Re: Coronavirus (sports edition) thread

As we know, even if you're vaccinated, you can still test positive. For most people who are young and in good shape like NFL players, they'll probably not even experience any symptoms. So let those that are vaccinated and asymptomatic play.

I think the optics would be bad. I don’t know how I feel about just letting them play

What's the alternative at this point?

Stop testing vaccinated players?

I don't know what else they can do other than those two options.

It’s a cluster effer…I think restarting covid procedures from last year immediately…boosters in arms.

Maybe implement another bye week to reset

+1

I'm also not positive about the idea of the league letting asymptomatic guys play, sends the wrong message imo. But this outbreak seems as bad as any that happened last year.

They need to go to last year's protocols immediately, I'd go a step further and start looking at bubble options for the playoffs.

A buddy of mine is a Baltimore County police officer. He told me the union signed off on that for police officers. If they are positive and asymptomatic they are on duty. They aren't even make considerations for retirement communities etc. I get that police officers have far more essential jobs than footballers though.

Not only that, you can still spread the virus and you may spread it to someone who gets really sick or worse. What a mess. Largely avoidable mess.

Symptomatic can spread em. Coughing, sneezing, etc. Asymptomatic and vaxxed? Clear them now.
