ChevyVanMiller Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) This survey suggests that a majority of fans would not attend a game before Covid-19 vaccines are made available to the public. Considering the fact that that seems highly unlikely before this upcoming NFL season, let’s take a poll of Bills fans. Are you in or out this season without a vaccine? https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/29018209/poll-fans-attend-games-vaccine Edited April 10, 2020 by ChevyVanMiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Although I was unable to be tested, my symptoms and my doc indicate that I probably had the ‘Rona already, so I’d like to think I’d be good to go whenever the season starts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stank_Nasty Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) There’s a lot of context lacking here... will quicker tests be mass distributed by then? Will there be safe approved meds to quell or alleviate symptoms? And will these factors help with healthcare facilities finally being caught up by then to the point where it’s much more manageable and not nearly the risk and issue that it is now? im not gonna vote on just a yes or no question. Too much missing. Edited April 10, 2020 by Stank_Nasty 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherlock Holmes Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I need at least 25 rounds of the vaccine injected directly into my @$$... Hopefully they will make a vaccine for stubbed toes and butthurt soon because I am addicted!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Not sure right now for myself but I think it depends. If we were to knock this thing down, get back to "normal" over the summer and see no significant flare ups I think the answer could be yes for many. But it seems increasingly unlikely that will happen. But it is hard to know right now, even scientists dont have varying predictions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutDog Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I’d love to say yes but I am 50 and have cancer. Can’t do it, unfortunately. I basically have no immune system. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 With sufficient testing I think its possible to manage the hospital workloads and get through it. But we're a long way away from sufficient testing. The test needs to be fast, and determine if you A- have it and B- already had it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaRun Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Who knows Will there be a season? Will the border be open, will us long time Canadian season ticket holders have a chance? Will it be one person for every 5 seats? Based on seniority, 20 years or longer? Will it all have blown over and we'll be laughing about it? I'm hoping it's all blown over and we can share a drink and laugh about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Yes. But unlike you mere mortals, I’m impervious to infections. (though I may be a carrier...?) 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BisonMan Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 My assumption is that there will be no vaccine available anytime during the NFL season and probably not until late Spring 2021. I do think there will be some treatments that will provide a significant reduction of symptoms in the most severe cases (like serum therapy). However, these likely won't be available for those with more "mild" symptoms, which for COVID-19 are pretty severe. Being an outdoor stadium helps here as there is a slightly lower change of spread there but, because the Bills will be REALLY GOOD this year, I'd expect the stadium to be more occupied than not. Sellouts will be rare and tickets will be cheap on the aftermarket. I personally would not take the chance on getting it by attending a crowded event unless I know I've already had it. ? So, that's a NO. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Not live. Captain Obvious here. All kidding aside, I’m more than happy to watch on TV until we have a vaccine. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I had a heart attack 6 months ago so I am on the endangered species list That said I am not too worried God has had plenty of opportunities to take me including last year I missed going to every game last year (watched on tv)and I want to get to them all this year.

YoloinOhio Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 If it was this month or next month, no. Hard to say what the landscape will be in September. I’ll just follow the CDC guidelines. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I voted no, but I don’t attend games anyways. Can’t beat the view and comfort from home. That being said, stadiums are huge. I can’t see why they couldn’t devise some social distancing capacity for these games. Ticket revenue is such a small amount of revenue for the NFL. If a stadium has a capacity of 70,000 maybe sell 20,000 tickets, all seats spaced out strategically. Only have a gate for a certain amount of tickets at a certain amount of time. Spread the entrance times out amongst 2 hours. If you have X section you go to X gate at X time kind of thing. It sounds more complicated than I think it would be. You section off seats. Skipping a row or some seats between people. On the ticket you print what gate they are to enter and at what time. An organization as large as the NFL shouldn’t have a problem figuring out the logistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Yep. Fought the 'Rona and won, now I have the immunity. It was an easy fight actually felt like the flu, I am going to attribute that to all the unknown shots the Army gave me for 20 years. I know I have given a ton of plasma already Edited April 10, 2020 by MAJBobby 7 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They called it "Super Pneumonia" adn Drs couldnt agree if it was Viral or Bacterial..... Then Covid came and my family recognized all of my symptoms were identical to Covid.....so I think I had it as well. Actually considering taking the time to get my Dr records from the Hospital to check it out 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
