23 Clemson Football players with Coronavirus

As soon as I saw that I thought the same thing. I have zero confidence they'll be playing football this fall.
 
Yeah, I was hopeful until this last week. Clemson, LSU, Cowboys.....positive tests turning up all over the place. Hard to see how fall football is gonna work out.
 
And probably few if any of those 23 get really sick. It's just so goddamn contagious. So one person brings it to the facility and one becomes 5 and 5 become 15. Now what? Team can't play for 2 weeks at best? How will that ever work. And it's the same for NBA, MLB and NHL. These are ****** pipedreams. UFC, NASCAR, Golf. Maybe at least for a while. Big team sports just isn't gonna work.

There still could be. In theory if the players agree to a season where they live in and play in a state with a low amount of covid 19 cases and play the games in empty stadiums, it can happen. They would probably have to plays the games on Saturday, Sunday and have a double header on Monday night to make it work with some games in high school stadiums.

Expand the rosters to a full 60 players, treat each positive for a player as OUT for 2 weeks. If the players want to be paid, there is a way.
 
Can only imagine you get a few players with the rona and they're out for 2 weeks. Forget injured reserve, we need a damn Rona reserve. This could get really ugly.

wait till a team gets put out of playoff contention because they lost too many people to quarantine.

Until.one team gets 25 cases and then the whole thing is ****** because who do they play and what happens to their season. Look at baseball. They just cant come up with an agreement. And the leave my family and quarentine for 5 months ain't gonna work for the rich ones. I'd say forget it. Not happening.
 
Lambert definitely numerous uno in my book. I agree Watt should be higher. Damn we've had a ton of good ones. Its hard to choose.

How many of the 23 have recovered without incident?

Why don’t you see that info?

All of them I'd imagine. That is not the issue. What happens week 12 when it goes through a team facility?

“I’d imagine”—credit for great transitional language. Seriously. It’s a great way to introduce point of view without attacking.

The good news is that team’s medical personnel know more about what they are dealing with. Let’s avoid the rabbit hole of data & what’s reported vs. hospitals making more financially by listing COVID as reason for administration.

The reality is that when testing is required for this phase—you’re gonna get more positive tests vs. no testing at all. I don’t get why that’s surprising anyone.

I’d argue that a recovery rate of 100% is rather significant.




Just one more thing:

You take a risk getting in your car every day.
At some point we’re all going to have to live in a world with COVID-19 in it. At what point do you decide to live in it vs hide from it?

Would be tough. Fields would take a beating.

I'd imagine at the point where they make vaccinations mandatory... before this BS stops.
