Re: John Harbaugh's thoughts on the NFL virus guidelines.
Let's think about this logically - some players in Dallas have tested positive. If it's mid season do they quarantine for 2 weeks and miss games? What if it's the star QB before the division game?
They either have to play through this and just deal with those who have symptoms like they would any other sickness, or don't play - what other options are there? I'm seriously asking...

Re: John Harbaugh's thoughts on the NFL virus guidelines.
The reality is that the NFL will not handle the logistics right. Antiquated ownership will push Goodell to make porous decisions and this will blow up in the NFL’s face.

Re: John Harbaugh's thoughts on the NFL virus guidelines.
I don't have to, I have been in practice for 23 years. I haven't been closed 1 day for Covid, I see on average 100 patients a day right now, I work in Baltimore county and touch people every day without gloves on. You hole up, we'll get back to living lives while you whine and wait for that awesome vaccine that's going to solve the problem for you.

Re: John Harbaugh's thoughts on the NFL virus guidelines.
If we have a season at all, I would guess that we'll have a new COVID "injury" roster designation. Sort of like a separate IR with an automatic eligible-to-return designation. I can see players from all teams going on there for ~4 weeks or whatever, as the season rolls on. And none of this bullshit about whether they can return or not. ALL players on the COVID-IR can return when – I dunno: when they've been fever-free for 72 hours and test negative? Something like that.

Re: John Harbaugh's thoughts on the NFL virus guidelines.
Hmmm...you can call it eradicated if you want, they still have small outbreaks. There are plenty of viral diseases that they don't have effective vaccines for like influenza and there are a lot of complications every year with the vaccines for people.If you are going to sit around and wait for a vaccine for Corona virus before getting on with your life, you could be waiting a long time, maybe for the entirety of your life in fact.
I am going to say this and then I will try and not say any more on this subject because too many of you are waay too sensitive about the topic and no amount of statistical evidence or common sense is going to change your mind about the virus, you have your minds made up and your truth is all that matters. My point in all of this is, that the Corona virus was VASTLY over rated for most of the US population and to react the way we did was a HUGE over reach. The average age of death from Covid-19 is 81 years old. The average age of death in the US for EVERYTHING else we die of is 78, so by and large you have to be immune compromised and north of 80 for this to be a real concern. Do you know how high the age of death has to be statistically speaking to drag the number 3 years higher? Here is the big thing people need to wrap their minds around if they want to move on with life, NATIONALLY 42% OF THE CORONA VIRUS DEATHS ARE FROM 0.6% OF THE POPULATION. In Maryland,54.3% of the deaths were from nursing homes, In Ohio it was 70%, in Pennsylvania it is 69%, Minnesota it was 81%...Let this sink in: 42% of all COVID-19 deaths are taking place in facilities that house 0.62% of the U.S. population.
It turns out that MOST of what they expected to happen was based off of faulty or bad information out of China, and the models as they always are, were very wrong. The virus doesn't last on surfaces, they said it did.The virus isn't transferred very well if at all, by asymptomatic people, they said it would be. The virus was supposed to kill almost 2.1 million people in the US, it didn't. If states like New York hadn't mandated that Covid-19 patients in nursing homes REMAIN in nursing homes, their total number of deaths statewide would be dramatically less then they are. For a very small percentage of the population, this thing is a very big concern, but for many many more of us, it is not. How many nursing home residents are hanging out at M&T bank stadium?
To paraphrase Mark Twain- It is far easier to fool people than it is to convince them that they have been fooled.
