Definitely a different vibe now than in April, then July again.
Either we've gotten used to the state of affairs or this has been waaaaay overblown than what it needed to be. When this topic was created it was "is anyone prepping", and now that just sounds ridiculous.
No idea where to post this since it has a direct effect on football games but guess I’ll start here. But so it begins...

They'll test everyone again, have those positives in quarantine and/or on the covid list, and play this Sunday. Life will go on. MLB was a blueprint on what not to do on positive cases.
The worst thing is they'll delay the game.
Much bigger impact for an NFL team than a MLB team depending on luck. If Tannehill and Derrick Henry are in the positive group and are out for multiple weeks the Titans have heavy potential to lose 2 games which would be Steelers and Buffalo... two teams that would likely directly effect their playoff scenarios. A postpone is more likely but can only do that once in an NFL season unlike MLB who can jam a shit ton of double headers in to compensate.
Could have some serious repercussions depending on how it plays out.
After all this time it has finally made its way to the little town that I live in here in the Midwest. They have started shutting schools down again and the nursing homes are being hit hard. So far everyone in my town that's had or has it regardless of age has been asymptomatic and has gotten over it with 14 day isolation.
Before jumping to the worst case scenario on who the affected players are, let's see who tests positive again and let them disinfect their facilities.
We've seen these things happen in other offices, newsrooms, restaurants, etc. Isolate the people, disinfect and resume. We're much better equipped now they people aren't knee jerking to everything.
Also I wasn't talking game impact with MLB, just on how the NFL will handle it vs MLB (i.e. no accountability until they had to). Both the Marlins and Cards continued to play after it was behind them. Aren't the Cards in the playoffs now? Anyways.
I don't think they are jumping to worst case scenario they are retesting and seeing if positives are in fact positives. If they are confirmed positives there could be some considerable complications arise from it.
Cards are in the playoffs because MLB can play 53 games in 44 days.
I wonder if those tests have been backed up with seconds. We all remember the false positives from a month or so again.
I haven’t shared it publicly here. My parents in their 80’s contracted and recovered in about 10 days. This was 2-3 months ago.
Both would describe it as bad flu, in their case. Both mostly healthy, but they are in their 80’s so... not exactly tip top shape either.
Not downplaying anything. Just a data point to offer to anyone looking for first hand data.
For what it's worth, I'd like to see the Seahawks, niners, and Patriots play a shit ton of double headers to the tune of 53 games in 44 days as long as they weren't against the Rams until the end.
They already did that and confirmed. The Cardinals and Marlins continued playing, despite them being threatened to disband their season.
The Titans, Vikings, and NFL will handle it better.
The Cardinals didnt keep playing, they missed 17 days of games that most were able to be made up with double headers and finished the season playing only 58 regular season games. Marlins missed 8 days
Yes I know, they stopped temporarily but eventually ended up playing again. The rest of the league kept on trucking.
Looks like they are going to play Monday or Tuesday, and life will go on.
Just saw a former Secret Service agent say, “The Covid safety precautions at the local Starbucks are more stringent than in the West Wing.”
Refuse to wear masks? Ignore social distancing? This is what happens.

or we're all just gonna get it. That's just what happens too... (I know better than posting in here...never mind)
All the *formers* sure do have stuff to say about the present, eh?
