. the lab did not provide a "false positive" as you are saying.
