It worked in pretty much every country. But because a bunch of babies had temper tantrums, we might lose out on the best Bills team since the SB years. At least 50% of the population are morons.. Like absolute glue sniffers. The sad thing is their ideas get reinforced by whatever media they choose that shares the same insane logic and viewpoints they do... 3

No one is "past" it, you are correct. But plenty of other countries at least seem to have handle on it to where they can start safely, slowly re-opening... while STILL following proper protocols and wearing masks.

Is Australia "most countries"? Take a glance at the graphs here and tell me whose company you would like to keep?https://www.endcoronavirus.org/countries Yes, there are more small nations that still have problems, but among the first world, only the US, Canada, Spain and Japan, and Israel are still surging. Canada is also way down from highs. Edited July 27, 2020 by BullBuchanan
HeHateMe Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 I think a bubble is the only way to play but that just doesn't seem realistic for the NFL. Where could you have a 2,000+ person bubble?

Where could you have a 2,000+ person bubble? It can be done - Just create a bubble for each team. The NFLPA just doesn't want to do it.

Now that they're re-opening more, they are seeing dramatic increases again.

Like A Mofo Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Maybe its time to get, you know, priorities in order and shut down sports altogether and get this damn virus under control. And we can, you know, come together as 1 and fight this so we can all resume normalcy sooner. Putting band aids on this will not slow the spread at all.

Most countries that immediately headed for their basements never got the saturation it needed to die out. It needs to run its course. Shutting down life indefinitely is not a solution. The analogy of it being a forest fire is spot on. 1

As a society we didn't take responsibility for our actions and do what was required to end the outbreak. We're the only country treating it as an inevitable part of everyday life. Most other countries are already past it. 2 minutes ago, Big Blitz said: Theres no "waves." This isn't the flu.

I don't know who you are quoting there. I googled a piece of your quote, and I found nothing. It goes without saying that there are prerequisites to getting to a place where we can reopen schools. The problem is that the posturing does even get us there. On one side, all that is being said is that we have to reopen. On the other side, they are only saying that we shouldn't even try. Obsessing over this stage of the debate means we can't get to a place where we figure out how to meet the prereqs necessary to open schools.

This is what I think has to be done. You have to keep all 32 teams in their own controlled, training camp type situation with next to zero contact with the outside world. As I said in another thread, soldiers are asked to perform tours of duty that last a year. This would last 5 months for folks making serious dough. Daily testing is of limited value when positive tests take days to show up. Buyouts of hotels and meals are cheap relative to losing this season's NFL TV money. 1

You guys should look up Taiwan. No lockdown, just a competent government response and responsible citizens. 1
