Two of my wife’s closest friend had Covid-19 (a husband and wife) two of the infected couple’s friends had it As well. All were tested. All were positive. This was two months ago. My wife’s friend, the wife, felt like she had a bad seasonal allergyl and her husband had a fever. He was working with tar which is pungent as can be. He couldn’t smell.
Prediction: Ezekiel Elliott will not die. He won’t even be on a ventilator. My wife and I have seen said couple—let the contact racing begin—and neither of us feel anything. Honestly, I hope I was infected so I can get this tempest in a tea pot behind me.
Let’s stop pretending this is the Spanish FLU!
We were debating on this board about how we couldn’t compare Covid-19 with the flu. The Spanish Flu is Godzilla and this thing is a grasshopper.
Let’s stop with the hype. My prayers go out to those elderly and immune compromised people who succumbed. But we don’t close down an economy and sporting events from the flu.
Go ahead and try to re-educate me. Do it with facts, not taunts and shaming. Go!
I'm not trying to "re-educate" you...or "taunt" or "shame" you for that matter. And BTW...I agree with your prediction about Elliot (and most football players/staff/general public).
But there is the fact that over 115K Americans have died during this 4-month pandemic with thousands more predicted to die by the time a vaccine can be developed and mass-produced.
In light of this, my question deals with whether or not there are simple steps the NFL can take to help mitigate the spread of the virus considering the number of people involved in the sport? The league is already considering playing without fans (amongst other things). Are there any other modest options to be considered that could help?
ETA: I'm glad your wife's friends are OK.
