I think it was Rich Eisen who floated the idea that the NFL could possibly take those week 1-4 games and slide them to the back end of the schedule if the season were unable to start on time.
Yeah, this is not a good sign. Especially for a football season.
Yea, despite the country shutting down for 2 months there are 80,000+ deaths, and most likely more unaccounted for, and you aren't sure if it's any worse than the standard flu.It it yet to be determined if the current virus is any worse than any other deadly viruses that is part of our everyday life. In fact the herd theory may be more effective for quelling the outbreaks than quarantines .
The story is about the Herd Theory. When you have some time do som reading on it. It is a way of dealing with pandemicsYea, despite the country shutting down for 2 months there are 80,000+ deaths, and most likely more unaccounted for, and you aren't sure if it's any worse than the standard flu.
Cool story.
Have you checked the influenza death rate?Yea, despite the country shutting down for 2 months there are 80,000+ deaths, and most likely more unaccounted for, and you aren't sure if it's any worse than the standard flu.
Cool story.
Yea, according to the CDC there are about 20,000 to 60,000 influenza-related deaths each year. We are now sitting at over 80,000 (and likely more) in just 2 months with the entire country literally shut down.Have you checked the influenza death rate?
I don't really trust any numbers coming out about this. It's already been shown that a lot of it is bullshit. People being tested... Cause of death...Yea, according to the CDC there are about 20,000 to 60,000 influenza-related deaths each year.

And I know what herd immunity is, I appreciate you responding to me with 2 separate posts though.
Out of 5000 getting tested, following protocols, wearing n-95 masks etc. some percentage will get infected and some percentage will die and more importantly some will spread it.For the record I do think there will be a full season, maybe not with fans, but they aren't losing that TV money on top of tickets/gate revenue under any circumstance, barring a complete explosion of cases in the fall which seems unlikely.
European soccer leagues are already gearing to start up in the next few weeks without fans, there's absolutely no reason the NFL can't play games without fans in 4+ months.
When you consider how much television money is at stake the measures to play games without fans seem relatively simple. Just have 1-2 dedicated hotels in each NFL city that are completely bought out and nobody else except NFL personnel can use, along with dedicated planes, and test everybody involved from the players to support staff to hotel employees basically non-stop.
Considering how much money is at stake the cost of these measures are totally negligible.

It's proving to be very profitable for hospitals and city government if people "die" from CV.
Absolutely. I read an article that a hospital in NYC was running in the red, in danger of going bankrupt. But they receive federal money for each death listed that was Covid related. Didn't take them long to be out of debt and running in the black.Yeah, if anything, I believe they're artificially inflated.
Coronavirus is most hazardous to people over 65. Witten should retire and save his life.Out of 5000 getting tested, following protocols, wearing n-95 masks etc. some percentage will get infected and some percentage will die and more importantly some will spread it.
So if Zeke gets COVID and maybe gets himself or someone close to him sick and killed, it's worth it because we had football?
Is the NFL an essential business?
Not sure every state will agree there, but that's the question.
