It's easy, and only takes a few moments.While it hasn’t happened yet, let’s keep this thread about how this might play out with the NFL and avoid any politics, etc. Again, any political references could result in a thread ban, so please be mindful of that.
COVID 19 is NOT primarily a respiratory disease, although there are respiratory symptoms.
Still - the goal is to try and keep it from going that way. However, I do wonder with this news how many players will be open to getting vaccinated and whether or not there will be any push-back. I don't know if any of this is in the CBA or if it's been discussed with the player's union, but I'm sure we'll find out.it is inevitable..........especially with the November 1 vaccine on it's way
The NBA is handling this well with the bubble. I don’t see why the NFL isn’t doing something similar.
Well that's not good.
do we know how big that sample size was, ie how many big 10 athletes tested positive?
and do we know how many of that 35% resulted in actual damage to the heart? an inflamed heart as a result of your bodies fighting off a virus is a normal reaction, and most if not all mild cases go away as you recover from the infection
so a) i want to know the sample size and b) i want to know the actual severity
note: i haven't had time to research yet......all i have is this tweet and what a coworker said this AM, and he did not have any answers for me either
There are more people on two NFL teams, than thier are in the entire NBA bubble. Whats a NBA team? 20 people including coaches and training staff. A single NFL team is at least 60, closer to 100.
The NHL did a great job of keeping the conferences seperate with two bubbles, still that wouldn't work with the NFL schedule.
Plus the field, if every team was at one site, with the most say 2 NFL fields, you would have to play 6 games on each field every Sunday.
Myocarditis also sometimes occurs if you're exposed to:
- Medications or illegal drugs that might cause an allergic or toxic reaction. These include drugs used to treat cancer; antibiotics, such as penicillin and sulfonamide drugs; some anti-seizure medications; and some illegal substances, such as cocaine.
