Get well soon sir.

 

[Juice]

You would think that these guys would have been vaccinated by now. Is it hard to get a vaccine out there? Get well soon, Les.

 

[Soul Surfer]

I wonder if he caught it from that Rebel Wilson chick.

 

[den-the-coach]

Hard to understand, everyone needs to get vaccinated (IMHO) and I realize Les is most likely working non stop right now, but you would think that would be a priority.

Can be difficult. Most people around Les' age have had their first vaccine. In CA, vaccines weren't available to all 16+ until April 15 unless you worked in first response, health, retail, age, high risk, etc.

I argue it's admirable that Les followed the rules and did not line jump due to his relative wealth and status with the NFL. I'm in the same boat (minus wealth) and will receive my second vaccine in a couple weeks (CA, age bracket, and low risk health).

 

[Ramhusker]

Maybe he has already been vaccinated? Let's hope he is one of the 50% that never knew he had it otherwise.

 

[Rasp]

Damn... I hope he can tough it out and get through the draft.

 

[Loyal]

Let me do you a solid, Les....I'll go ahead and handle the 57th pick and you get ready for the rest.
*runs to podium with Creed Humphrey's name...

He did get vaccinated I read, it doesn't prevent you from getting it just prevents you from dying, having to go to the hospital if you get it. Makes it harder for you to spread it too since your body attacks it and gets rid of it faster. Just really bad timing. I hope he didn't get it because of all this pomp and circumstance they did with this draft house junk.

 

[Faceplant]

From what I understand, he has had his first Vax shot. The Vax doesn't keep you from getting C19, it just greatly reduces the chance that you will get seriously ill from it.

Had only gotten his first shot apparently if it matters...

Rams GM Les Snead tests positive for COVID-19, will sit out team's draft beach house - Yahoo Sports

No boss at the beach house for the Rams.

www.yahoo.com

The Los Angeles Rams' much-anticipated beach house war room for the 2021 NFL draft will have a notable absence: the team's general manager.

Rams GM Les Snead has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not be present at the beach house this weekend, he told The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue. Snead had reportedly received his first vaccination and was days away from his second shot.

That means the man ostensibly in charge of the Rams' decision-making will have to video-conference in while his co-workers enjoy their swanky digs:


One unfortunate quote from Snead in that video: "Hopefully, I'm just as excited about the 2022 draft, because wait until we see this spread and see this view. You can't help but draft well in an environment like this."

Fortunately, Snead's diagnosis didn't interrupt the Rams' plans for the first round too badly. That was because the team is not scheduled to pick until the 57th overall selection, having sent this year's first-round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Jalen Ramsey trade. That first-rounder ended up turning into Clemson running back Travis Etienne.

So in other words, the vaccine doesn't work. I'm not surprised.

 

[12intheBox]

not on draft day, guys - lets keep this one focused.

No if anything it signifies the importance of following the protocols until you're fully vaccinated.

just one shot is like 50%... he only had the first.

 

[Mackeyser]

He had the first shot and was scheduled to get the 2nd shot on Monday... so bad luck.

and whoever gave it to him within the Rams org (he wouldn't say more than that) is clearly feeling even worse for spreading it.

Hope he recovers quickly.

c'mon...don't do that...please...

LOL.
No surprise.
About 30-40% test positive after getting the jab.
He probably wouldn’t have noticed anything if he wasn’t required to test for work.
