The pinned topic: COVID-19 - Facts and Information Only Topic, located on the Off the Wall subforum, is also a resource.   Should these not meet your needs, many other sources of information (of varied accuracy) exist.

Patriots CB Stephon Gilmore has tested positive for COVID-19, as @TomPelissero reported. 

So, for now, the Patriots have QB Cam Newton, CB Stephon Gilmore and practice squad DT Bill Murray on their Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Wow! That photo is something given this morning's news. Neither player should have let that moment happen. It is my understanding that it takes more than a moment of exposure to transmit it, but if not...the league is about to lose its coverboy for a couple weeks.

And the NFL cannot write the memo fast enough banning postgame handshakes or any interaction.

that’s the equivalent of sweeping the leg. 

Gilmore knew he was a close contact of Cam, yet inches away no mask from mahomes. Wicked smaht

you mean the league shouldn’t let it happen.  Players and coaches have been meeting at mid field post game for hands and hugs since WEEK 1.

NFL Should have never Played the KC vs NE game at all.  Just shows they really don't know how this virus is passed or even worse Do not care

No positives on chiefs yet. The spread within the pats would have occurred With or without the game

What I want to know is why is it two weeks for everyone else,  but in the NFL they start testing positive they only need two days of Negative tests.... ??   This makes no sense.

you clearly don't know how the virus works either if you think this is good news lol

 

look how long it took for Gilmore's test to come back positive 

 

it could take 1 week before the Chiefs players test positive and by that time they would have already played another game.

The problem is it takes a few days from getting thr virus to testing positive. But even in that interim you can still spread it to someone else. The Patriots/Chiefs game should have never been played.

Nfl needs to get rid of the post game mingling. Should head straight to respective locker rooms

Of course it can happen, but the patterns so far are that it has not. It has been within teams.

Time for the league to take a two week pause, all teams stand down, and just push the calendar out to the right two weeks.  Get this sucker under control.  It's not like they have facility usage problems.  No events are planned in these stadiums that can't be pushed.

We can see similar brief close contacts between many players after every play and after every game.

True it doesn't seem to spread outside very well. But you see that picture of Gilmore right in the face of Mahomes and you have to be a little worried. Patriots and Chiefs and Titans are going to get shut down for a couple weeks IMO. It's starting to spin out of control.

One might need to think that one through a little bit.

I would imagine they have war roomed all contingencies.  If this wasn't one of them, I would be shocked.
