NoHuddleKelly12 Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 So hopefully, it's none of these guys though...? https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/details-emerge-on-josh-allens-gathering-of-teammates-in-florida/ar-BB15vKkD

Johnnycage46 Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) The hard part about this is all of the talk about immunity to the virus after you catch it and how the immunity might only last like 6 months. If guys get this now, there is a possibility they could get it again during the same season. If it was like a life-time immunity after catching the virus, and you're playing a contact sport with lots of close contact with people in locker rooms, team plane, meeting rooms, etc. you'd almost think to yourself "hey, I'm probably going to catch it, might as well catch it now so I can play in the fall". But it seems, unfortunately, you can get the virus multiple times. Edited July 16, 2020 by Johnnycage46

njbuff Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 I am beginning to think the only way to defeat this thing is to tackle it head on. Where has quarantining helped? 1

This is known as mitigation Florida did not quarantine. Florida alone has more cases than several countries.

Even though it originated in China and they have WAY more people than we do, they have been relatively unaffected. Pretty strange. 4,600 deaths vs over 140,000 in the US. Or they are just not honest in how they are reporting the data. 8 minutes ago, njbuff said: I live on Long Island. We are actually handling it pretty well here.

Mickey Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 13 minutes ago, Beast said: New York has had the worst numbers in the country since this began and it isn't even close. "had" being the operative word, how are we doing now? NY's numbers hit when we knew nothing about the virus. Because of its international airports it hit there first. With their population density, it spread quickly. In time NY figured it out with next to no help from the feds. These other states had waaaaay more warning and time to prepare than NY did and they wasted it. NY's crisis hit when the equipment shortages were at their worst and there was no time to fix it. Do you think that other states did something special early on that NY didn't that caused their numbers to be lower in March and April while NY's soared? If so, I'd love to hear what it was and please add in an explanation as to why whatever magic they were using before is suddenly not working now? A fine finish would be to explain why on earth it gets you anywhere to make the point that NY got hit so badly. What is your point? If you prove that NY was awful, does that excuse what is happening in Texas and Florida? Should those states not learn from what worked and did not work in NY? Or is your only point to "own the libs" or some other political bs that has no place in the middle of a pandemic? 5

Mickey Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Just now, MJS said: I don't personally blame any politician or local leader for the measures taken in the US. I think most have been doing the best they can (including the president) and a lot of people are judging using hindsight. Mistakes were made, but it's not surprising that mistakes were made given the situation and the lack of knowledge we were all dealing with. But yeah, everything from China appears to be quite fishy. And we shouldn't trust what claims they are making regarding COVID-19. So what is the reason why so much of the country is doing so badly compared to Germany and just about everywhere else in Europe? If this is the best they can do, we are $*@#ed. 1

The pandemic has been politicized unlike anything I have ever seen.

If this is the best they can do, we are $*@#ed. Belgium, UK, Spain, Italy, Sweden, and France all have a higher rate of death (deaths per 1 million population) than the US. So I don't know how true that is. Seems more like a scale issue to me. But the US has been hit hard. Edited July 16, 2020 by MJS
