Don Otreply Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 And training camps haven’t even started yet... the word fiasco comes to mind... our society has the cart before the horse... 9 1 2
Mr. WEO Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 His job is to minimize risk, not "keep people safe". That's something all of us are "in charge of". 5 1 1

Yes, and way too many in this Country are doing a piss poor job of it! Edited July 27, 2020 by Bleedbuffaloblue 11

That's something all of us are "in charge of". Fair enough, I was just trying to make the point that if the guy who is devoting his energy to minimizing the risk to the team is testing positive, it doesn't bode well that teams aren't going to have major outbreaks like the Florida Marlins are experiencing now. I have my fingers crossed that football will find a way because watching a Bills game right about now would be the best tonic for our fan base, but it sometimes seems like just a lot of wishful thinking. Also, I wonder who has that job with the Bills? Edited July 27, 2020 by ChevyVanMiller 2

I think that teams based where the virus has been allowed to run wild will the teams most negatively impacted, no matter how many Infection Control Officers they employ. 1

And then they play a team from where the virus isn’t running wild, and spread it to them, so they can take it home with them after the game, and give it to people in their communities... The word “fiasco” rears its head yet again. It sucks to be us right now... Edited July 27, 2020 by Hapless Bills Fan poly ticks elsewhere please 2 1 1

People for the most part have behaved in a way that has led to this current state of low disease positive incidence. 2 1

But many of the hard hit areas today are doing little to stop it's spread compared to what was done in NY so that may not happen either. Just read yesterday, they are considering re-opening the bars in Miami area. Got to keep those alcohol tax dollars flowing in.
ChevyVanMiller Posted July 27, 2020 Author Posted July 27, 2020 It appears that the Bills are ahead of the curve than most teams with having their infectious disease response plan approved by the NFL. https://www.wkbw.com/sports/buffalo-bills/buffalo-bills-infectious-disease-emergency-response-plan-approved-by-nflpa

People for the most part have behaved in a way that has led to this current state of low disease positive incidence. My point is not that, and I am very happy Cuomo and most New Yorkers have done the right things, the point was that when the Bills play a team from a state like Florida, say the Dolphins, they stand a higher chance of contracting the virus and bringing it home with them.

When the dust settles that may be true, but what about all the players who have been living and working out in S. Florida, Texas, and S. Cali who are now distributing themselves to all 32 teams?

I hear ya, the lack of doing things that aid the common good of the country is a bit frightening frankly, lots of willful ignorance thwarting constructive efforts nation wide.
