In a span of five days three D linemen, two LBs, and a TE were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, and a staffer tested positive. I don't understand the point of trying to determine who was "patient zero".

Well I think the point was that Sweats decision not to get vaccinated might cost us a game or two. Possibly the playoffs. I said might because like you said it is speculation. But also like Chico said it spreads easier from the unvaxxed (sweat).

So, all thoughts on personal choice aside, it is definitely a possibility that Sweats personal choice can maybe cost us wins and or the playoffs. Makes me wonder why, if you know a player is unvaccinated that u allow him to be around the team and possibly affect others? I mean with Rodgers it’s obvious. They would lose without him. We don’t exactly need sweat to win games. Just a shitty situation if he took down others with himself. Nobody can force him to get vaccinated but couldn’t they have just kept him away from the team? We could really use those other d linemen.

Edit: fyi im trying to be as cordial as possible and leave my thoughts on personal choice / vaccines out of the equation before this conversation goes south. Hope it comes across that way.
