Titans Test Positive for Covid. Titans-Steelers Game postponed, Titans-Bills in jeopardy

[AZRams]

Sucks for Titsns fans. No Titans on my fantasy team

Derrick Henry. On two. And both with the RB2 and others injured. F*ck me if it goes south...

Andrew Whitworth and his family may disagree with your medical expertise there.

I'd have to go back and re-read the story but I seem to recall they were exposed to multiple sources. And they didn't pass it to the kids or vice-versa in quarantine.

Part of me thought the NFL could get through this like the NBA has done. The other part of me acknowledged that the NBA took some serious next level precautions in order to ensure their season continued. Can't say I'm surprised but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. This is the pebble in the pond, we'll be hearing about the effects of the ripples here shortly.

The NFL has planned for this. No way the plan for the 2020 season was to “hope they avoid it”.

Byes. Delayed games. Etc.

Curious to see what is announced.

I agree.

You do have to go back and re-read the story.

There goes the season.

Yeah, I don't see how making a team forfeit games due to Covid and probably out of contention, doesn't mean an asterisk to the season and its Champ. And this is only the first team and not the last.

There’s a list of curling team names. One is the Short and Curlers ... seriously ... I am rooting for them.

Anything is possible, but it isnt easily spread among members of a household. I had covid and my wife that was quarantined in the same house did not get it. In speaking with Drs and nurses it is not uncommon for 1 member of a household to test positive and the rest of the household test negative. But among people that are in good health the virus isnt dangerous and may be less easily spread due to the body fighting it and keeping the viral load to low to spread easily.

Okay, NOT trying to go there, but...

As someone who lost a child to one of those "one in a million" scenarios, let's not do that.

COVID has killed kids, young adults and healthy people under 55. Maybe not a lot, but it CAN be deadly, is dangerous to anyone and the ONLY way to have any kind of normalcy is to treat it as super dangerous...

That very line of thinking... that it wasn't dangerous and only bad for old people is why we have 200k deaths and climbing entering flu season and back to school.

I'm super impressed with how the NFL has conducted operations thus far and I really hope that their contingency plans allow for operations to continue.

But, and really this is my only beef... it IS dangerous and thinking anything less will end the football season within a matter of weeks (not to mention end more lives and maybe worst of all, give it many more chances to mutate into something truly horrific). Thankfully, the NFL is treating it as such and hopefully this will be contained.

Also, I said before the season started, thinking of COVID and soft tissue injuries, that the healthiest teams would be in contention to win and that seems true more than ever with teams like Denver and SF being decimated by injuries (worse if you think of the origin of the word, decimated) and now Tennessee players and staff testing positive for COVID.

Also... this may put A'Shawn Robinson joining the team this season on the back burner. Unless this contained super quick and we see no other outbreaks, I think he'll be not available to us for the season.

 

[Mackeyser]

Ugh, so keep them from their grandparents and anyone else thatbis high risk. How long are we going to act like this is the black plague???

/flamesuit on

Nah, we don't have to do that. No need for flame suits or any of that.

The math on the "herd immunity" is really scary and worse, as a corona virus, would give it a ridiculous number of iterations to mutate into something truly horrific.

It's a bad idea all around.

I can explain a lot of the confusion, but better in DMs. Not trying to convince anyone, just laying out the science.

COVID is bad. Part of the reason to get on top of it is to prevent deaths now. The other part is to knock it down before it goes Super Saiyan and knocks us down... which this branch of viruses can do.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Oh no, a Titans player caught a cold! Cancel football forever!

Baseball was fine, football should be fine.

 

[Corbin]

Fuck em... next man up and let’s play.

I can only speak from my own experience and what I have been told by Drs and nurses. Yes covid can kill people that are unhealthy, but according to my Dr, the Drs I have spoken with and several nurses I have spoken with covid is not dangerous to healthy people. Less than 18% of the deaths in my county were patients under 50, and most had serious health issues prior to covid.

 

[dieterbrock]

This is a bit precedent setting, as there isnt room in the schedule for make up games. I thought the purpose of the expanded practice squad was to prepare teams in the event they may be short handed due to covid. So if these teams cancel this weekend games, that ultimately becomes protocol. On the contrary if they do end up playing, that becomes the precedent

I addressed this already.

Firstly, that information is incorrect.

Less than still means some. And some of the young people who died had no co-morbidities or health issues of any kind.

The point is that COVID is dangerous and because we’re belligerent and thick-headed beings, we don’t engage with nuance or even good judgment.

Thus, it’s not enough to be reasonably safe because some are belligerently UNsafe (living in FL, I’ve seen some of that first hand)

Bottom line is this: if we want football, we have to remain vigilant and be safe. The NFL is going to and the best way we can support football is to be safe.

This is almost exclusively the case.
Everywhere.
The fear mongering, of course, has some basis in truth.
But, the reality is not changed by it.
Just peoples perception of reality.
I have zero doubt the commish will make the wrong call, because he always does.

Are these real tests or another batch of false positives?

When was there a batch of false positives or you just making general rhetorical statements? Anyway, looks like real positive...
