COVID in the complex

Reich replied that Parris was "making good progress" and was nearing a return to practicing with the team but it doesn't sound like he will be ready for the game vs the Cardinals - which was Campbell's initial goal. I believe the original estimate was that he would be out 2 - 3 months with his injury + recovery....the Cardinals game would have been a little over 2 months.

What are you talking about? Everyone is catching this. The CDC reported that 80% of Omicron cases were fully vaccinated people, 1/3 of them with boosters.

The nearly 2500 NFL players have a 95% vaccination rate. The nearly 4200 NFL personnel have a near 100% vaccination rate. They had, what, 100 players test positive last Monday/Tuesday?

As far as the mask, first off, almost nobody is using the one that does anything... Second, I don't see how it provides comfort to anyone when Carson Wentz goes on the field and breathes, spits, coughs, bleeds, cries, and whatever else all over everybody... But then he goes to the sidelines and puts a mask on so nobody gets sick.

The NFL doesn't actually give a shit about anybody having Covid. They're only worried about guys catching Covid. We've now seen it. If it gets bad enough, they'll just change the rules around testing and protocols. They'll just test fewer players less often. Less tests mean less positives.

Because they care.

Crap should have told my vaccinated friend who couldn't go to the game Saturday because she has it

Vaccinated people carry a much lower viral load, which means two things…they don’t get as sick, and they’re less likely to spread the disease.

The pathogen can still enter your body, but the result is that your immune system has now been immunized with the appropriate signaling proteins to effectively destroy the pathogen, preventing more serious illness.

The reason smallpox was eradicated was both because of this way that the vaccine worked but also because we had a massive vaccination rollout. Once *everyone got immunized against it, what was left of the virus spreading around was quickly killed by immune systems, and it couldn’t spread to that *small number of people who legitimately could not take the shot for medical reasons.

We could have similar success with COVID but for some reason half the country has lost their damn minds about basic medical science and clearly didn’t deserve the passing grades they got in high school biology.

The biggest factor is that no other creature than humans can contract smallpox. Once it’s eliminated in humans, there’s no other animal reservoir in which it can survive.

Smallpox requires direct contact with an infected person, it isn't spread via aerosolization like COVID. Makes a huge difference.

To vaccinate or not, the choice is absolutely clear. Who gives a shit what any of us think about this anyway?

Rock is a big loss (happy to write that) however. Dude is turning into a number one cornerback. Good for him and for the team to have way more patience than most of us here.

Yes, vaccinated people can contract covid. No question. But, when you’re vaccinated, your immune system kicks in and starts fighting the disease before it gets a chance to take hold and rage out of control.

Think of it as a wildfire on the prairie. You get a lightning strike and the grass starts to burn. Vaccination acts like a rainstorm that comes along shortly after the fire starts and puts out the fire. If you’re not vaccinated, the fire builds until it rages out of control.

Not everyone who catches it will die…it’s not like it’s a death sentence. But, for people who are old, overweight, have diabetes or any one of a dozen other underlying conditions, the consequences of catching covid are increasingly dire.

The irony is that Republicans are fighting vaccinations, masking, social distancing, and any number of common sense precautions intended to protect Americans from the disease. The result is that a Trump supporter is ten times more likely to die of Covid than a Biden voter. No one wants to say it, but the bottom line is that, in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona… Trump supporters are dying in large enough numbers to tip the next election to Biden.

of course he has. all the other republican politicians have as well. they just tell their followers not to do it because it is popular. because those people are stupid and say things like "lets go brandon" and think they are hilarious.

fox news has vaccine mandates but rails against it on air. this country really needs to wake up.

The NFL has take note of the fact that when vaccinated players test positive, they’re not showing any symptoms. They’re also listening to experts who tell them that covid positive vaccinated players carry such a low viral load that they’re unlikely to be contagious
